An apparatus disclosed herein is for implementing new mass transfer method to eliminate displacement zone via maintaining installed resin in column in semi-dry status for superior mass transfer between two phases. Through implementing following methods comprising new mass transfer method, differential set-up and via single stage recycle procedures integrating with modules, apparatus herein disclosed is operated in a contained loop comprising multiple modules connected in sequence and yet function independently to simultaneously feeding raw solution containing glucose and fructose, inputting eluent water, retrieving raffinate glucose and product fructose, and other recycling mixtures to enhance concentration of separated fractions and capable of continuous separation of glucose and fructose feed solution into 100% yield of respective pure component. Disclosed apparatus cutbacks nearly 40% of resin stock compared under same feed throughput with traditional simultaneous moving bed process that has separation of 88% recovery of 90% fructose purity in product stream.

The resin solid acid is a sulfo group-modified resin obtained by introducing sulfo groups into a raw material resin in an uncarbonized state, the yield of the sulfo group-modified resin based on the weight of the uncarbonized raw material resin is 80% or more, the amount of sulfo groups in the sulfo group-modified resin is 1 mmol/g or more, and the raw material resin is in the form of a powder, granules or fibers. In addition, the method for producing the resin solid acid is a production method for obtaining a sulfo group-modified resin by comprising a step for adding a sulfonating agent in the form of any of sulfuric acid, fuming sulfuric acid or chlorosulfonic acid to a raw material resin in an uncarbonized state, and a step for heating the uncarbonized raw material resin at 200 C. or lower.

The present disclosure generally relates to compositions and methods of simultaneously making two unique biointermediates from a single lignocellulosic biomass feedstock, including a hydrophobic biohydrocarbon and a water insoluble hydrophilic cellulosic biopolymer for use in the production of renewable fuels, chemicals, and other carbon neutral materials commonly derived from petroleum and other fossil resources.

A system for converting cellulosic feedstock to sugar is disclosed and has a reactor chamber configured receive the cellulosic feedstock, a crusher assembly configured to receive the cellulose feedstock wherein the crusher assembly is configured to grind the mixture under pressure to induce a reaction between the cellulosic feedstock and a natural occurring griding element in the feedstock to produce a grinded mixture and sugar, wherein the crusher assembly comprises rollers.
