Title: Methods of hydrolyzing pretreated densified biomass particulates and systems related thereto

Patent · Tue Feb 03 00:00:00 EST 2015

OSTI ID:1169112

Bals, Bryan; Teymouri, Farzaneh; Campbell, Tim; Dale, Bruce

A method is provided in which pretreated and densified cellulosic biomass particulates can be hydrolyzed at a high solids loading rate as compared with the solids loading rate of loose hydrolysable cellulosic biomass fibers. The resulting high concentration sugar-containing stream can be easily converted to biofuels or an entire suite of other useful bioproducts.
