A Detailed Process Model for the Integration of Wet-Oxidation into Advanced Biofuel Production Via Hydrothermal Liquefaction

Short Introductive summary

One promising option to convert various organic feedstock into liquid transportation biofuels is hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL). Several studies have investigated process chains with HTL and biocrude upgrading as the core fuel production processes. It was found that the utilization of side-streams, especially the HTL aqueous phase (AP), is of high relevance both for economic and for ecological performance indicators, which is why the issue of HTL AP treatment was also framed as the most serious bottleneck of commercialization of HTL. In this work a more recent approach, wet-oxidation of the HTL aqueous phase (AP) is modelled in detail as part of the work performed in the EU-funded project CIRCULAIR.
