Process for the Mechanical or Mechano-Chemical Pretreatment of Biomass

摘要

The present invention concerns a process for the mechanical or mechano-chemical treatment of biomass, wherein a mixture containing the biomass and optional further chemicals is pressed through the openings of one or more compactor one or more times. The process can be operated in a continuous manner by using more than one compactor and more than one compacting cycle, whereby the multiple compactors are operated sequentially.
