The Impact of Biomass and Acid Loading on Methanolysis during Two-Step Lignin-First Processing of Birchwood
We optimized the solvolysis step in methanol for two-step lignin-first upgrading of woody biomass. Birchwood was first converted via sulfuric acid methanolysis to cellulose pulp and a lignin oil intermediate, which comprises a mixture of lignin oligomers and C5 sugars in the methanol solvent. The im...
