Abstract

Abstract Liquid fuel was directly produced from ethanol fermentation stillage. When stillage was treated with sodium carbonate under pressure of nitrogen at 300 °C, oily products separable from an aqueous phase were obtained. The yield of heavy oil having a heating value of 35 MJ/kg attained about 50% and the energy recovery of heavy oil exceeded 75% of starting material.
