Integrated Valorization of Macroalgae in a Recyclable Ionic Liquid: Hydrothermal Production of Formic and Levulinic Acids with Product Recovery and Biohydrogen Generation
Marine macroalgae are drawing growing interest as underutilized feedstocks for chemicals and fuels and as high-productivity, carbon-assimilating biomass that could contribute to carbon capture and sequestration strategies. Here, we investigate an ionic-liquid-assisted hydrothermal conversion of Gracilaria verrucosa (...
