INCAT strongly believes in lignin and is exploring and improving several valorization strategies. However, in a recent study by Tibo De Saegher, Matteo Deroma, Boyana Atanasova, Kevin Van Geem, Jeriffa De Clercq, Jeroen Lauwaert and An Verberckmoes, the valorization potential of lignin was correlated with the yield that can be obtained during the pulping process. Hence, an in-depth Soda pulping study was conducted whereby the effects of several process variables were evaluated. In addition, the experimental data was used to train a predictive model (Adaboost algorithm) to optimize the pulping conditions.
✔ Are you interested in how the lignin properties were altered by varying the Soda pulping variables? Do you want to know at which severity factor unfavorable reactions occur?
✔ Keen to know the optimum at which the yield is high but with preservation of the alkyl aryl ether beta-O-4 content?
