This study followed a quantitative approach, with the purpose of converting municipal sewage to valuable bio‐oils. The sewage sludge was subjected to hydrothermal liquefaction in 60 mL stainless steel batch reactors, where the effects of temperature, solvent composition and solvent content were investigated, and all the other process parameters wer...

... In response to the inadequacy of water and organic solvents alone in the biomass liquefaction process, researchers have developed many co-solvent systems of water/organic solvents and mixtures of different organic solvents. Studies have found that some mixed solvents show synergistic effects on biomass liquefaction [68][69][70]113], which can increase the bio-oil yield. ...
