Comparative Evaluation of Thermochemical Liquefaction and Pyrolysis for Bio-Oil Production from Microalgae
Abstract
Bio-oil is the liquid product of thermochemical liquefaction or pyrolysis of biomass. Thermochemical liquefaction (TCL) is a low temperature (250–350 °C) and high pressure (5–20 MPa) process particularly suited for high moisture feedstocks, whereas pyrolysis is accomplished at moderate to high temperatures (400–600 °C) and atmospheric pressure and requires drying of the feedstock. In this paper, we present experimental results that provide a critical comparison of TCL and slow pyrolysis processes for producing bio-oil from algae. TCL experiments were performed in a 1.8-L Parr reactor using algae slurry (80% moisture) and pyrolysis runs were carried out in an 8-L mild steel cubical reactor, using dried algal powder as received (∼4% moisture). Yields and composition of bio-oil, char, gases, and aqueous phase were evaluated and compared for TCL and pyrolysis. TCL resulted in higher bio-oil yields (∼41%), lower char yields (∼6.3%), and lower energy consumption ratio compared to pyrolysis, which resulted in 23–29% bio-oil, and 28–40% solids yields. Bio-oil obtained from TCL was found to have higher energy density and superior fuel properties such as thermal and storage stabilities, compared to pyrolysis bio-oil.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
