Abstract
A composition comprising an inorganic particulate material adapted to convert a biomass material into hydrolysis products is provided. The inorganic particulate material comprises at least 0.1 wt. % of at least one impurity in its crystal structure based on the total weight of the inorganic particulate material. Methods of convert a biomass material into hydrolysis products using the compositions comprising an inorganic particulate material are also provided.

A composition comprising:
- an inorganic particulate material adapted to convert a biomass material into hydrolysis products,
- wherein the inorganic particulate material comprises at least 0.1 wt. % of at least one impurity in its crystal structure based on the total weight of the inorganic particulate material.
A method for converting a biomass material into hydrolysis products comprising:
- contacting the biomass material with an inorganic particulate material to form a feed;
- and
- applying energy to the feed in an amount less than or equal to 50,000 kWh/DUST hydrolysis products to convert the biomass material to hydrolysis products.
