Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for processing biomass to produce biofuel includes decomposing lignocellulosic material into byproduct polymers that include lignin, decomposing the lignin into targeted chemical fragments, and chemically converting the targeted chemical fragments into a biofuel.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for processing biomass to produce biofuel, the method comprising: decomposing lignocellulosic material into byproduct polymers that include lignin; decomposing the lignin into targeted chemical fragments that include oxygenates; and chemically converting the targeted chemical fragments by reacting the targeted chemical fragments with each other to produce biofuel hydrocarbons having from 9 to 16 carbon atoms. 2. The method…
