Effect of biomass feedstock composition on biochar properties produced through hydrothermal liquefaction

Bartlett, D.; Venter, R.; Marx, S. (EARET, 2018)

The effect that 6 different biomass feedstocks have on biochar was investigated. The biochar was produced through hydrothermal liquefaction at temperatures of 260˚C and 300˚C. The effect of temperature was also investigated. ...
Evaluation of bio-char based products as hydrotreating catalysts for the production of renewable fuel

Venter, R.J.; Booysen, J.G.; Marx, S.; Schabort, C. (2017)

Increasing demand for alternative fuel from fossil fuel exists which has led to the development of new technologies for the production of bio-fuels. One such technology involves the hydrotreatment of vegetable oils such ...
