【 摘 要 】

With the respect to the depletion of fossil fuels, numerous approaches have been developed to mitigate the problem, among which production of chemicals from microalgae is a substantially new way to contribute to the economic viability. In the present study, one new and straightforward method for the conversion of microalgae into nitrogen-containing compounds such as 2-pyrrolidone under hydrothermal conditions was demonstrated. Furthermore, protein in microalgae was proved to be the source of N-containing compounds production.
