Abstract: A process for increasing alcohol yield from biomass (the form or agro- or forest residue, grains, hops, etc.), involving multiple hydrodynamic cavitation treatments of biomass filtrate—both before and after fermentation. Carbohydrates extracted from biomass are subjected to a first cavitation treatment to promote additional conversion into carbohydrates. The carbohydrates are then combined with bacterial species and nutrients, and allowed to ferment. The fermentation product is subjected to a second hydrodynamic cavitation treatment to promote further conversion of carbohydrates into bioalcohol. After distillation, the bioalcohol is subjected to a second hydrodynamic cavitation treatment to increase its purity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing cellulosic sugar from biomass by effective impurity removal and sugar separation, and more particularly to a method for producing cellulosic sugar from biomass. The method includes pretreating the biomass so as to be separated into a solid and a liquid; subjecting the separated liquid to monomerization, concentration and adsorption processes, thereby obtaining xylose; and subjecting the separated solid to second pretreatment, saccharification and lignin separation processes, thereby obtaining glucose. The method allows fermentation inhibitory substances to be removed from pretreated biomass in a cost- and energy-effective process, and is useful for effective production of cellulosic sugar.

Abstract: Biomass (e.g., plant biomass, animal biomass, and municipal waste biomass) is processed to produce useful intermediates and products, such as energy, fuels, foods or materials. For example, equipment, systems and methods are described that can be used to treat feedstock materials, such as cellulosic and/or lignocellulosic materials, in a vault in which hazardous gases are removed, destroyed and/or converted. The treatments are efficient and can reduce the recalcitrance of the lignocellulosic material so that it is easier to produce an intermediate or product, e.g., sugars, alcohols, sugar alcohols and energy, from the lignocellulosic material.
