Patent number: 9770698Abstract: This specification discloses an operational continuous process to convert lignin as found in ligno-cellulosic biomass before or after converting at least some of the carbohydrates. The continuous process has been demonstrated to create a slurry comprised of lignin, raise the slurry comprised of lignin to ultra-high pressure, deoxygenate the lignin in a lignin conversion reactor over a catalyst which is not a fixed bed without producing char. The conversion products of the carbohydrates or lignin can be further processed into polyester intermediates for use in polyester preforms and bottles.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2015Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: Biochemtex S.p.A.Inventors: Dan Gastaldo, Steven Ryba, Aaron Murray, Guliz Arf Elliott

Publication number: 20140339467Abstract: Disclosed in this specification is a lignin composition having unique characteristics relative to its characteristics as found in its natural environment. The lignin has been modified so that more lignin decomposes at the lower lignin decomposition temperature than decomposes at the higher lignin decomposition temperature and the lignin composition has a very high surface area relative to naturally occurring lignin compositions.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2012Publication date: November 20, 2014Inventors: Guliz Arf Elliott, Danilo De Faveri, Francesco Cherchi, Simone Ferrero, Paolo Torre
