CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application is related to co-pending U.S. application Ser. No. ______ entitled “LOW METAL, LOW WATER BIOMASS-DERIVED PYROLYSIS OILS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME”, and U.S. application Ser. No. ______ entitled “METHODS FOR REGENERATING ACIDIC ION-EXCHANGE RESINS AND REUSING REGENERANTS IN SUCH METHODS”, filed concurrently herewith on ______, and which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present invention generally relates to biofuels and processes for preparing biofuels, and more particularly relates to low water biomass-derived pyrolysis oil and processes for producing the same.DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART
[0003] Fast pyrolysis is a process during which organic biomass materials, such as wood waste, agricultural waste, etc., are rapidly heated to about 450° C. to about 600° C. in the absence of air using a process reactor. Under these conditions, organic vapors, pyrolysis gases and...
