Extraction of hardwood biomass using dilute alkali
Source abstract
Abstract
Near neutral hemicellulose extraction involves extracting wood hemicellulose using green liquor before conventional kraft pulping. The objective of this work was to develop correlations that could be used in process design and economic studies. Experimental data are presented for the extraction of northeast hardwood chips using green liquor. The effect of green liquor application rate, liquor-to-wood ratio, and H-factor on the removal of sugars and organic acids is discussed. Response variables include wood yield, total and soluble lignin, component sugars, acetic acid, lactic acid, formic acid, and furfural. Empirical correlations are developed that embody green liquor application rate, liquor-to-wood ratio, and the H-factor. Parameters are presented for the response variables after the extraction and hydrolysis processes.
