Unlocking lignin on a large scale from kraft pulp mills
A novel sulphuric acid-free lignin extraction technology that produces high-value lignin and reduces a kraft pulp mill’s emissions. The lignin is a bio-based raw material that can be used in packaging and the chemical industry. The odourless liquid concentrate or dried powder is ideal for drop-in use cases or chemical modification. Formulations are offered for using lignin as a sustainable raw material to address the demand for enhanced performance while replacing fossil-based raw materials.
The need
Current lignin separation systems disrupt a pulp mill’s chemical balance and increase the discharge of harmful sulphate into the environment. Plywood glue producers suffer from lack of renewable feedstocks (lignin) to replace fossil-based phenol.
The solution
A novel sulphuric acid-free lignin extraction technology that produces high-value lignin and reduces a kraft pulp mill’s emissions. The lignin is a bio-based raw material that can be used in packaging and the chemical industry. The odourless liquid concentrate or dried powder is ideal for drop-in use cases or chemical modification. Formulations are offered for using lignin as a sustainable raw material to address the demand for enhanced performance while replacing fossil-based raw materials.
The value proposition
- No need to burn lignin.
- A novel lignin extraction technology designed for pulp mills.
- Affordable production of lignin for packaging and the chemical industry.
- Formulations for using lignin as a key sustainable raw material to enhance performance and replace fossil-based raw materials.
