Due to fossil fuel depletion and environment problem, microalgae have been recognized as a promising alternative and renewable feedstock source for biofuels. Microalgae resources can be converted into valuable products by using different conversion technologies. Biodiesel production based on trans-esterification has been major interest for microalgae, but pyrolysis is another option in processing residual microalgae biomass for the production of useful materials and fuels. In this study, we did the pyrolysis of defatted microalgae biomass, Dunaliella tertiolecta LB999. The defatted cell of D.tertiolecta was converted to 52% of bio-char (solid), 32% of bio-oil (liquid) and non-condensed gases by slow pyrolysis. To determine characteristics of bio-char and bio-oil, elemental analysis and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) were conducted, respectively. |
