Förbehandling och fraktionering av lignocellulosa

Pretreatment and fractionation of lignocellulose

The purpose of the project is to study the optimization and efficiency of pretreatment and selective fractionation of lignocellulose in order to then refine selected fractions into high-value bio-based products. The goal is to contribute new basic knowledge that contributes to the development of bio-based processes as support for a further scale-up and industrial implementation. MoRe Research will together with Luleå University of Technology (LTU) conduct the project with the main supervision of Luleå University of Technology. The project is financed, among other things, by the Kempestiftelserna, Bioinnovation, LTU and others.

MoRe Research reactors and peripheral equipment enable an important scale-up of various separation processes based on bio-raw materials. We want to develop chemical processes for bio-based raw materials, with an interest in root and bark but also other residual streams with biomaterial. Overall, we want to optimize pretreatment processes for lignocellulose and extract the various components of the wood in a more resource-efficient way with increased selectivity. Selected fractions from the separation process will then be studied for further processing into high-value bio-based chemical products and materials.
