Abstract:
A filter media for the removal of undesirable solid components from a fuel feedstock contains biomass and a catalyst used from the thermocatalytic conversion of biomass into bio-oil.
Abstract:
A two-stage reactor/process is disclosed for the conversion of solid particulate biomass material and includes: a first stage, in which solid particulate biomass material is pyrolyzed to primary reaction products, and a second stage in which the primary reaction products are catalytically converted in a second stage which is operated at a temperature higher than that of the first stage.
