Lignocellulose , examples, components

These conditions lead to interesting extraction yields, but residence times in reactors have to be kept short in order to not degrade the biomass components substantially. In the following, lignin from lignocellulosic biomass was separated by subcritical water (<220 °C, <5 MPa) and was characterized by various analytical methods. Its efficient utilization as a matrix for thermoplastic materials could be proved. It is important in material manufacturing to have a simple method for quality control of the raw materials. One of them can be Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), for example [53-55].
