Abstract [en]

The valorization of lignocellulosic biomass towards the production of value-added products requires an efficient pretreatment/fractionation step. In this work we present a novel, acid-free, mildly oxidative organosolv delignification process -OxiOrganosolv- which employs oxygen gas to depolymerize and remove lignin. The results demonstrate that the OxiOrganosolv process achieved lignin removal as high as 97% in a single stage, with a variety of solvents; it was also efficient in delignifying both beechwood (hardwood) and pine (softwood), a task in which organosolv pretreatments have failed in the past. Minimal amounts of sugar degradation products were detected, while cellulose recovery was ~100% in the solid pulp. Enzymatic hydrolysis of pulps showed >80 wt% cellulose conversion to glucose. Overall, the OxiOrganosolv pretreatment has significant advantages, including high delignification efficiency of hardwood and softwood biomass, absence of acid homogeneous catalysis and all corresponding challenges involved, and close to zero losses of sugars to degradation products.
