Abstract:
Biomass feedstocks (e.g., plant biomass, animal biomass, and municipal waste biomass) are processed to produce useful products, such as fuels. For example, systems are described that can use feedstock materials, such as cellulosic and/or lignocellulosic materials and/or starchy materials, to produce a product or intermediate, e.g., energy, a food, a fuel, or a material.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of changing an average molecular weight of a biomass feedstock comprising:\n determining the lignin content of the biomass feedstock; treating the biomass feedstock material with a process selected from the group consisting of mechanical treatment, chemical treatment, radiation, sonication, pyrolysis, oxidation, steam explosion and combinations thereof to change the average molecular weight of the biomass feedstock; and setting a process parameter of the process based on the lignin content.
