Valorisation of Byproducts from Lignocellulosic Biorefineries: Humin Depolymerisation by Ozonolysis
Short Introductive summary
Humins, black/brown powders, are a major byproduct from the conversion of the sugar fraction of lignocellulosic biomass. Valorisation of the humins to higher-added-value products will increase the techno-economic potential of lignocellulosic biorefineries. Various methods have been explored in the literature, such as gasification, pyrolysis, acid/base treatments, and (catalytic) pyrolysis. However, oxidative treatments are rare, and ozonation, a well-known technology, for example, in water treatment, has not been reported to date.
