Fast microwave-assisted catalytic co-pyrolysis of microalgae and scum for bio-oil production

• We used a microwave-based system for catalytic co-pyrolysis of microalgae and scum. • Scum proved to be a good hydrogen supplier to increase the overall EHI of feedstock. • Temperature, catalyst to feed ratio, and microalgae to scum ratio were optimized. • The EHI value of feedstock needed to be a...

• We used a microwave-based system for catalytic co-pyrolysis of microalgae and scum. • Scum proved to be a good hydrogen supplier to increase the overall EHI of feedstock. • Temperature, catalyst to feed ratio, and microalgae to scum ratio were optimized. • The EHI value of feedstock needed to be above 0.7 to achieve the synergistic effect.
