New insights in the fractionation of Pinus pinaster wood: sequential autohydrolysis, soda ethanol organosolv and acidic precipitation

Pinus pinaster wood (PPW) was fractionated by two different routes: (1) a two-steps system by soda ethanol organosolv (SEOS) followed by lignin precipitation (LP) and (2) a three-steps procedure encompassing autohydrolysis (AH) followed by SEOS and LP. In the two-steps route, the effect of ethanol mass fraction in the cooking liquor (15-55 wt.%) on pulps and lignins purities was studied. In the three-steps system, the effects of AH temperature...
