Abstract
In a recent paper by Bach et al. (Fast hydrothermal liquefaction of a Norwegian macro-alga: Screening tests, doi:10.1016/j.algal.2014.05.009) [1] up to 79% bio-oil yield is reported from the hydrothermal liquefaction of an aqueous slurry of Laminaria saccharina (1:10 seaweed: water). This surprising result is attributed to the effects of rapid heating. However, it appears that there are significant mass balance errors in the data as reported and that the claimed high yield cannot be accepted as reliable.
