  • Method to produce, recover and convert furan derivatives from aqueous solutions using alkylphenol extraction
    Patent number: 8389749
    Abstract: Described is a catalytic process for converting biomass to furan derivatives (e.g., furfural, furfuryl alcohol, etc.) using a biphasic reactor containing a reactive aqueous phase and an organic extracting phase containing an alkylphenol. The process provides a cost-effective route for producing furfural, furfuryl alcohol, levulinic acid hydroxymethylfurfural, ?-valerolactone, and the like. The products formed are useful as value-added intermediates to produce polymers, as precursors to diesel fuel, and as fuel additives.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: March 5, 2013
    Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation
    Inventors: James Dumesic, David Alonso, Jesse Bond, Thatcher Root, Mei Chia
  • Method to produce and recover levulinic acid and/or gamma-valerolactone from aqueous solutions using alkylphenols
    Patent number: 8389761
    Abstract: A method to produce levulinic acid (LA) and ?-valerolactone (GVL) from biomass-derived cellulose by selective extraction of LA by alkylphenol (AP) and hydrogenation of LA, in which mineral acid used in the method is recycled and the final concentration of GVL is increased by successive extraction/hydrogenation steps to allow for effective separation by distillation.
