In accordance with the teachings of the present invention, a system and method converting biomass into useful chemicals are provided. In a particular embodiment, the method includes fermenting biomass in one or more fermentors to produce a fermentation broth comprising ammonium carboxylate salts, the fermentors containing an ammonium carbonate or ammonium bicarbonate buffer. The method further includes reacting the ammonium carboxylate salts from the fermentors with a high-molecular-weight amine to produce amine carboxylate salt, and thermally cracking the amine carboxylate salt to produce carboxylic acid. In another embodiment, the ammonium carboxylate salts from the fermentors may be reacted with a low-molecular-weight amine to produce a low-molecular-weight-amine carboxylate salt. The low-molecular-weight amine in the low-molecular-weight-amine carboxylate salt may then be switched with a high-molecular-weight amine to form a high-molecular-weight-amine carboxylate salt, which is then thermally cracked to produce carboxylic acid. |

The process and system of the embodiments utilize a reactive separation unit to upgrade a bioprocess intermediate stream to higher value liquid fuels or chemicals. The reactive separation unit simultaneously enables molecular weight and density increases, oxygen content reduction, efficient process energy integration, optional water separation for potential reuse, and incorporation of additional hydrocarbons or oxygenated hydrocarbons as co-feed(s). The use and selection of particular co-feed(s) for this purpose enables tailoring of the intended product composition. The process and system yields a product of higher alcohols, liquid hydrocarbons, or a combination of these. These can be split into two (or more) boiling point fractions by the same reactive separations unit operation resulting in product(s) that can be used as chemicals, chemical intermediates, or alternative (non-fossil-based) liquid transportation fuels. |
