Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a composition that includes a solid support, a metal positioned on the solid support, and an oxide coating positioned to at least partially cover the metal. The compositions described herein may be utilized in methods that include contacting muconic acid and hydrogen to convert at least a portion of the muconic acid to adipic acid.

Catalytic biomass conversion methods, catalysts, and methods of making the same

Patent Delgass, William Nicholas; Agrawal, Rakesh; Ribeiro, Fabio Henrique; ...

Described herein are processes for one-step delignification and hydrodeoxygenation of lignin fraction a biomass feedstock. The lignin feedstock is derived from by-products of paper production and biorefineries. Additionally described is a process for converting biomass-derived oxygenates to lower oxygen-content compounds and/or hydrocarbons in the liquid or vapor phase in a reactor system containing hydrogen and a catalyst comprised of a hydrogenation function and/or an oxophilic function and/or an acid function. Finally, also described herein is a process for converting biomass-derived oxygenates to lower oxygen-content compounds and/or hydrocarbons in the liquid or vapor phase in a reactor system containing hydrogen andmore » « less

Structured catalyst bed and method for conversion of feed materials to chemical products and liquid fuels

Patent Wang, Yong; Liu, Wei

The present invention is a structured monolith reactor and method that provides for controlled Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis. The invention controls mass transport limitations leading to higher CO conversion and lower methane selectivity. Over 95 wt % of the total product liquid hydrocarbons obtained from the monolithic catalyst are in the carbon range of C.sub.5-C.sub.18. The reactor controls readsorption of olefins leading to desired products with a preselected chain length distribution and enhanced overall reaction rate. And, liquid product analysis shows readsorption of olefins is reduced, achieving a narrower FT product distribution.

Systems and methods for enhancing microbial conversion of biomass using mechanical augmentation

Patent Lynd, Lee R.; Paye, Julie M. D.; Balch, Michael

A system and method for converting biomass with no chemical pretreatment is disclosed. Combination of a microbial system and the use of mechanical disruption during fermentation may help achieve high conversion rate without the extra cost and undesirable by-products typically associated with the pretreatment process.

Systems and methods for solar energy storage, transportation, and conversion utilizing photochemically active organometallic isomeric compounds and solid-state catalysts

Patent Vollhardt, K. Peter C.; Segalman, Rachel A; Majumdar, Arunava; ...

A system for converting solar energy to chemical energy, and, subsequently, to thermal energy includes a light-harvesting station, a storage station, and a thermal energy release station. The system may include additional stations for converting the released thermal energy to other energy forms, e.g., to electrical energy and mechanical work. At the light-harvesting station, a photochemically active first organometallic compound, e.g., a fulvalenyl diruthenium complex, is exposed to light and is photochemically converted to a second, higher-energy organometallic compound, which is then transported to a storage station. At the storage station, the high-energy organometallic compound is stored for a desiredmore » « less

Thermal conversion of biomass to valuable fuels, chemical feedstocks and chemicals

Patent Peters, William A [Lexington, MA]; Howard, Jack B [Winchester, MA]; Modestino, Anthony J [Hanson, MA]; ...

A continuous process for the conversion of biomass to form a chemical feedstock is described. The biomass and an exogenous metal oxide, preferably calcium oxide, or metal oxide precursor are continuously fed into a reaction chamber that is operated at a temperature of at least 1400.degree. C. to form reaction products including metal carbide. The metal oxide or metal oxide precursor is capable of forming a hydrolizable metal carbide. The reaction products are quenched to a temperature of 800.degree. C. or less. The resulting metal carbide is separated from the reaction products or, alternatively, when quenched with water, hydolyzed tomore » « less
