Advanced Biorefinery based on the Fractionation of Biomass in γ‐Valerolactone and Water

Wenwen Fang, Herbert Sixta

Open publisher page 100 citations

Abstract

We suggest for the first time the use of γ-valerolactone (GVL)/H2 O as solvent and reaction medium for the fractionation of wood to recover pure cellulose, uniform sugar components from hemicellulose, and a pure lignin fraction. The yield of the pulp residue could reach 40.3 % with a high cellulose purity of 90.3 %.
