Problems solved by technology

[0007] Biomass handling as feedstock is challenging due to the need for a direct combination of biomass hydrolysis to release sugars and catalytic hydrogenation / hydrogenolysis / hydrodeoxygenation of sugars to prevent breakdown into heavy fractions (caramel or tar)
In addition, nitrogen and sulfur compounds from biomass feed can poison hydrogenation / hydrogenolysis / hydrodeoxygenation catalysts (such as Pt / Re catalysts) and reduce the activity of the catalysts

preparation example Construction

[0062] In the preparation of hydrogenolysis catalysts, the metal component of the catalyst composition may be incorporated into the support material by any suitable method or device which provides a support material loaded with an active metal precursor, whereby the composition comprises Carrier materials and metal components. One method of incorporating the metal component into the support material includes, for example, co-milling the support material with the active metal or metal precursor to produce a co-milled mixture of the two components. Alternatively, another method includes co-precipitating the support material and the metal component to form a co-precipitated mixture of the support material and the metal component. Alternatively, in a preferred method, the support material is impregnated with the metal component using any of the known impregnation methods such as incipient wetness to incorporate the metal component into the support material.

Embodiment 1

[0100] Example 1: Ammonia Buffer

[0101] A 75 ml Parr 5000 reactor was charged with 30.21 grams of 50 wt% glycerol in deionized water, 0.202 grams of ammonium carbonate buffer, and 0.304 grams of catalyst (DC-2534 containing 1-10% cobalt oxide on alumina and molybdenum trioxide (up to 30 wt%), and less than 2% nickel), the catalyst was obtained from Criterion Catalyst & Technologies L.P. and sulfided by the method described in Example 5 of US2010 / 0236988.

[0102] The reactor was pressurized to 53 bar with hydrogen, and the reactor was heated to 250° C. for 5 hours. A final pH of 5.6 was obtained, indicating effective buffering of acetic acid and other acids formed as reaction by-products.

[0103] The reactor product was analyzed by gas chromatography using a 60mx0.32mm ID DB-5 column with 1 μm thickness, 50:1 split ratio, 2 mL / min helium flow, and column oven held at 40° C. for 8 minutes, Afterwards, it was raised to 285°C at 10°C / min, and the holding time was 53.5 minute...

Embodiment 2

[0104] Example 2: Distillation with ammonia buffer

[0105] The reactor contents from Example 1 were short path distilled at atmospheric pressure under a nitrogen blanket. Distillation was continued at a bottoms temperature of 142.5 to 245°C to produce an overhead product of 50.1% of the initial charge. The pH of the distillate averaged 7.5, while a final distillate sample comprising 8% of the initial charge obtained a pH of 8.6. The pH of the remaining bottom fraction was 6.6.

[0106] This example illustrates the ability to distill an ammonia buffer overhead as a base that can be recycled to neutralize acidity in subsequent reaction cycles.

Abstract

Provided is a method for hydrothermal hydrocatalytic treatment of biomass. The lignocellulosic biomass solids are provided to a hydrothermal digestion unit in the presence of at least one of a digestion solvent, ammonia or an ammonia source, and a supported hydrogenolysis catalyst containing a suitable support incorporated into it (a) sulfur, (b) Mo or W, and (c) Co, Ni or mixtures thereof. The lignocellulosic biomass solids and digestion solvent are heated in the presence of hydrogen, a supported hydrogenolysis catalyst, and at least one of ammonia or ammonia source to form a product solution containing various oxygenated hydrocarbons and ammonia. At least a portion of the ammonia is separated and recycled to the hydrothermal digestion unit.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of co-pending US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 739,354, filed December 19, 2012. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to the hydrothermal hydrocatalytic treatment of biomass in the preparation from biomass of higher hydrocarbons suitable for transportation fuels and industrial chemicals. Background technique [0003] There is widespread interest in developing new technologies to provide energy from non-fossil fuel sources. Biomass is a resource that shows promise as an alternative to fossil fuels. Unlike fossil fuels, biomass is also renewable. [0004] Biomass can be used as a renewable fuel source. One type of biomass is plant biomass. Plant biomass is the most abundant source of carbohydrates in the world due to the lignocellulosic material that makes up the cell walls in higher plants. The plant cell wall is divided into two parts, the primary cell wall and the secondary cell wall. The prima...
