The significant growth of the global population, as well as the increase in energy demand and the limitations of energy generation from fossil fuels, have become a serious challenge over the world. To address these challenges, renewable energies like biofuels are recently found as a proper alternative to conventional fuels. Although biofuel production by using various techniques such as hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is considered one of the most promising methods to provide energy, the challenges correlated to its progression and development are still striking. In this investigation, the HTL method was employed to produce biofuel from municipal solid waste (MSW). In this regard, the effect of various parameters such as temperature, reaction time and waste-to-water ratio on mass and energy yield were assessed. It should be stressed that the optimization of biofuel production has been accomplished by the Box-Behnken method using Design Expert 8 software. Based on the results, biofuel production has an upward trend by increasing temperature to 364.57 °C and reaction time to 88.23 min Whereas, there is an inverse relationship between the biofuel waste-to-waterater ratio, in both the context of mass and energy yield.
全球人口的显著增长，以及能源需求的增加和化石燃料发电的局限性，已成为全世界的严重挑战。为了应对这些挑战，生物燃料等可再生能源最近被发现是传统燃料的合适替代品。尽管使用水热液化 (HTL) 等各种技术生产生物燃料被认为是提供能源的最有前途的方法之一，但与其发展相关的挑战仍然很突出。在这项研究中，采用 HTL 方法从城市固体废物 (MSW) 中生产生物燃料。在这方面，评估了温度、反应时间和固液比等各种参数对质量和能量产率的影响。值得强调的是，通过使用 Design Expert 8 软件的 Box-Behnken 方法优化了生物燃料的生产。根据结果，通过将温度提高到 364.57°C 和反应时间提高到 88.23 分钟，生物燃料的产量呈上升趋势，而在质量和能量产率方面，生物燃料与水的固液比呈反比关系。
