Abstract
A method for producing biomass derived liquid, comprises: feeding biomass, a solvent and a catalyst into a batch reactor, and heating and mixing in the batch reactor a compound comprising the biomass, solvent, and catalyst. The solvent is glycerol and wherein feeding the solvent into the batch reactor is performed through electrostatic atomization.
Claims9
A method for producing biomass derived liquid, comprising:
- feeding biomass, a solvent and a catalyst into a batch reactor;
- and
- heating and mixing in said batch reactor a compound mixture comprising said biomass, said solvent and said catalyst, thereby producing the biomass derived liquid in the batch reactor,
- wherein the solvent is glycerol and wherein feeding the solvent into the batch reactor is performed through electrostatic atomization, and
- wherein the solvent is fed into an internal reactor core of the batch reactor through an electrostatic nozzle located in the internal reactor core.
