<p>592089 Disclosed is a method for producing a bio-oil from a lignocellulosic material, the method comprising the steps of: (a) producing a slurry comprising the lignocellulosic matter, (b) solvating hemicellulose from the lignocellulosic matter using an aqueous solvent, (c) removing solvated hemicellulose from solid matter remaining after step (b); and (d) solvating lignin and cellulose from the solid matter remaining after step (c) using a solvent comprising an aqueous alcohol at a reaction temperature of between 180oC and 350oC and a reaction pressure of between 8 MPa and 26 MPa (i.e. the reaction is preferably conducted under supercritical conditions), wherein step (d) of solvating lignin and cellulose produces the bio-oil.</p> |
