Herein, α-cellulose, d-xylose, and lignin, which are major lignocellulosic biomass constituents, are subject to being liquefied in scEtOH (supercritical ethanol). Biomass conversion, biocrude yield, gas composition and energy content resulting from the liquefaction are analyzed. When cellulose...

This study investigates the influence of heating and cooling rate on liquefaction of lignocellulosic biomass in subH2O (subcritical water) or in scEtOH (supercritical ethanol), in dependency of final reaction temperatures (250–350 °C) and residence times (1–40 min). The heating rate has...

In this study, the influence of various physical process parameters on the liquefaction of lignocellulosic biomass (pine wood) in supercritical ethanol was investigated. The parameters include reaction temperature (280–400 °C), initial nitrogen pressure (0.4–7.5 MPa), reaction time...
