Hemicellulose pre-extraction of wood with watersn a CSTR

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

A potential solution to decreasing forest products prices and increased wood costs is the production of bio-fuels and bio-based chemicals besides pulp. The "Integted Forest Products Biorefinery" is based on the separation of the different wood components and further processing and commercialization of each component to create its highest value added. The effect of temperature on hemicellulose dissolution was studied. The lignin, xylan, sugar, and total yield were linear correlated with temperature. The key factors affecting the solubility of xylan (free acetate and acetyl groups) on xylan were studied. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 8th World Congress of Chemical Engineering (Montreal, Quebec, Canada 8/23-27/2009).
