The microwave pyrolysis system was used to study the effects of mixed additives on the microwave pyrolysis of Dunaliella salina. The mixed additive is a mixture of SiC and Na
2 CO3 . The different weights of addition (5%, 10%, and 20%) of mixed additives, different mixing ratios (SiC:Na2 CO3 = 0:10, 3:7, 5:5, and 6:4), and different kinds of additives (single additive and mixed additive) were studied. According to the findings, when the catalyst was 5% Na2 CO3 , the total weight loss (Mt ) was maximum. The minimum Mt occurred at the 5% SiC group; when the mixed additive weight of addition was 10% and the mixing ratio of SiC:Na2 CO3 = 5:5, the average weight loss rate (Rv ) and weight loss rate for the first peak (Rp1 ) were maximum, and the time corresponding to the first peak (tp1 ) was minimum. Besides, SiC and Na2 CO3 had a cooperative action when the mixed additive weight of addition was 10% and the mixing ratio of SiC:Na2 CO3 = 5:5. For the total electricity consumption in microwave pyrolysis and oil and gas production per unit of electricity consumption, the mixed additive group with the weight of addition was 10% and the mixing ratio of SiC:Na2 CO3 = 5:5 was better.
