Thermochemical biofuel production in hydrothermal media: A review of sub- and supercritical water technologies

TL;DR: Several biomass hydrothermal conversion processes are in development or demonstration as mentioned in this paper, which are generally lower temperature (200-400 °C) reactions which produce liquid products, often called bio-oil or bio-crude.

A review of catalytic upgrading of bio-oil to engine fuels

TL;DR: In this article, two general routes for bio-oil upgrading have been considered: hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) and zeolite cracking, where zeolites, e.g. HZSM-5, are used as catalysts for the deoxygenization reaction.

Hydrogenolysis and hydrocracking of the carbon-oxygen bond. 2. Thermal cleavage of the carbon-oxygen bond in guaiacol

TL;DR: In this article, a model compound, guaiacol, is used for the study of the behavior of the carbon-oxygen bonds under thermolytic conditions, and the thermodynamic properties of the compound are studied in tetralin, naphthalene and without solvent under hydrogen or nitrogen pressure at 578-618 K.

Liquefaction of wood by rapid hydropyrolysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that when heated rapidly (70-90 s) in water to 350°C and quenched, the wood carbon and hydrogen are retained in the oil.
