  • SOLVOLYSIS OF BIOMASS AND STABILIZATION OF BIOMASS HYDROLYSATE
    Publication number: 20130019859
    Abstract: The present invention provides processes for deconstructing biomass using a solvent produced in a bioreforming reaction.
    Type: Application
    Filed: June 29, 2012
    Publication date: January 24, 2013
    Applicant: VIRENT, INC.

  • Methods for biomass Deconstruction and Purification
    Publication number: 20120323053
    Abstract: The present invention provides processes for deconstructing and purifying biomass using water. The method includes the steps of loading a reactor with biomass and water, establishing and maintaining a deconstruction temperature and pressure for a deconstruction period, flushing the reactor with water, and repeating these steps to produce a solid phase and a biomass hydrolysate.
