Study on the Pyrolysis Characteristics of Microalgae by Microwave Oven

Abstract:

In this paper, the pyrolysis characteristics of Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris) (a kind of microalgae) under different microwave power and pyrolysis atmosphere are studied by microwave oven. The results show that under N₂ atmosphere, a power of 1500W is required for optimal oil production, 2250W for optimal gas production and 750W for optimal residue. Under CO₂ atmosphere, a power of 2250W is required for maximum oil production, 1500W for maximum gas production and 750W for maximum residue.
