Production of liquid fuels and higher value chemicals from biomass provides a means to lessen our dependence on fossil fuels and, consequently, contributes to a reduction in production of greenhouse gases. However, thermochemically derived products from biomass contain large quantities of oxygen-containing compounds, and there are undesirable characteristics associated with these biomass-derived oils. The carboxylic acids, particularly formic acid, are corrosive to many common structural alloys, and other compounds, particularly ketones, cause degradation of many of the common elastomeric materials used for seals in liquid systems.
