    摘要: Process for the production of an organic acid from a lignocellulosic feedstock. The process is integrated with a pulp mill and comprises: a) pre-treating a lignocellulosic feedstock with an alkaline liquor from the pulp, thereby obtaining a pretreated cellulosic feed and a black liquor; b) subjecting the pretreated cellulosic feed from step a) to enzymatic hydrolysis, thereby obtaining a saccharide feed; c) subjecting the saccharide feed from step b) to microbial fermentation using calcium oxide from the pulp mill as a neutralising agent, thereby obtaining an organic acid calcium salt; d) treating the organic acid calcium salt with sulfuric acid, thereby obtaining the organic acid; e) optionally isolating lignin from the black liquor obtained in step a), thereby obtaining lignin and weak black liquor; and f) returning the black liquor from step a) and/or the weak black liquor from step e) to the pulp mill chemical recovery process.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method of producing a nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC), the nanofibrillated cellulose product obtained and the use of the nanofibrillated cellulose product. The method comprises the steps of: Providing cellulosic fibres dispersed in water; Solvent-exchanging water in the fibres to an organic solvent, such as alcohol, suitably ethanol or isopropanol; Impregnating the fibres with a solution comprising a halogenated aliphatic acid having more than 2 carbon atoms; Heat-treating the impregnated fibres at a temperature of more than 50° C. in an alkaline solution comprising an organic solvent, which solution is optionally aqueous, to carboxyalkylatethe fibres; Washing the fibres; Converting the carboxyl groups their alkali metal counter-ion form; Optionally filtering the fibres; Dispersing the fibres in water; Mechanically disintegrating the fibres to provide the NFC product.

    摘要: A method of preparing a composition comprising mycelium along with a cellulose and/or plurality of nanoparticles is described herein. The method comprises inoculating a liquid medium with fungus, the liquid medium comprising nutrients and the cellulose and/or nanoparticles. Further described herein are compositions comprising mycelium along with a cellulose and/or plurality of nanoparticles, as well as articles-of-manufacture comprising such a composition, wherein at least 10% of the cellulose and/or nanoparticles in the composition is incorporated within the mycelium. A method of enhancing fungal growth is also described, comprising contacting the fungus with a liquid medium comprising a polymer which comprises carboxylic acid groups.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method of producing lignin with reduced amount of odorous substances comprising the steps of: i) dissolving isolated lignin into an alkali solution; ii) adding to the solution C1-C4-alcohol in an amount of less than 30% by weight, based on the dry weight of the isolated lignin; and iii) re-precipitating lignin by acidifying the solution. The invention also relates to a lignin product with reduced odor obtained and/or obtainable by the method and to the use of the obtained lignin as a component in polymer blends, an additive or filler in building materials, as binding agent in adhesives, and/or for the production of a carbon fiber, especially in indoor applications.
