Production of Renewable Solvents and Monomers from Lignocellulosic Feedstocks
Lignocellulosic biomass is pretreated and broken down into cellulosic sugars. The cellulosic sugars are converted to mevalonolactone (MVL) using Visolis’ proprietary microbes. The MVL containing broth is separated from the cells, deashed-decolorized, concentrated and fed into a catalytic reactor to develop anhydro mevalonolactone (aMVL), and 3-methyl pentanediol (3MPD). The products were separated by distillation into high purity compounds as solvent or polymer applications.
