Method For Heat Recovery From Pre-Treated Biomass
view source
US Patent:

8137955, Mar 20, 2012
Filed:

Oct 31, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/262282
Inventors:

Mark T. Holtzapple - College Station TX, US
Cesar B. Granda - College Station TX, US
Assignee:

The Texas A&M University System - College Station TX
International Classification:

C12P 1/00
B01J 19/00
B01J 10/00
C05F 11/08
C08B 30/00
US Classification:

435267, 210612, 422198, 422 60, 71 8, 71 9, 71 10, 127 34, 127 43, 127 44, 127 50
Abstract:

According to one embodiment, a method for heat treatment of a biomass includes allowing biomass in a pretreatment reactor to undergo a pre-treatment reaction process. The pre-treatment reaction process yields pretreated biomass along with soluble components. A first liquid having a first temperature is transported into the pretreatment reactor and the pretreated biomass elevates the first temperature to a second temperature. At least a portion of the soluble components are captured in the first liquid, and the at least a portion of the soluble components in the first liquid and the first liquid are removed from the pretreatment reactor. A second liquid having a third temperature is transported into the pretreatment reactor and the pretreated biomass elevates the third temperature to a fourth temperature, the fourth temperature being less than second temperature.

International Classification:

C01G 3/00
US Classification:

585240
Abstract:

A method of producing alcohols, hydrocarbons, or both from biomass by converting biomass into a carboxylic acid, reacting the carboxylic acid with an olefin to produce an ester and hydrogenolyzing the ester to produce alcohol. A method of producing hydrocarbons from biomass by converting at least a portion of the biomass into a carboxylic acid, a ketone, or an ammonium carboxylate salt, reacting at least one of a portion of the carboxylic acid, a portion of the ketone, or a portion of the ammonium carboxylate salt in an oligomerization reactor as at least part of a process that produces an oligomerization product and separating hydrocarbons from the oligomerization product.

International Classification:

D21C 3/02
US Classification:

162 41, 162 57, 162 90
Abstract:

According to one embodiment of the invention, a system for processing biomass includes a water-impermeable bottom liner, a gravel layer supported by the bottom liner, a drain pipe disposed within the gravel layer, a biomass input device operable to deliver biomass over the gravel layer to form a biomass pile, a lime input device operable to deliver lime to the biomass for pretreating the biomass, a distribution pipe elevated above the gravel layer, and a pump operable to circulate water through the biomass pile by delivering water to the distribution pipe and receiving water from the drain pipe after it has traveled through the biomass pile. According to another embodiment, a method for biomass pretreatment with alkali, conducted at ambient pressure for approximately 4-16 weeks at temperatures ranging from approximately 25 C. to 95 C. Biomass may be lignocellulosic biomass and may be rendered suitable for enzymatic digestion or pulp production.

International Classification:

C07C 27/04
C01G 3/00
US Classification:

568885, 568884, 585240
Abstract:

A method of producing alcohols, hydrocarbons, or both from biomass, the method including converting biomass into a carboxylic acid; reacting the carboxylic acid with an olefin to produce an ester; and hydrogenolyzing the ester to produce alcohol. The steps of reacting the carboxylic acid with an olefin to produce an ester, and hydrogenolyzing the ester to produce an alcohol, may both be carried out in the same reactor.
