Abstract: A process for producing a transportation fuel from a lignocellulosic feedstock comprising subjecting a stream comprising lignin to a wet oxidation that produces low molecular weight carboxylic acids. These carboxylic acids and/or the corresponding esters are fed to a hydrogenation reaction or gas fermentation wherein they are converted to an alcohol. Heat from the wet oxidation may be supplied to any stage of the process in which heat is introduced.

Abstract: A liquid fuel composition for a spark ignition internal combustion engine comprising (a) gasoline blending components, (b) Fischer-Tropsch derived naphtha at a level of up to 50% v/v and (c) oxygenated hydrocarbon at a level less than 50% v/v. While the low octane number of Fischer-Tropsch derived naphtha would normally severely restrict its blendability in gasoline to low levels, it has now been found that Fischer-Tropsch derived naphtha can be included in, for example, ethanol-containing gasoline fuel compositions, in surprisingly and significantly high blend ratios of Fischer-Tropsch derived naphtha to ethanol.

Abstract: Methods of producing clean (e.g., low sulfur and metal ion content, and free of fermentation inhibitors) sugar and lignin-rich streams, and downstream conversion products, from lignocellulosic biomass, may include obtaining non-chemically pretreated, milled lignocellulosic biomass, reacting the milled lignocellulosic biomass with an enzymatic agent to produce a slurry that includes converted monomeric lignocellulosic sugars and lignin-rich residuals, and separating the slurry into a sugar stream that includes the converted monomeric lignocellulosic sugars and a lignin-rich stream that includes the lignin-rich residuals. The sugar stream, not including water, includes at least 75% monomeric lignocellulosic sugar, less than 0.20% sulfur, and less than 3.0% metal ion content, and the lignin-rich stream includes at least 35% lignin and less than 0.50% sulfur. Some methods include producing fermentation products such as alcohols and/or organic acids from the sugar stream, and/or use of the lignin residuals in fuels.

Abstract: In alternative embodiments, provided are systems and processes for the preparation of high-quality biodiesel and high-quality glycerol from oils: e.g., natural oils: corn oil, distillers corn, linseed, flaxseed, cottonseed, rapeseed (canola), peanut, sunflower, safflower, coconut, palm, soybean, comprising a high percentage (e.g. >10%) of organic acids, e.g. free fatty acids. In alternative embodiments, provided are systems and processes for the production of biodiesel meeting or exceeding the specifications for B100 biodiesel set forth in ASTM Specification D6751-14, as well as a glycerol co-product meeting or exceeding the standards for U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP)-grade glycerol from natural oil feedstocks comprising high percentages of organic acids. In alternative embodiments, natural oil feedstocks with high organic acid content are subjected to a transesterification reaction with an alcohol under conditions at or above the critical temperature and pressure of the alcohol in the absence of any catalyst.
