One pot biodiesel production from wet Chlorella vulgaris using supercritical methanol with oxide catalysts

The effect of heterogeneous catalyst in the supercritical methanol reaction of wet microalgae (64 wt% moisture content), Chlorella vulgaris, was examined in a batch operation system at 385°C for 60 minutes. The reaction products were separated into gas, liquid and solid products while the liquid pro...
