Corrosion Assessment and Mechanisms of Materials in Pre-hydrolysis and Hydrothermal Liquefaction Biorefining Systems
DownloadFall 2022
Advanced biomass conversion technologies, including hot dilute acidic pre-hydrolysis and hydrothermal liquefaction, have been developed for the generation of renewable bioenergy products and biochemicals from existing biomass resources and biowastes. However, the deployment of the technologies is...

Corrosivity and Thermal Stability of Biocrude Oil for Co-Processing in FCC Feedlines: An Investigation and Risk Assessment
DownloadSpring 2023
Fast pyrolysis bio-oil is a promising renewable energy source derived from biomass. However, its high corrosivity and poor thermal stability have limited its widespread use as a drop-in fuel. One promising method for transforming low-quality biocrudes into drop-in fuels is co-processing with...
