Abstract
The invention provides a method for purifying a biomass hydrolysate comprising sugars and suspended particles, comprising centrifuging the biomass hydrolysate, thermally treating the centrifuged hydrolysate to chemically or physically agglomerate the suspended particles, and filtering the thermally treated hydrolysate to remove agglomerated suspended particles, thereby generating a purified hydrolysate (sugar syrup). The sequence of steps may be varied. Biomass hydrolysates may be provided from a wide variety of processes. Surprisingly, a 20-fold improvement in sugar purity (total suspended solids content) is demonstrated experimentally, compared to prior methods.
