Coproduction of biofuel and chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass: process and analyses = Coproduction of biofuel and chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass: process and analyses

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

We develop a process coproducing biofuel and high value chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass to overcome the challenges of the process producing only biofuel. In this process, cellulose and hemicellulose are converted into butene oligomer (BO) and adipic acid (ADA) as fuel and chemicals, respectively. As well as, lignin is used as a reactant to improve the carbon efficiency by being upgraded to the ADA. We progress a case study controlling the split ratio of the intermediate of BO and ADA to investigate the impact of production rate of products to the process economics. Additionally, we examine and compare the environmental impact of the processes through life cycle analysis. From techno-economic analysis and LCA results, it can be seen the impact of coproduction process at the viewpoints of economics and environment.
