Low-pressure flow-through fractionation of Quercus mongolica for highly selective cellulose and reactive lignin recovery: a lignocellulosic biorefinery approach

Key Points

• This research aims to enhance the recovery of cellulose and reactive lignin from Quercus mongolica using low-pressure flow-through fractionation.
• Utilized a low-pressure flow-through fractionation system
• Prepared lignocellulosic biomass from Quercus mongolica
• Analyzed recovery efficiency of cellulose and lignin relative to traditional methods
• Significantly improved recovery rates of cellulose compared to conventional extraction
• Achieved selective recovery of reactive lignin
• Demonstrated potential for more sustainable biomass processing in biorefineries
