Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for modifying polyester by a swelling agent combined with cutinase, belonging to the technical field of textile processing. According to the method, a phenol solution or an o-vanillin solution is used as the swelling agent to perform swelling treatment on the polyester, and combined with a Humicola insolens cutinase solution to perform hydrophilic modification on the polyester, which not only significantly improves the release amount of hydrolysates, but also reduces the fabric mass loss compared with the traditional chemical modification method.

Abstract: A bio-oil product is produced from biomass material by subjecting the biomass material to a first stage liquefaction process, where the first stage liquefaction process includes combining the biomass material with a co-solvent including methanol and water to form a first slurry mixture, providing the slurry mixture within a first liquefaction reactor and maintaining the first slurry mixture at a sufficient temperature and pressure so as to convert a portion of the biomass material into a first liquefied bio-oil product as well as form a first aqueous product and a first solid product, and separating the first liquefied bio-oil product from the aqueous and solid products.
