Abstract:
One aspect of the present invention relates to a method of modifying thermoplastic properties of lignin rich biomass to reduce agglomeration during any subsequent pyrolysis. The method comprises providing a lignin rich biomass and treating the lignin rich biomass with an alkali metal hydroxide or an alkaline earth metal hydroxide under conditions effective to reduce agglomeration, during any subsequent pyrolysis, compared to when the lignin rich biomass is not subjected to said treating. Also disclosed is a method of fast pyrolysis using the product of this method of modifying the thermoplastic properties of lignin rich biomass.

Claim (Index 34):
The method according to  claim 30 , wherein said treating comprises:\n mixing the technical lignin and the alkali metal hydroxide or the alkaline earth metal hydroxide to form an aqueous mixture having a moisture content and reducing the moisture content of the mixture.
