In the present study, the biomass was converted into liquid and solid residues by using hydrothermal liquefaction method at 250, 300 and 350°C with (FeCl3, NaOH) and without catalyst. The resultant products were examined using GC-MS, FT-IR, 1H NMR, SEM, and elemental anal. methods. According to the performed analyses, the highest liquid product yield (total bio-oil) was found to be 38.08% at 300°C by using FeCl3 as catalyst. In the experiments carried out at 350°C, the highest HHV value was found to be 32.35 MJ kg-1 by using NaOH catalyst. The energy values of products obtained at the end of experiments were compared to the values obtained from pyrolysis and supercritical liquefaction method, and it was determined that the liquid products having higher level of energy value were achieved by using hydrothermal liquefaction method. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenethanol (cas: 2380-78-1Synthetic Route of C9H12O3).
4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenethanol (cas: 2380-78-1) belongs to ethers. Carboxylic acid esters of low molecular weight are colourless, volatile liquids with pleasant odours, slightly soluble in water. Because of their lack of hydrogen-bond-donating ability, esters do not self-associate. Consequently, esters are more volatile than carboxylic acids of similar molecular weight.Synthetic Route of C9H12O3
