Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods for production of multiple biofuels through thermal fractionation of biomass feedstocks are described.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of pyrolytic thermal fractionation of microalgae biomass comprising a protein component, a carbohydrate component, and a triglyceride component, comprising: a) heating the microalgae biomass to a first volatilization temperature of a first component comprising protein materials, and holding said first volatilization temperature of the heated microalgae biomass constant for a first period of time until no further mass loss of said first component occ…
