Economic and environmental impact of recovering and upgrading lignin via the ALPHA process on an ethanol biorefinery

Lignin valorization is limited by both impurities and broad molecular weight (MW) distributions. The Aqueous Lignin Purification using Hot Agents (ALPHA) process exploits the novel liquid–liquid equilibrium that exists between lignin and hot, one-phase solutions of aqueous renewable solvents to simu...
