Process for converting a lignocellulosic biomass

Abstract

A process for converting a lignocellulosic biomass comprising a) converting a lignocellulosic biomass into a fuel and producing an aqueous waste stream comprising at least one dissolved organic material and at least one dissolved sulfur-containing compound, wherein the aqueous waste stream has a sulfur content of more than 400 parts per million by weight, relative to the weight of the aqueous waste stream; and b) treating the aqueous waste stream, said treating comprises anaerobic digestion of a mixture comprising a first aqueous feed comprising the aqueous waste stream and a second aqueous feed, wherein the mixture has a sulfur content of at most 400 parts per million by weight, relative to the weight of the mixture.
