Influence of lipid extraction and processing conditions on hydrothermal conversion of microalgae feedstocks - Effect on hydrochar composition, secondary char formation and phytotoxicity

Veronica Benavente et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of lipid extraction on microalgae feedstocks subjected to hydrothermal carbonization. It found that unextracted microalgae had higher carbonization degree and secondary char content, while extracted microalgae had lower solid yield due to more decomposition products remaining in the liquid phase. Despite potentially toxic substances, extracted hydrochars showed lower phytotoxic potential, suggesting different applications for extractive-rich hydrochars and low-temperature hydrochars.

Effect of hydrothermal carbonization temperature on reactivity and synergy of co-gasification of biomass hydrochar and coal

Juntao Wei et al.

Summary: This study investigated the co-gasification of blended char of bituminous coal and rice straw at different temperatures and found that the interaction between the binary particles influenced the reactivity and kinetics during co-gasification. The synergistic effect was weaker at higher HTC and gasification temperatures, affecting the transformation of mineral matter and the chemical structure evolution. The results suggest that the presence of synergistic effect can enhance blended char reactivity and improve co-gasification kinetics.
