Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an apparatus and method for processing lignocellulosic material. The apparatus includes a vessel having a fluid separation plate disposed therein, a fluid circulating system in fluid communication with the vessel and various component parts including nozzles, valves, lines and pumps as needed for discharging processed lignocellulosic materials.

Abstract: Provided is a solvent borne tire ballast composition which includes in a solvent, a low molecular weight lignin in an amount of at least 5 weight % (or optionally, 10 or 15 or 20 weight %) to 30 or 40 or 50 weight % of the solids, and hemicellulose in an amount of at least 0.1 weight % (or optionally, 0.2 or 0.5 or 1.0 or 2.0 or 5.0 weight %) to 20 weight % (or 10 or 15 or 18 or 25 or 30 weight %) of the solids.

Abstract: Provided is a solvent borne fertilizer composition. The fertilizer composition includes a low molecular weight lignin in an amount of 5 or about 5 to 25 or about 25 weight percent solids, a carbohydrate in an amount of 1 or about 1 to 20 or about 20 weight percent solids, wherein the lignin and carbohydrate form a lignin-carbohydrate mixture; and a urea moiety bonded to the lignin-carbohydrate mixture.
