Biomass Liquefaction
- Biomass liquefaction is a process that converts organic materials, such as plant and animal waste, into liquid biofuels and valuable chemicals.
- The process begins with selecting and preparing biomass feedstock, which is cleaned and dried to ensure consistent quality and efficiency.
- The prepared biomass undergoes thermal or hydrothermal treatment, breaking down complex organic molecules into simpler, liquid forms using heat and pressure.
- Catalysts are often used to enhance the reaction, increasing the yield and quality of the liquid products while reducing processing time and energy consumption.
- The resulting liquid biofuels are refined and purified to meet quality standards, making them suitable for use in energy production, transportation, and as chemical feedstocks.
