Abstract:
A salt water slurry of Dunaliella parva, an halophilic alga, was treated to convert it into C6H6-sol. material, as rich as possible in C and H. Several features obsd. were: 25% of the combined C can be extd. under mild conditions of pressure (atm.) and temp.; the presence of CO as well as transition-metal salts has only minor effect on the conversion and the compn. of the product; and ≤75% of the combined C is converted by in-situ presence of C6H6 during the pyrolysis of the alga-salt water slurry.
