Biomass based feeds are processed under hydrothermal treatment conditions to produce a hydrocarbon liquid product and a solids portion. The hydrothermal treatment is performed in the presence of catalyst particles. The presence of the heterogeneous catalyst can modify the nature of the hydrocarbon products produced from the hydrothermal treatment. After the hydrothermal treatment, the catalyst particles can be separated from the algae-based solids, to allow for recycle of the catalyst particles.

No: 13/285743 Application Filed: October 31, 2011 Assignees: EXXONMOBIL RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING COMPANY (Annandale, NJ, US) Claim: 1. A method for hydrothermally processing biomass, comprising: contacting an algae based feed with water in the presence of catalyst particles under effective hydrothermal processing conditions to produce a multi-phase product, the catalyst particles including a catalyst metal and having an average particle size of at least about 1000 μm; separating the multi-phase product to produce at least a gas phase portion, a liquid hydrocarbon portion, an aqueous portion, and a solids portion, the solids portion containing the catalyst particles and algae based solids; and separating the catalyst particles from the algae based solids. Claim: 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the average particle size of the catalyst particles is at least about 2000 μm. Claim: 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the support for the catalyst particles comprises a hydrothermally stable support material. Claim: 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the support for the catalyst particles comprises titania, zirconia, or a combination thereof. Claim: 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the support for the catalyst particles includes 0.1 wt % or less of alumina. Claim: 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the catalyst particles further comprise a hydrothermally stable binder. Claim: 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the catalyst metal comprises Co, Ni, Mo, or a combination thereof. Claim: 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the catalyst metal comprises Pt, Pd, Rh, Ru, Ir, or a combination thereof. Claim: 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the catalyst metal is in the form of an oxide or a sulfide. Claim: 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the catalyst metal is in the form of a catalyst metal salt. Claim: 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the effective hydrothermal processing conditions include a temperature from about 150° C. to about 500° C. and a pressure from about 4.5 barg (about 450 kPag) to about 300 barg (about 30 MPag). Claim: 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the effective hydrothermal processing conditions include a partial pressure of reducing gas of at least about 2 bar (about 0.2 MPa), wherein the reducing gas is hydrogen. Claim: 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the catalyst particles are separated from the algae based solids prior to or during separation of the solids portion from the aqueous portion. Claim: 14. The method of claim 1, wherein contacting the algae based feed with water under effective hydrothermal processing conditions substantially does not result in a phase change for the water. Claim: 15. The method of claim 1, wherein the algae based feed and the water are introduced into the reactor as a mixture of algae and water. Claim: 16. The method of claim 1, wherein the weight ratio of water to algae is from about 3:1 to about 5:1. Claim: 17. The method of claim 1, wherein the catalyst particles are present in an amount from about 1 wt % to about 20 wt %, based on a weight of the algae. Claim: 18. The method of claim 1, further comprising separating the hydrocarbon liquid product to produce a fraction having at least 90% of its boiling range between about 193° C. and about 360° C. Claim: 19. A method for hydrothermally processing biomass, comprising: contacting an algae based feed with water in the presence of catalyst particles under effective hydrothermal processing conditions to produce a multi-phase product, the catalyst particles including a catalyst metal and having a minimum average particle dimension of at least about 1000 μm; separating the multi-phase product to produce at least a gas phase portion, a liquid hydrocarbon portion, an aqueous portion, and a solids portion, the solids portion containing the catalyst particles and algae based solids; and separating the catalyst particles from the algae based solids.
