Targetry coupled separation refers to enhancing the production of a predetermined radiation product through the selection of a target (including selection of the target material and the material's physical structure) and separation chemistry in order to optimize the recovery of the predetermined radiation product. This disclosure describes systems and methods for creating (through irradiation) and removing one or more desired radioisotopes from a target and further describes systems and methods that allow the same target to undergo multiple irradiations and separation operations without damage to the target. In contrast with the prior art that requires complete dissolution or destruction of a target before recovery of any irradiation products, the repeated reuse of the same physical target allowed by targetry coupled separation represents a significant increase in efficiency and decrease in cost over the prior art.

A process is provided for producing reduced acid lignocellulosic-derived bio-oil. treating a lignocellulosic biomass feedstock in a moving bed reactor with a metal oxide catalyst on an oxide support under treating conditions to produce a treated stream; directing spent metal oxide catalyst from the moving bed reactor to a fluidized bed regenerator, the spent metal oxide catalyst resulting from treating the lignocellulosic biomass feedstock with the metal oxide catalyst; regenerating the spent metal oxide catalyst in the fluidized bed regenerator by removing coke from the spent metal oxide catalyst in a combustion process that regenerates the spent metal oxide catalyst into the metal oxide catalyst; and returning to the moving bed reactor the metal oxide catalyst that has been regenerated in the fluidized bed regenerator. The obtained bio-oil is particularly suitable as a renewable feedstock for hydroprocessing in biofuel manufacture.
