Research progress on biorefinery of lignocellulosic biomass

Abstract

The basic concepts of biorefinery and several models of today's biorefinery chemical platforms are introduced. According to the different utilization types of cellulose, it is divided into biorefining based on pulp and paper and biorefining based on fuel ethanol. It is proposed that biomass component separation technology is the core of biorefinery. The application of eutectic solvents in biorefinery was introduced around the separation of components. It was pointed out that the application of eutectic solvents to biorefinery is promising.
