Microwave-Mediated Pyrolysis of Macro-Algae
Abstract
Macro-algae (seaweed) is an abundant and, for the most part, under-utilised resource. This study has shown that microwave (MW)-mediated pyrolysis of seaweed occurs at extremely low temperatures and produces chemical rich bio-oils which are rich in aromatics, sugars and other high value chemicals.

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.
