Hydrothermal liquefaction of cornelian cherry stones for bio-oil production.

Hydrothermal liquefaction of cornelian cherry stones, fruit processing wastes, was performed at 200, 250 and 300°C with residence times of 0, 15, and 30min. The highest total bio-oil yield was obtained at both 250 and 300°C for the shortest residence time (0min) and found to be 28wt.%.
