Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to compositions and methods of simultaneously making two unique biointermediates from a single lignocellulosic biomass feedstock, including a hydrophobic biohydrocarbon and a water insoluble hydrophilic cellulosic biopolymer for use in the production of renewable fuels, chemicals, and other carbon neutral materials commonly derived from petroleum and other fossil resources.
Claims21
A hydrophobic biohydrocarbon comprising a mixture of substantially hydrophobic hydrocarbons derived from lignocellulosic biomass and further comprising hydrophobic phenols, hydrophobic organic furans, hydrophobic oleoresins, and hydrophobic esters.
A hydrophobic biohydrocarbon derived from lignocellulosic biomass comprising a mixture of substantially hydrophobic hydrocarbons further comprising hydrophobic phenols, hydrophobic organic furans, hydrophobic oleoresins, and hydrophobic esters, wherein the hydrophobic biohydrocarbon has a carbon content in a range of about 50% to about 90% by weight, an oxygen content of less than 40% by weight, a hydrogen content in a range of about 4% to about 14% by weight, an energy content of more than 11,000 btu per pound and less than 25,000 btu per pound, a water content less than 10%, and a water-soluble and hydrophilic compound content less than 10% by weight.
A hydrophobic biohydrocarbon comprising a mixture of substantially hydrophobic hydrocarbons derived from lignocellulosic biomass further comprising hydrophobic phenols, hydrophobic organic furans, hydrophobic oleoresins, and hydrophobic esters, wherein the hydrophobic biohydrocarbon has a carbon content of 50% by weight, an oxygen content of 30% by weight, a hydrogen content of 4%, an energy content of 11,000 btu per pound, a water content of 6%, and a water-soluble and hydrophilic compound content of 10% by weight.
