| Research Abstract |
With sub/supercritical fluid characteristics, solid biomass was treated with phenols in sub/supercritical conditions to achieve biochemicals and biofuels. In addition, plant oils as liquid biomass were treated with methyl acetate and dimethyl carbonate in their supercritical state to obtain useful biochemicals such as triacetine, glycerol carbonate and citramalic acid as by-products of biodiesel(fatty acid methyl esters). Consequently, it was clarified that supercritical fluid technology can be a useful tool for biorefinery.
