  • 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.
