A Mini Review on Pyrolysis of Natural Algae for Bio-Fuel and Chemicals

The disposal and use of natural algae have recently been the subject of great interest, due to increasing concern for environmental protection and resource utilization. In this paper, a mini review of recent research on the pyrolysis of natural algae, especially the algae from water blooms, is prese...
