ORGANICS RECOVERY FROM THE AQUEOUS PHASE OF BIOMASS CATALYTIC PYROLYSIS, AND UPGRADING THEREOF

摘要

Disclosed is a process for recovering a water-soluble complex mixture of organic compounds from an aqueous stream through extraction and/or through contact of the aqueous stream with a sorbent or sorbents selected from the group consisting of polymeric microreticular sorbent resins, zeolite-based adsorbents, clay- based adsorbents, activated carbon-based sorbents, and mixtures thereof; and including methods to recover and upgrade the removed organic compounds.
