  • Biomass conversion
    Patent number: 12065418
    Abstract: Processes and reactor systems for biomass conversion are described. A continuous process for the conversion of carbohydrate-containing feed material into furanic compounds comprises a reaction step comprising subjecting said feed material to reaction conditions in a reaction medium comprising two immiscible liquid phases, including a reactive phase and an extractive phase, and a Brønsted acid as catalyst, wherein the reaction medium comprises a solid component comprising at least a part of a carbohydrate-containing fraction of said feed material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 26, 2021
    Date of Patent: August 20, 2024
    Assignee: Nederlandse Organisatie voor toegepast-natuurwetenschappelijk onderzoek TNO
