  • Patent number: 11198702
    Abstract: A method for separating hydrolysis product of biomass is provided. The method includes providing a mixture solution containing a hydrolysis product of biomass and a divalent metal salt, adjusting the pH value of the mixture solution to between 1-4.6, and performing a filtering procedure on the mixture solution using a nanofiltration membrane to obtain a concentrated solution and a filtrate, wherein the concentrated solution mainly includes the hydrolysis product of biomass and the filtrate mainly includes the divalent metal salt.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 3, 2017
    Date of Patent: December 14, 2021
    Assignee: INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH INSTITUTE

  • Patent number: 9822420
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of separating carbohydrate, including: mixing formic acid with heteropoly acid, chloride or bromide of lithium, magnesium, calcium, zinc, or iron, or combinations thereof to form a mixing liquid. The method also includes dissolving a cellulose biomass by the mixing liquid to form a solution, mixing water and the solution to hydrolyze the cellulose biomass for forming a carbohydrate solution, and mixing an extractant and the carbohydrate solution to extract the formic acid out of the carbohydrate solution. The heteropoly acid, the chloride or bromide of lithium, magnesium, calcium, zinc, or iron, or combinations thereof in the carbohydrate solution is separated out of the carbohydrate solution by ion exclusion chromatography separation to obtain a carbohydrate.

  • Patent number: 7476364
    Abstract: A thermal regenerative granular-moving bed apparatus for a gas de-pollutant process includes a plurality of recycling granular material, a heat-and-clean unit, a heat-recycling unit, and a granular material-cleaning unit. The heat-and-clean unit heats the granular material to further heat a polluted gas, de-pollutes the gas, and detains pollutants or particles from the de-polluting. The heat-recycling unit constructed on top of the heat-and-clean unit has the hot up-flowing de-polluted gas heat-exchange with the down-flowing cold granular material. The granular material-cleaning unit transports the granular material from a lower-end of the heat-and-clean unit to an upper end of the heat-recycling unit and re-activates the granular material during the transportation.
