Abstract
Lignocellulosic starting materials can be converted into an organic liquefaction product in a hydroliquefaction process by subjecting a mixture of a lignocellulosic starting material, an amorphous and unsupported sulfided nickel-molybdenum catalyst and a co-feed, to not less than a stoichiometric amount of hydrogen, elevated pressure and a temperature within the range of from 270° C. and up to but not including 350° C.
Claims18
A process for the conversion of lignocellulosic starting materials into an organic liquefaction product characterized in that in a first hydroprocessing step lignocellulosic starting material, an amorphous and unsupported sulfided nickel-molybdenum catalyst and a co-feed, are mixed, thereby obtaining a mixture, and said mixture being subjected to not less than a stoichiometric amount of hydrogen, an elevated pressure and a temperature within the range from 270° C. and up to but not including 350° C., thereby producing an organic liquefaction product.
