Waste straw contains a large amount of lignin, and its resource utilization is not only in line with the national double carbon development strategy, but also to alleviate environmental pollution. Hydrothermal carbonization new thermochemical conversion technology, which has attracted much attention because it can directly transform containing waste raw materials high moisture content low energ...

The fuel properties of the solid product obtained from hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) are substantially influenced by interaction reactions lignocellulose components. This study focused on cellulose and hemicellulose (represented glucose xylose, respectively) formation mechanism hydrochar through experiments density functional theory methods. Results indicated that furfural was main intermedi...

Microalgae have tremendous potential as a feedstock for production of liquid biofuels, particularly biodiesel fuel via transesterification of algal lipids. However, biodiesel production results in significant amounts of algal residues, or “lipid extracted algae” (LEA). Suitable utilization of the LEA residue will improve the economics of algal biodiesel. In the present study, we evaluate the hy...

This paper compares conventional and microwave hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of human biowaste (HBW) at 160 °C, 180 °C and 200 °C as a potential technology to recover valuable carbonaceous solid fuel char and organic-rich liquor. Also discussed are the influence of HTC heating methods and temperature on HBW processing conversion into solid fuel char, i.e. yield and post-HTC management, dewat...
