• Macroalgae-Derived Biofuel: A Review of Methods of Energy Extraction from Seaweed Biomass (2014, background): “Pre-treatment of macroalgae with water and acid may be employed to remove Mg, K, Na and Ca salts and other mineral matter by up to 90% [94] which can lead to high char levels, but conversely alkaline species can catalytically aid the steam gasification of macroalgae to H2 at temperatures above 700 °”
• Macroalgae in biofuel production (2015, unknown): “The amount of ash formed can be decreased by pre-treatment with acid washing prior to pyrolysis (Ross et al. 2009; Bae et al. 2011).”
