    Abstract: Digestion of cellulosic biomass solids may be complicated by lignin release therefrom, which can produce a highly viscous phenolics liquid phase comprising lignin polymer. Systems for processing a phenolics liquid phase comprising lignin polymer may comprise: a hydrothermal digestion unit; a viscosity measurement device within the hydrothermal digestion unit or in flow communication with the hydrothermal digestion unit; a temperature control device within the hydrothermal digestion unit or in flow communication with the hydrothermal digestion unit; and a processing device communicatively coupled to the viscosity measurement device and the temperature control device, the processing device being configured to actuate the temperature control device if the viscosity of a fluid phase comprising lignin exceeds a threshold value in the biomass conversion system.

    Abstract: A process for the production of furfural from a biphasic composition including furfural, an organic solvent and soluble organic debris. The said process includes subjecting the biphasic composition to a liquid-liquid separation step to provide an organic phase and an aqueous phase. The organic phase includes the organic solvent, a first portion of the furfural and a first portion of soluble organic debris. The aqueous phase includes a remainder portion of the furfural and a remainder portion of soluble organic debris. The organic phase is subjected to a distillation step to provide a furfural stream and an organic solvent stream including the organic solvent and the first portion of the soluble organic debris. The organic solvent stream is conveyed to an adsorption unit to adsorb a second portion of the soluble organic debris, forming an organic debris-depleted recycle stream.

    Abstract: Separation of a product of digestion of cellulosic biomass solids may be challenging due to the various components contained therein. Methods and systems for processing cellulosic biomass, particularly a reaction product of a hydrothermal reaction containing lignin-derived products, such as phenolics, comprise providing the reaction product to a separation zone comprising a liquid-liquid extraction unit. The liquid-liquid extraction unit can provide an aqueous portion and a non-aqueous portion, where these portions can be separated into various fractions individually. For example, desirable compounds in the aqueous portion and non-aqueous portion can be recovered from the portions individually and optionally combined to be further processed into a fuels product. Heavier components in the aqueous portion and non-aqueous portion can be recovered from the portions individually and used in the process, such as phenolics that can be used as a digestion solvent.
