    摘要: A process for fractionating a biomass comprises:
    (a) feeding a slurry comprising a biomass in a first fluid comprising water and a C 1 -C 5 alcohol, a second fluid comprising water and a C 1 -C 5 alcohol, and optionally a third fluid to a reactor, wherein the biomass, first fluid, second fluid, and optional third fluid form a reactant mixture;
    (b) maintaining the reactant mixture in the reactor at a first temperature and first pressure for a first time period, wherein the C 1 -C 5 alcohol is supercritical at the first temperature and first pressure, and wherein a reaction occurs;
    (c) quenching the reaction, wherein one or more reaction product mixtures comprising one or more fractionated products are produced; and
    (d) recovering one or more fractionated products from the one or more reaction product mixtures.

    摘要: A method for the continuous treatment of biomass is disclosed comprising:
    a pretreatment step, wherein said biomass is contacted with a first supercritical, near-critical, or sub-critical fluid to form a solid matrix and a first liquid fraction;
    wherein said first supercritical, near-critical, or sub-critical fluid comprises water and, optionally, CO 2 ; and wherein said first supercritical, near-critical, or sub-critical fluid is substantially free of C 1 -C 5 alcohol; and a hydrolysis step, wherein said solid matrix is contacted with a second supercritical or near-supercritical fluid to produce a second liquid fraction and a insoluble lignin-containing fraction;
    wherein said second supercritical or near-critical fluid comprises water and, optionally, CO 2 ; and wherein said second supercritical or near-critical fluid is substantially free of C 1 -C 5 alcohols.
