Summary
PROVIDES will develop a new, sustainable and techno-economically feasible pulping technology for wood and agro-based lignocelluloses. Using a new class of solvents, known as deep eutectic solvents (DES), offers the ability to reduce process energy intensity at least 40%and investment costs by 50% over existing chemical pulping technology.
DESs have the unique ability to dissolve, and thus mildly fractionate, lignin, hemicellulose and cellulose at normal temperature and pressure, allowing for further processing into high added value materials.
The overall aim of PROVIDES is to provide tools that encourage radical innovations and a move towards low-energy mild pulping processes, which provide high quality cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin fractions.
