    摘要: The present invention is directed to a process for preparing a catalyst which comprises combining catalyst components or precursors thereof in an aqueous medium to form a catalyst precursor mixture, feeding the mixture to a shaping apparatus, and shaping the mixture to form particles wherein just before the shaping step the mixture is destabilized. It was found that with this process catalysts can be prepared which have both a good attrition resistance and a high accessibility. The invention further relates to catalysts obtainable by this process.

    摘要: A method for reducing the mechanical strength of solid biomass material, in particular lignocellulosic biomass, comprises mixing the solid biomass material with an inorganic material and heating the solid biomass material mixture to a toasting temperature in the range of 105° C. to 140° C. during an exposure time of from 1 minute to 12 hours. Before or after the heat treatment, which is referred to as “toasting”, the biomass material mixture is subject to flash heating. The treatment significantly reduces the mechanical energy required for reducing the particle size of the solid biomass material and is suitable as a pretreatment prior to a conversion reaction of the solid biomass material.
