Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods are disclosed for processing biomass by single-stage supercritical hydrolysis, wherein the biomass has been size reduced.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: size reducing a starting lignocellulosic biomass to form a lignocellulosic biomass having a particle size less than about 500 μm; forming a mixture comprising: water; and said lignocellulosic biomass having a particle size less than about 500 μm; and contacting water at a temperature of at least about 374° C. and a pressure of at least about 221 bar with said mixture for a duration sufficient to produce at least one C 5 or C 6…
