Abstract
A method for processing lignocellulosic precursors that includes the following steps:
- A. provide a suitably sized lignocellulosic precursor with less than 11% moisture content;B. pack a hydrothermal processing vessel with between 1 and 3 times the free flow volume of the lignocellulosic precursor;C. subject the lignocellulosic precursor in the hydrothermal processing vessel to steam below 100 bar for up to 10 minutes;E. explosively decompress to ambient pressure;and then dry the resultant lignocellulosic product to below about 15% moisture content.
