Upgrading hydrothermal liquefaction biocrude oil for sustainable aviation fuel
Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2027-08-01

Upgrading hydrothermal liquefaction biocrude oil from wet biowaste into transportation fuel
… is to develop viable technologies to upgrade biocrude oil converted from wet biowaste via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL). Three types of feedstocks (algae, swine manure, and food processing waste) were converted into biocrude oil via HTL for upgradation processes, which includes pretreating …

Hydrothermal liquefaction for energy recovery from high-moisture waste biomass
… high-moisture waste biomass into energy dense “biocrude” oil that can be used for direct combustion or refined for transportation grade fuels. This study investigates the influence of biomass composition on the chemical characteristics of hydrothermal liquefaction biocrude oil, and the potential …

Experimental and modeling study for hydrothermal liquefaction of wet biowaste
… min) to convert categorized food residues into biocrude oil. The effects of different biochemical compositions of the feedstock on the biocrude oil production, energy balance, elemental distribution, and reaction mechanism are investigated. The mixture food waste yields 46.9 wt.% of biocrude oil …

Hydrothermal processes to recover energy and nutrients from liquid portion of swine manure
… including hydrothermal liquefaction for biocrude oil production, and catalytic hydrothermal gasification for biogas production. Related analyses and estimations for energy and nitrogen recovery revealed that HTL was unable to transform successfully the organics in the cLPAM into biocrude …

Adsorbent-based algal cultivation system to facilitate integration of algal biofuel production with wastewater treatment
… subsequently convert the wet mixed biomass to biocrude oil via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL). Three different hydraulic retention times (HRT) were used to study the effects of nutrient loading on the removal of nutrients and biocrude oil yield. The results were used to develop an advantageous …

Hydrothermal liquefaction of microalgae: Influence of varying cell compositions on biocrude yield and quality
… as the reaction medium to convert biomass into biocrude oil under elevated temperatures and pressures (200–350°C, 5–20 MPa). While there is extensive literature on the separate processes of microalgae cultivation and HTL conversion, relationships between different biochemical compositions of a …

Characterizing the fate and transport of chemicals of emerging concern (CECs) from swine manure during waste to energy processes
… in antibiotics, while converting biomass into biocrude oil with up to a 40.0% yield (dry basis) and a bio-char solid residue with a 12.0% yield (dry basis) using the HTL. In addition, the CHG process converted the same biomass to syn-gas with an average yield of up to 54.4% (dry basis). The …

Conversion of waste organic carbon and nutrient streams to renewable fuels through integrated biological funneling and catalytic hydrothermal upgrading
… by developing predictive relationships for HTL biocrude yield and other conversion product characteristics based on HTL of Nannochloropsis oculata batches harvested with a wide range of compositions and a defatted batch. A component additivity model (predicting biocrude yield from lipid, …

Treatment of post hydrothermal liquefaction wastewater and suitability for hydroponic lettuce production
The hydrothermal-liquefaction of biowaste into biocrude oil has the potential to address the food-energy-water (FEW) nexus in junction with food production and water filtration using the wastewater from the process. This aqueous byproduct of the HTL process, post-hydrothermal liquefaction …

Hydrothermal liquefaction of wild-harvested cyanobacterial bloom from hypereutrophic Lake Tainter, Wisconsin
… projected Minimum Fuel Selling Price of reformed biocrude produced from the Lake Tainter HAB is 18-29% lower than biocrude produced from cultivated algae. The biocrude produced is of sufficient yield and quality to realize a net energy profit making HTL an important environmental remediation …

Improving integrated systems for algal biofuels and wastewater treatment
… nutrients and organics to produce bio-crude oil. Centered around this novel system, we investigated several important aspects that can improve performance of the integrated system and resolve several of the key limitations of current algal biofuel production schemes. The novel system proposed …
