Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Biomass (e.g., plant biomass, animal biomass, and municipal waste biomass) is processed to produce useful products, such as fuels. For example, systems can use feedstock materials, such as cellulosic and/or lignocellulosic materials and/or starchy or sugary materials, to produce ethanol and/or butanol, e.g., by fermentation.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: applying a first dose of ionizing radiation to a flowing biomass, cooling the biomass with a cooling fluid, and applying a second dose of ionizing radiation to the flowing biomass. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first and second ionizing radiation doses are provided by accelerated electrons. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein applying the first and second radiation dose includes sca…
