Biorefineries processes and integration
Effect of Zeolite Pore Size on Reductive Catalytic Fractionation of Agro-residues
Short Introductive summary
Lignocellulosic biomass is a widely available renewable and sustainable feedstock all over the world. Traditional biorefinery concepts are mainly equipped towards maximum utilization of carbohydrate fraction, but depreciate the lignin which is the largest source of aromatics. Reductive catalytic fractionation (RCF) , an emerging biorefinery strategy allows separation of lignin from carbohydrate in its most stable form. The separated lignin can be an better option for producing fuel and chemicals and the remaining residue of carbohydrate can be utilized for bioethanol industry. zeolites catalyst has been used for the catalytic depolymerization of lignin. Lignin oil after depolymerization has been analyzed using GC/MS. Microwave pre-treatment of biomass has been done to increase the lignin oil yield.
