Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is a highly effective technique for treating lignocellulosic biomass and organic waste of various shapes and moisture content. The solid product of HTC is friable, hydrophobic, and increased in mass and energy densification compared to the raw biomass. also solid product is similar regardless of the type of biomass used. A liquid solution of five carbon and six carbon sugars, along with various organic acids and 5-HMF, is also produced from HTC of lignocellulosic biomass. The gaseous phase product consists mostly of CO2. Solid product has the similar characteristics to low rank coal. The solid fuel characteristics of feedstock was increased with reaction temperature and time via HTC process. However, mass yield was decreased with increasing temperature and time. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the reaction temperature and time for HTC. The HTC process produces the solid product and a large amount of water. Thus the reuse or treatment techniques of liquid product is necessary. Therefore, potential of biological treatment of HTC liquid product was evaluated.
