Abstract |
Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is a thermal depolymerization method that uses homogeneous catalysts to increase product quality depending on the processing circumstances. Any biomass can be turned into bio oil, regardless of composition, which influences product quality. The major parameter influences the reaction kinetics as well as the energy inputs required for product formation. Biofuels obtained using HTL have no carbon emissions during combustion and do not release hazardous gases such as ammonia, NOx, Sox, and so on. The HTL process uses 10-15% of the energy in the feed stock biomass, resulting in 85-90% energy. The bio oil produced by HTL can be utilized in large engines or improved to produce diesel, gasoline, or jet fuel. |
