  • Catalytic funneling of phenolics
    Patent number: 11851398
    Abstract: In general, present invention concerns an integrated wood-to-xylochemicals biorefinery, enabling production of renewable phenol, phenolic oligomers, propylene, and carbohydrate pulp from lignocellulosic biomass.
    Type: Grant

  • FRACTIONATION AND DEPOLYMERISATION OF LIGNOCELLULOSIC MATERIAL
    Publication number: 20210269616
    Abstract: Lignocellulose constitutes an alluring renewable feedstock for the production of bio-based chemicals. This contribution demonstrates for the first time a chemocatalytic biorefinery concept that produces three separate product fractions of valuable product families at high yield and purity from lignocellulosic biomass; the product families, merely comprising of stable products, are (i) a lignin oil enriched with high contents of lignin-derived (mono)phenolics, (ii) essentially humin (furanic oligomers)-free hemicellulose-derived polyols, and (iii) a cellulose pulp. This is achieved by processing biomass in a close to equivolumetric mixture of an alcohol (such as n-butanol) and water at elevated temperature, in the presence of a metal catalyst and hydrogen.
