  • Sequential Hydrothermal Liquifaction (SEQHTL) for Extraction of Superior Bio-Oil and Other Organic Compounds from Oleaginous Biomass
    Publication number: 20140296495
    Abstract: Methods of producing bio-fuel and other high-value products from oleaginous biomass (e.g. algae biomass) are provided. The two-step methods use a first step of subcritical water extraction of the biomass at low temperatures to produce polysaccharides and other high value products of interest, followed by, ii) hydrothermal liquefaction of remaining solid biomass at high temperatures to produce bio-oil.
