  • Processing of biomass-derived oxygenates with particles comprising a coke deposit
    Patent number: 8574460
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for producing a mixture of CO and H2 (syn-gas). The method comprises contacting particles containing a coke deposit with oxygenated molecules derived from biomass. In a preferred embodiment the particles are catalyst particles. The method may be carried out in the regenerator of a conventional fluid catalyst cracking (FCC) unit.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 2, 2011
    Date of Patent: November 5, 2013
    Assignee: KiOR, Inc.
    Inventors: Paul O'Connor, Avelino Corma Camos, George W. Huber
  • Fluid catalytic cracking of oxygenated compounds
    Patent number: 8524960
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for fluid catalytic cracking of oxygenated hydrocarbon compounds such as glycerol and bio-oil. In the process the oxygenated hydrocarbon compounds are contacted with a fluid cracking catalyst material for a period of less than 3 seconds. In a preferred process a crude-oil derived material, such as VGO, is also contacted with the catalyst.

  • PRODUCTION OF LINEAR ALKANES BY HYDROTREATING MIXTURES OF TRIGLYCERIDES WITH VACUUM GASOIL
    Publication number: 20100228068
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for mild hydro-conversion of oxygenated hydrocarbon compounds. The oxygenated hydrocarbon compounds are contacted with a hydro-conversion catalyst material at a reaction pressure below 100 bar. Preferred oxygenated hydrocarbon compounds are those obtained by the liquefaction of biomass. In a specific embodiment the process is used for production of normal alkanes by hydrotreating mixtures of triglycerides (or compounds derived-from triglycerides, including free fatty acids) and vacuum gasoil.
