Filed:

Feb 22, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/032399

Inventors:

Andre Ditsch - Houston TX, US

Assignee:

KiOR, Inc. - Pasadena TX

International Classification:

C10L 1/00

US Classification:

585240, 585242, 585357, 585469, 585638, 585733, 44307, 44605, 44606

Abstract:

Disclosed is a process for biomass conversion in a catalytic pyrolysis reactor to convert such to liquid hydrocarbons which includes conditions which favor increased olefin production; wherein the olefins are then upgraded alone or with the produced bio-oil to fuel range hydrocarbons.

Appl. No.:

11/053678

Inventors:

T. Hatton - Sudbury MA, US
Daniel Wang - Newton MA, US
Paul Laibinis - Houston TX, US
Andre Ditsch - Cambridge MA, US

International Classification:

C08K003/18
C08K009/12

US Classification:

524431000, 523210000

Abstract:

The present invention relates to multi-polymer-coated magnetic nanoclusters, aqueous magnetic fluids comprising same, and methods of their use in separation procedures. The multi-polymer-coated magnetic nanoclusters comprise a super paramagnetic core, with a first polymer attached thereto, which does not render the first polymer-super paramagnetic particle complex colloidally stable, and a second polymer attached thereto, which stabilizes the complex of multi-polymer-coated magnetic nanoparticles. Methods of use comprise methods of separation, including separation of expressed protein from cells and viruses expressing the same.

Assignee:

KIOR, INC. - Pasadena TX

International Classification:

C10B 57/00

US Classification:

208 51, 201 25

Abstract:

A process and system for the conversion of biomass under high severity in the presence of a catalyst to produce a bio-oil, olefins, methane, and carbon monoxide (CO). The methane and/or CO can be used to generate hydrogen and the generated hydrogen can be used for hydrotreating the bio-oil. Additionally, or alternatively, a syngas stream, a carbon dioxide-rich stream, and/or a methane-rich stream can be recovered for use in the bio-oil production process and/or for use in a conventional petroleum refinery and/or petrochemical plant.
