Microalgae are considered to be a promising alternative feedstock for next generation biofuels because of their rapid photosynthetic growth rates and less impact on land-use food production compared with grain other lignocellulosic biomass. In this study, fast-growing, low-lipid, high-protein microalga species, Chlorella pyrenoidosa, was converted via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) into four products: bio-crude oil, aqueous product, gaseous solid residue. The effects operating conditions...
It has been predicted that the Arctic Ocean will sequester much greater amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) from atmosphere as a result sea ice melt and increasing primary productivity. However, this prediction was made on basis observations either highly productive ocean margins or ice-covered basins before recent major retreat. We report here high-resolution survey sea-surface CO2 concentration across Canada Basin, showing great increase relative to earlier observations. Rapid invasion low...
This study introduces and analyzes a novel system for algal biofuel production that synergistically integrates wastewater treatment with hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of biosolids algae into bio-crude oil. maximizes the potential inputs by internally capturing recycling carbon nutrients – powerful concept referred to as multi-cycle nutrient reuse, which amplifies waste multiple cycles biomass bioenergy production. We call this "Environment-Enhancing Energy" (E2-Energy) because it can...
We conducted hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of soybean oil, soy protein, microcrystalline cellulose, xylose, and lignin as individual compounds binary, ternary, quaternary, quinary mixtures at 350 °C for 30 min. The 34.5 wt % biocrude yield from HTL the mixture, which mimics biochemical composition swine manure, is much higher than 21.5 calculated weighted average yields components. binary protein cellulose lignin, xylose revealed synergistic effects on yield. On other hand, oil together...
