  • Reactions and methods for producing fuels
    Patent number: 11898114
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a composition that includes a compound having the structure R1O—(CH2O)n—R2 and a cetane number between about 65 and about 100, where n is between 1 and 10, inclusively, R1 includes a first alkyl group, and R2 includes a second alkyl group.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 9, 2021
    Date of Patent: February 13, 2024
    Assignee: Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC
    Inventors: Daniel Ruddy, Thomas Dwight Foust, Trenton John Wilke, Anh The To, Andrew Wolf Bartling, Martha Arellano-Trevino
  • CONTINUOUS PROCESSING OF LIGNIN FOR REDUCED SOLVENT USAGE IN REDUCTIVE CATALYTIC FRACTIONATION
    Publication number: 20220411454
    Abstract: Described herein are devices and methods for the efficient and economic generation of lignin monomers from biomass. The provided devices and methods utilize reductive catalytic fractionation with an organic solvent to extract high-quality lignin from biomass and cleave specific lignin bonds to generate valuable lignin monomers with a relatively narrow product slate. Advantageously, the devices and methods described herein utilize solvent recycling, multiple solvolysis chambers with multiple biomass beds and/or physical agitation (e.g., use of a screw extruder) to reduce the amount of solvent required and increase economic efficiency and monomer yield.
