Abstract:
A method for treatment of a lignocellulosic biomass using an oxidizing agent selected from an oxygen-containing gas, hydrogen peroxide, ozone and oxidizing acids. The treatment products may be subjected to microbial digestion in order to generate one or more desirable products from the carbonaceous feedstock. The solid portion of the reaction products may be further processed to be used in the paper industry.

Claim (Index 7):
A method for treating a lignocellulosic biomass, comprising the steps of:\n swelling ( 10 ) the lignocellulosic biomass with water and/or steam concurrently with adsorbing ( 100 ) at least one oxidizing agent selected from an oxygen-containing gas, hydrogen peroxide, ozone and oxidizing acids from a liquid phase of an aqueous mixture comprising water, at least one oxidizing agent and the lignocellulosic biomass, onto the lignocellulosic biomass under conditions at which substantially no oxidative depolymerization of carbonaceous materials of the lignocellulosic biomass will occur in order to produce an aqueous mixture with the liquid phase having a reduced content of the oxidizing agent and lignocellulosic biomass having oxidizing agent adsorbed on a surface thereof, and heating ( 200 ) the aqueous mixture produced in the adsorbing step ( 100 ) to a temperature and for a sufficient time to oxidatively depolymerize and solubilize at least a portion of the lignocellulosic biomass.
