Abstract

The potential of renewable energy and chemical sources is more important than ever before due to the combination of diminishing crude oil supplies and population increase. The bio-refinery concept is evolving from a fascinating notion to a viable replacement for a variety of fossil-fuel-based goods. Pre-treatment processes designed for a comprehensive bio-refinery shall show selective dissociation of each constituent of a biomass feedstock, ease of access to and detachment of the constituents after separation, high yield revival of every component, process components readily available for conversion into chemicals with negligible purification, as well as economic feasibility. These criteria are typically met by organosolv pre-treatments. To be broadly accepted by markets and the public, the generation of renewable chemicals, as well as biofuels, should be price and performance competitive employing crude oil-derived counterparts. The focus of this study is on developing a biomass conversion technique that maximizes the transformation of lignocellulosic biomass into commercially viable high-value products, allowing for effective translation to an economically feasible commercial process.
