T01-F01 Synergistic effect of water and co-solvents on the hydrothermal liquefaction of agricultural biomass to produce heavy oil Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL) was performed on Alberta’s agricultural biomass, corn stover and wheat straw, at an operating temperature of 300°C, initial reactor pressure of 600 psi and zero min retention time. Effects of adding Co-solvents (Methanol, Ethanol, and 2-Propanol) on yield and quality of heavy oil has been studied. 2-Propanol exhibited to be a promising Co-solvent that has improved the quality of heavy oil. HTL of corn stover using water-2-propanol mixture produced heavy oil having oxygen content of 18.8 wt.%, Higher Heating Value (HHV) of 32.0 MJ/kg and Total Acid Number (TAN) value of 81.74 mg KOH/g oil. HTL of wheat straw using water-2-propanol mixture produced heavy oil showing an oxygen content of 17.99 wt.% and HHV of 32.86 MJ/kg.T01-P05 Publication 2022-01-06 Snehlata Das, Ankit Mathanker, Deepak Pudasainee, " Khan M" , Amit Kumar, Raj Gupta
T01-P05 A Review of Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Biomass for Biofuels Production with a Special Focus on the Effect of Process Parameters, Co-Solvents, and Extraction Solvents Hydrothermal liquefaction is one of the common thermochemical conversion methods
adapted to convert high-water content biomass feedstocks to biofuels and many other valuable
industrial chemicals. The hydrothermal process is broadly classified into carbonization, liquefaction,
and gasification with hydrothermal liquefaction conducted in the intermediate temperature range of
250–374 ◦C and pressure of 4–25 MPa. Due to the ease of adaptability, there has been considerable
research into the process on using various types of biomass feedstocks. Over the years, various
solvents and co-solvents have been used as mediums of conversion, to promote easy decomposition of the lignocellulosic components in biomass. The product separation process, to obtain the finalproducts, typically involves multiple extraction and evaporation steps, which greatly depend on the type of extractive solvents and process parameters. In general, the main aim of the hydrothermalprocess is to produce a primary product, such as bio-oil, biochar, gases, or industrial chemicals,such as adhesives, benzene, toluene, and xylene. All of the secondary products become part ofthe side streams. The optimum process parameters are obtained to improve the yield and quality of the primary products. A great deal of the process depends on understanding the underlined reaction chemistry during the process. Therefore, this article reviews the major works conducted in the field of hydrothermal liquefaction in order to understand the mechanism of lignocellulosic conversion, describing the concept of a batch and a continuous process with the most recent state-of-art technologies in the field. Further, the article provides detailed insight into the effects of various process parameters, co-solvents, and extraction solvents, and their effects on the products’ yield and quality. It also provides information about possible applications of products obtained through liquefaction. Lastly, it addresses gaps in research and provides suggestions for future studies.T01-P05 Publication 2021-08-11 Ankit Mathanker, Snehlata Das, Deepak Pudasainee, " Monir Khan" , Amit Kumar, Raj Gupta
