AI Technical Summary
Existing processes for producing bio-oil and biofuels from lignocellulosic biomass are inefficient in terms of yield and product quality, and the deconstruction process is not optimized for efficient breakdown of plant cell walls.
A process involving low-temperature deconstruction of lignocellulosic biomass using chemical catalysts, followed by hydrothermal liquefaction with glycerol as a solvent, and subsequent high-pressure hydrodeoxygenation or fast catalytic pyrolysis to enhance the breakdown of cellulose and hemicellulose into intermediates, improving the liquefaction efficiency and product quality.
The process increases the yield and quality of bio-oil production by effectively breaking down the rigid structure of plant cell walls into accessible intermediates, resulting in a high-quality petroleum-like product.
