dc.description.abstract |
An alternative way of fractionating lignocellulose biomass into its individual components, hemicelluloses, lignin and cellulose, was investigated. South African Eucalyptus grandis wood chips were fractionated using a combination of hot water and alkaline treatments with or without AQ. Initially, the biomass samples were treated in hot water to remove hemicelluloses. At optimum prefraction conditions, the data acquired revealed that almost 12 % of the E. grandis wood biomass could be recovered as hemicelluloses. When the hemicelluloses preextracted biomass was further treated using sodium hydroxide with or without AQ, the data indicated that the amount of lignin and cellulose that could be recovered was 22 and 36 %, respectively (as % of the wood mass). The substrate was characterised by a higher amount of a-cellulose (91–93 %), lower kappa no (12–13), viscosity (327–450 g mg/L) and DP (1078–1536). It was then presumed that such pulp could meet end-user requirement of the dissolving pulps. Industrial acceptance of this biomass fractionation concept, however, will further require careful assessments of various options for treating and purifying the hemicelluloses and lignin in their respect streams. |
