Abstract:

Hydrothermal liquefaction technology could handle high moisture content biomass without the need for high energy consumption links such as dehydration, and had good economic and industrial prospects. It had become a highly potential way of utilizing biomass energy. This article reviewed the mechanism of hydrothermal liquefaction of biomass components and summarized their application and production. This article retrospected the research process of biomass hydrothermal liquefaction, and mainly described the main component structures and hydrothermal liquefaction reaction mechanisms of biomass such as cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, lipids, and proteins, as well as the process flow of biomass hydrothermal liquefaction reactors. The existing problems of biomass hydrothermal liquefaction were clarified, and its development direction was prospected.

Key words: biomass, hydrothermal liquefaction, reaction mechanism, reactor
