Abstract:This study aims to produce renewable diesel and
biopriviliged chemicals from microalgae that can thrive in wastewater
environment. <i>Spirulina</i> (SP) was
converted into biocrude oil at 300ºC for a 30-minute reaction time via hydrothermal
liquefaction (HTL). Next, fractional distillation was used to
separate SP-derived biocrude oil into different distillates. It was found that 62%
of the viscous SP-derived biocrude oil can be separated into liquids at about 270ºC
(steam temperature of the distill… Show more
