We report that biofuels are particularly attractive and play an increasingly important role in sustainable energy. However, biofuels originating from lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) are extremely challenging because of their low carbon content, low stability, and high oxygen content. This work evaluates the supercritical methanol (scMeOH) co-liquefaction of rice straw and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) at temperature range of 240-340 °C for 0-2 h, to obtain hydrocarbons (HCs)-rich oil and carbon-rich solid product. Results show that reaction temperature dominated the yield and properties of products, but not the holding time. Among parameters tested, 30.07 wt% oil yield with 75.79% HCs content and 33.05 wt% oil yield with 70.91% HCs content were obtained at 300 °C for 1 h and 1.5 h, respectively. Simultaneously, the remaining solid products were still as high as 53.85 wt% with a carbon content of 79.59% and 48.28 wt% with carbon content of 81.34% under 300 °C for 1 h and 1.5 h, respectively. Ultimate analysis, FT-IR, TGA, and SEM show that solid products could be used as sustainable carbon resources, and solid fuel rather than soil amendment because of risk of micro plastic or adsorbent due to smooth surface without pores.
