This data set includes two databases: 1. The data collected from the literature review from past experiments done by submitting macroalgae to hydrothermal carbonization 2. The analyitcal data created from the 13 hydrothermal carbonization runs. The hydrochar values and the Fucus vesiculosus values are shared. In both data bases mass fractions and mass recoveries in hydrochars for nutrients, heavy metals and other elements are shown. In this study Brown macroalgae, Fucus vesiculosus, was submitted to hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) as a volume-reduction and stabilization method to produce hydrochars and the resulting hydrochars (HCs)s were evaluated for their feasibility to be used as fertilizers and/or soil amendments. A full factorial design was used to vary three identify process parameter relationships with mass fractions?,? the behavior of inorganic elements distribution and their compliance with soil amendment and fertilizer regulation limit values. HTC process parameters:: varied in temperature (160, 190, 220°C), solid content (20, 35%) and process water (PW) recirculation (with and without) were assessed in this study.
