| Abstract | Food waste is an important wasted resource needs to be utilized for fuel production towards achieving circular economy. Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), a fast and energy efficient method of transforming wet food waste to bio-oil whose yield depends on catalyst. In the present study hierarchical Fe-Co-ZSM-5 was synthesized by steam assisted crystallization, characterized and evaluated for the HTL of model food waste. Highest bio-oil yield of 41.8% was obtained at 250 degrees C, 80 bar using 1 g of hierarchical Fe-Co-ZSM-5 catalyst of crystallinity of 84% for 2 h. Hierarchical Fe-Co-ZSM-5 catalyst is less prone to deactivation compared to conventional microporous ZSM-5 catalyst. Copyright (c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
