  • SIMULTANEOUS HYDROLYSIS AND HYDROGENATION OF CELLULOSE
    Publication number: 20130245252
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for conversion of cellulose in an Ionic Liquid medium. The process is characterized in that a cellulose-containing feedstock and an Ionic Liquid are mixed at a temperature below 80 ° C. The mixture is heated to a conversion temperature in the range of 80 ° C. to 220 ° C. under a hydrogen atmosphere. The presence of hydrogen during the heating step significantly reduces the formation of degradation products.

  • Simultaneous Catalytic Conversion of Cellulose and Lignin to a Liquid Fuel in an Ionic Liquid
    Publication number: 20120330074
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for converting lignocellulosic material to liquid fuels. In the process the cellulose is dissolved in an Ionic Liquid medium. The conversion process may comprise pyrolysis, thermal cracking, hydrocracking, catalytic cracking, hydrotreatment, or a combination thereof. The conversion reaction is carried out in the presence of lignin. The lignin is at least partially converted in the process. The Ionic Liquid medium preferably is an inorganic molten salt hydrate.
