  • Method for processing vegetable biomass
    Patent number: 9976195
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an energy-efficient process for the treatment of plant biomass, particularly sugar cane, for the production of carbohydrates and ethanol, using physico-chemical and extraction techniques, as well as very simple milling configurations, thereby minimizing energy consumption during extraction of the cane juice. The biomass treated and obtained through this process, when subjected to a fermentation process for the production of ethanol, increases the yield of the process in comparison with that of traditional sugar cane. It can also be used for the production of enzymes, animal feedstuffs, and other useful products.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 30, 2010
    Date of Patent: May 22, 2018
    Assignee: CTC—Centro de Tecnologia Canavieira—S.A.
    Inventors: Jose Augusto Travassos Rios Tome, Dionisio Fabiano Pegoretti, Dionisio Morelli Filho, Oswaldo Godoy Neto, Jaime Fingerut, Celia Maria Araujo Galvao, Liliane Pires Andrade
