  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR REDUCING THE LEVEL OF ONE OR MORE IMPURITIES THAT ARE PRESENT IN A PRETREATED CELLULOSIC MATERIAL AND/OR DISTILLATE
    Publication number: 20190134528
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and systems for remediating one or more impurities (e.g., diacetyl) that are present in manufacturing an alcohol (e.g., ethanol) from cellulosic biomass. The methods and systems include reacting the one or more impurities with at least one treatment compound (e.g., an oxidizing agent, an alkali compound, or a mixture thereof) to form a reaction product that can be separated from the alcohol.
