 Hydrothermal liquefaction of biomass with molybdenum, aluminum, cobalt metal powder catalysts and evaluation of wastewater by fungus cultivationSalih Genel, Halil Durak, Emre Demirer Durak, Hasret Güneş and Yaşar Genel Renewable Energy, 2023, vol. 203, issue C, 20-32 Abstract: In this study, the Ammi visnaga plant was liquefied in the presence of Mo, Al and Co metal powder catalysts and without catalyst. Liquefaction trials were carried out at 225, 250, 275 and 300 °C reaction temperatures and reaction times of 0, 15, 30 and 45 min. The highest liquid product yield was determined as 42.31% in the experiment without catalyst and 39.42% with Mo catalyst at 300 °C. GC-MS, XRD, TOC, SEM-EDX and Elemental analysis methods were used to characterization of solid and liquid product. The highest energy values were determined as 25.34 MJ/kg for light oil and 29.69 MJ/kg for heavy oil with Co catalyst. In order to investigate the agricultural application potential, the effects of the wastewater obtained at the end of the trials on Trichoderma harzianum, Clonostachys rose and Rhizoctonia solani fungi were investigated. It was determined the bioagent fungi developed and pathogen growth was inhibited.
