COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR BIOMASS LIQUEFACTION

摘要

The present disclosure relates methods and compositions for pretreatment of biomass, for example to form a biomass slurry suitable for downstream processing (e.g., saccharification, fermentation, etc.). The present methods provide several advantages in industrial operations, such as better heat exchange, reduced power and water usage, and the ability to carry out reactions continuously due to the reduced requirement for cleaning reaction vessels.
