Abstract:Effective separation of various components in biomass is critical for biorefinery. Autohydrolysis is a commercialized unit operation to remove hemicelluloses, such as xylan, in producing high‐quality cellulose (the so‐called dissolving pulp) in the pre‐hydrolysis kraft process. In the present study, the autohydrolysis of eucalyptus woodchips was investigated for the purpose of producing dissolving pulps, with a focus on the production of cellulose acetate grade dissolving pulp. First, the effects of liquid‐to‐… Show more
