Abstract

Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is a thermochemical process that produces various products from lignocellulosic feedstocks. In this study sugar cane bagasse was used as feedstock for HTL. Experiments were carried out in a batch reactor, at varying operating conditions to investigate the effect on the product yields and product composition. The reactor temperature, heating rate, and retention time were varied, while the volume loading of the reactor and feedstock to water ratio were kept constant. Nitrogen was used to pressurize the reactor for all experiments. It was found that none of the operating conditions have a significant effect on the parameters studied
