20130245252 | SIMULTANEOUS HYDROLYSIS AND HYDROGENATION OF CELLULOSE - A process is disclosed for conversion of cellulose in an Ionic Liquid medium. The process is characterized in that a cellulose-containing feedstock and an Ionic Liquid are mixed at a temperature below 80 ° C. The mixture is heated to a conversion temperature in the range of 80 ° C. to 220 ° C. under a hydrogen atmosphere. The presence of hydrogen during the heating step significantly reduces the formation of degradation products. | 09-19-2013 |
20140039208 | PROCESS FOR CONVERTING POLYSACCHARIDES IN AN INORGANIC MOLTEN SALT HYDRATE - A process is disclosed for converting polysaccharides to platform chemicals. The process comprises dissolving the polysaccharides in a inorganic molten salt hydrate, converting the polysaccharides to monosaccharides, and converting the monosaccharides to platform chemicals that are easily separable from the inorganic molten salt hydrate. | 02-06-2014 |
20140135510 | PROCESS FOR CONVERTING POLYSACCHARIDES IN AN INORGANIC MOLTEN SALT HYDRATE - A process is disclosed for converting a polysaccharide-containing biomass material to platform chemicals. | 05-15-2014 |
20140331992 | PROCESS FOR RECOVERING SACCHARIDES FROM CELLULOSE HYDROLYSIS REACTION MIXTURE - A method is disclosed for recovering saccharide monomers and/or oligomers from a reaction mixture. The reaction mixture may further comprise water and a molten salt hydrate. | 11-13-2014 |
20140360493 | PROCESS FOR THE CONVERSION OF CELLULOSE IN HYDRATED MOLTEN SALTS - A process for converting cellulose to glucose, said process comprising the steps of: providing a hydrated molten salt; contacting the hydrated molten salt with a cellulose-containing material to form dissolved glucose; removing the dissolved glucose from the hydrated molten salt. | 12-11-2014 |
