044313000 | Carbohydrate containing | 8 |
20090025280 | METHOD OF HEAT GENERATION - A method of heat generation comprising reacting carbohydrate with a concentrated acid in a reaction vessel in an exothermic reaction, and removing the heat generated by the reaction through a heat exchange medium. | 01-29-2009 |
20100223839 | SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES FOR PRODUCING BIO-FUELS FROM LIGNOCELLULOSIC MATERIALS - A selective pyrolysis process for the production of bio-oils enriched in pyrolytic sugars and phenols and conversion of these compounds into second generation bio-fuels is disclosed herein. One embodiment of the process comprises pre-treating a biomass with superheated steam or gases in a selected range of temperatures, followed by fast pyrolysis using synthesis gas as a carrier, and a two-step condensation operation. The aqueous phase from the second condenser can then be reformed to produce hydrogen or can be gasified together with the charcoal to produce syngas. | 09-09-2010 |
20100251601 | ENHANCED PRODUCTION OF FATTY ACID DERIVATIVES - Genetically engineered cells and microorganisms are provided that produce products from the fatty acid biosynthetic pathway (fatty acid derivatives), as well as methods of their use. The products are particularly useful as biofuels. | 10-07-2010 |
20110154725 | AGENT FOR INCREASING THE OCTANE NUMBER OF A GASOLINE AUTOMOBILE FUEL - The invention relates to an agent for increasing the octane number of a gasoline automotive fuel, which agent is a combination of alcohol and a product of reaction between a carbonyl compound and a compound containing at least two hydroxyl groups enabling to form cycles with carbonyl compounds, or is the mixtures of the above mentioned products. In the preferred variant, mono- or oligosaccharides or diatomic, triatomic or polyatomic alcohols are used as the compounds containing at least two hydroxyl groups enabling to form cycles with carbonyl compounds. Pentoses, preferably xylose or arabinose or hexose, substantially glucose, and the mixtures thereof are used as the monosaccharides. Glycols, for example, ethylene glycol are used as diatomic alcohols, glycerin is used as triatomic alcohols and erythritols, for example, pentaerythritol are used as polyatomic alcohols. The compound relating to lower aldehydes or lower ketones, for example, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acetone, methylethylketone, diethylketone or cyclohexane are used as a carbonyl compound. The alcohols are in the form of aliphatic alcohols containing up to five carbon atoms, substantially ethanol. The inventive gasoline automotive fuel means a gasoline or an alcohol-gasoline composition. | 06-30-2011 |
20110232166 | LOW OXYGEN BIOMASS-DERIVED PYROLYSIS OILS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME - Methods are provided for producing low oxygen biomass-derived pyrolysis oil from carbonaceous biomass feedstock. In an embodiment, hydrogen gas is produced in the presence of a low temperature reforming catalyst from hemicellulose extracted from the carbonaceous biomass feedstock. The carbonaceous biomass feedstock, both whole and hemicellulose-depleted, is pyrolyzed in the presence of a pyrolysis upgrading catalyst to produce char and pyrolysis gases comprising oxygenated hydrocarbons and steam. A portion of the oxygenated hydrocarbons are converted into hydrocarbons. A residual portion of the oxygenated hydrocarbons of the pyrolysis gases is deoxygenated with the hydrogen and optionally, additional hydrogen gas. A condensable portion of the pyrolysis gases is condensed into low oxygen biomass-derived pyrolysis oil. | 09-29-2011 |
20110232167 | Biocell - Biofuel containing mixtures of isomers of alkyl glucose or their hydrogenation product and its production process from cellulose or starch using as a solvent a mixture of an alkyl alcohol, an ionic liquid immiscible with water and hydrochloric acid - Biofuel containing mixtures of isomers of alkyl glucose in the linear form, pyran or furan forms, as well as their hydrogenation products. | 09-29-2011 |
20120000116 | Biofuel containing levoglucosone and its production process from cellulose or starch using as a solvent a mixture of an ionic liquid and an alkyl alcohol - The product Biofuel is presented as a motor fuel consisting of levoglucosone pure or mixed with ethanol and or hydrocarbons. | 01-05-2012 |
20130074397 | Aldose-Ketose Transformation for Separation and/or Chemical Conversion of C6 and C5 Sugars from Biomass Materials - Systems for converting aldose sugars to ketose sugars and separating and/or concentrating these sugars using differences in the sugars' abilities to bind to specific affinity ligands are described. | 03-28-2013 |
