Abstract: The present disclosure refers to a process of obtaining a biocrude from biomass, where said process comprises the solvothermal liquefaction of the biomass in the presence of a mixture of solvents, until obtaining a gaseous phase, a solid phase, an aqueous liquid phase and an organic liquid phase comprising the biocrude. Wherein the mixture of solvents comprises between 0.5% w/w to 99.5% w/w of water and at least one solvent; and wherein the solvent is selected from alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, or precursors thereof under the processing conditions. The process described herein allows the use of biomass for the production of renewable fuels, as well as obtaining a biocrude with a yield greater than or equal to 30%, with a calorific value between 20 and 35 MJ/Kg and with a sulfur percentage lower than 1% w/w.

Abstract: A formulation and method for obtaining ultra-high performance concretes, which provide a concrete with good mechanical properties of, inter alia, traction, compression, deformation, durability, ductility and toughness, with reduced related costs.
Abstract: The present invention corresponds to a cement formulation based on sulfoaluminate comprising a specific Ye'elimite crystal proportion having enhanced mechanical resistance, setting and low CO2 emission features. A concrete obtained when mixing said formulation with water and gypsum is further described, having a superior performance at initial ages compared to concrete obtained from Portland cement.
