Resource pulping

The exploratory focus "resource pulping" mainly deals with an efficent access to molecular component parts of biomass (lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose).Target to the process are not only the solubilization of bio macro molecules, but rather their selective purification for customised chemical and bio catalysis. To purify the bio macro molecules, a mechanic pulping process and the use of so called Smart Solvents (e.g. ionic liquids, organosolv) are combined.

Ongoing success within the TMFB Cluster from the field of resource pulping can be found in a recently published article of Nature Chemistry.
