Supercritical water gasification of microalga Chlorella vulgaris over supported Ru

Catalytic gasification of microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris) was performed in supercritical water (SCW) at 385 °C and 26 MPa in a stainless steel batch reactor with various supported Ru as catalysts, and the gasification characteristics was examined in detail. With Ru/charcoal catalyst and at 4.8 wt s...
