Supercritical Ethanol Liquefaction of Swine Manure to Produce Bio-oils

Green Car Congress

Researchers from North Carolina A and T State University have converted swine manure to bio-oils by using ethanol as a solvent in an autoclave in the reaction temperature range of 240-360 °C without any catalyst. If this energy could be harvested, it would be equivalent to 21 billion gallons of gasoline (ThePigSite, 2004).
