Structural characterization of soluble lignin in the pre-hydrolysis liquor of bamboo-willow dissolving pulp [PDF]
BioResources, 2019 The soluble lignin present in the pre-hydrolysis liquor (PHL) is detrimental for value-added utilization of the PHL from production of kraft-based dissolving pulp. In this paper, the soluble lignin was separated from PHL by activated carbon adsorption and subsequent desorption with methanol.
