A Biorefinery Utilizing Lignin
- 總結
- Researchers at Purdue University have developed a biorefinery concept that is based on current advances in lignin processing. Based on the idea of retention of the structure, multiple processes will be used in the concept to convert biomass feedstocks. This concept allows greater utilization of the various natural structures present in the lignocellulosic biomass feedstock.
- 技術優勢

- *Background
- As the U.S. transitions to a new energy landscape, any renewable platform must provide both liquid fuels and commodity chemicals on a large scale. Biorefinery concepts have been developed, and there are currently some biorefinery concepts in the market; however, current commercial biorefineries and biorefinery concepts focus mainly on the cellulose/hemicellulose (sugar) fraction of biomass for the production of fuels and chemicals and neglect the lignin fraction.
