Pre-treatment of lignocellulosic feedstocks using biorenewable alcohols: towards complete biomass valorisation
Christopher S. Lancefield,Isabella Panovic,Peter J. Deuss,Katalin Barta,Nicholas J. Westwood +4 more
TL;DR: The ability of the biomass derived solvents ethanol and, in particular, n-butanol to fractionate lignocellulose into its main components and the isolated lignins revealed that they still contained large amounts of β-aryl ether units, making them particularly suitable for depolymerisation to mono-aromatic chemicals.
