  • Transformation of biomass
    Patent number: 8735638
    Abstract: A method for processing biomass comprising heating an aqueous slurry comprising biomass, water and a phosphate catalyst in a pressure vessel at a temperature of about 150° C. to about 500° C. to produce a mixture comprising a dispersion of an organic phase and an aqueous phase.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 11, 2009
    Date of Patent: May 27, 2014
    Assignee: Aquaflow Bionomic Corporation Limited
    Inventors: Ian James Miller, Rhys Antony Batchelor
  • TRANSFORMATION OF BIOMASS
    Publication number: 20110245444
    Abstract: A method for processing biomass comprising heating an aqueous slurry comprising biomass, water and a phosphate catalyst in a pressure vessel at a temperature of about 150° C. to about 500° C. to produce a mixture comprising a dispersion of an organic phase and an aqueous phase.

  • CONCENTRATION OF ALGAL BIOMASS
    Publication number: 20110232344
    Abstract: A method for producing an algal biomass that readily separable from water, and preferably sterile, the method comprising heating an aqueous slurry of algae comprising a mixture of an algal biomass, optionally together with a suitable separation agent, and water in a pressure vessel at a temperature of about 140° C. to about 300° C. and a pressure sufficient to maintain the liquid phase. The method produces an algal biomass that is more readily separable from water and an aqueous phase containing organic chemicals.
