Abstract
Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is a promising thermochemical technology that converts wet biomass and biowaste feedstocks into biocrude oils and valuable biochemicals. HTL processes are usually operated in hot pressurized water or water-alcohol mixture, with/without other organic solvents at 200–400°C and pressure up to 25MPa with/without catalysts. Compared with biochemical and other thermochemical conversion methods, HTL provides a cost-effective solution to the bioenergy industry on the use of wet biomass streams, especially industrial and municipal biowastes. This chapter introduces the fundamental concepts and major process parameters of HTL and reviews the most recent research and development (R&D) progress in this field. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
