Comparative liquefaction investigation of pine woodchips using water and tetralin as deoxygenation and hydrogenolysis agents

Key Points

• Liquefaction showed significant potential using tetralin as a hydrogenolysis agent, leading to efficient biomass conversion.
• The comparative analysis revealed that tetralin enhances the deoxygenation process, improving overall yield by 25% in pine woodchips.
• Assessment of liquefaction with both water and tetralin provided insights into their effectiveness in biomass processing.
• Findings suggest that implementing these agents may enable more sustainable methods for biomass utilization.
