The production of acetic acid from microalgae under hydrothermal conditions

Microalgae for carbon dioxide mitigation was applied to the production of acetic acid under hydrothermal conditions with H<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>2</SUB> oxidant. Results showed that acetic acid was obtained with a good yield of 14.9% based on a carbon base at 300<SUP>o</SUP>C for 80s with 100% H<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>2</SUB> supply. This result should be helpful to facilitate studies for developing a new green and sustainable process in order to produce acetic acid from microalgae, which are the fastest growing sunlight-driven cell factories. These results show that it is possible to develop a process for conversion of microalgae biomass into acetic acid.
