1. A method of making a biomass hydrolysate, the method comprising:
A. catalytically reacting water and a water-soluble C2+O1+ oxygenated hydrocarbon in a liquid or vapor phase with H2 in the presence of a deoxygenation catalyst at a deoxygenation temperature and a deoxygenation pressure to produce a biomass processing solvent comprising a C2+O1-3 hydrocarbon in a reaction stream, wherein the biomass processing solvent comprises a member selected from the group consisting of an alcohol, ketone, aldehyde, cyclic ether, ester, diol, triol, hydroxy carboxylic acid, carboxylic acid, and a mixture thereof; and B. reacting the biomass processing solvent with a solid biomass component at a deconstruction temperature and a deconstruction pressure to produce a biomass hydrolysate comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of a water-soluble lignocellulose derivative, a water-soluble cellulose derivative, a water-soluble hemicellulose derivative, a carbohydrate, a starch, a monosaccharide, a disaccharide, a polysaccharide, a sugar, a sugar alcohol, an alditol and a polyol. |
