    摘要: Digesting cellulosic biomass solids in the presence of a well-distributed slurry catalyst capable of activating molecular hydrogen may limit the amount of degradation products that form during digestion. Methods for digesting cellulosic biomass solids can comprise: providing cellulosic biomass solids and a slurry catalyst in a hydrothermal digestion unit, the slurry catalyst being capable of activating molecular hydrogen; distributing the slurry catalyst within the cellulosic biomass solids using upwardly directed fluid flow in the hydrothermal digestion unit; heating the cellulosic biomass solids in the hydrothermal digestion unit in the presence of the slurry catalyst, a digestion solvent, and molecular hydrogen, thereby forming a liquor phase comprising soluble carbohydrates; and performing a first catalytic reduction reaction on the soluble carbohydrates within the hydrothermal digestion unit, thereby at least partially forming a reaction product comprising a triol, a diol, a monohydric alcohol, or any combination thereof in the hydrothermal digestion unit.

    摘要: Methods and processes to fractionate and/or convert cellulosic material into accessible sugar and chemical intermediates is provided. A method of embodiments of the invention includes processing lignocellulosic biomass by mixing lignocellulosic biomass and glycerol to form a biomass slurry, and heating and shearing the biomass slurry at a temperature ranging from 100° C. to 300° C. for an amount of time to disrupt inter- or intra-polymer linkages of the biomass. The demonstrated swelling and maceration of a biomass material in the presence of a solvent at elevated temperatures and under shearing, provides a processing window to efficiently extract lignin and convert cellulosic material into useful sugars at high conversion rates.
