Abstract (en)

Process for the conversion of biomass into liquid hydrocarbons, comprising the steps of: (a) preparing an aqueous slurry comprising biomass and solid particles comprising a layered material and/or a heat-treated form thereof, the layered material being selected from the group consisting of smectites, anionic clays, layered hydroxy salts, and cationic layered materials, (b) thermally treating said slurry at a temperature in the range of 250 to 400°C, and (c) optionally separating the thermally treated slurry into (i) an aqueous phase, (ii) an organic phase containing the liquid hydrocarbons, and (iii) a solid phase. This process allows the conversion of biomass into liquid hydrocarbons under mild pressures.
