  • PROCESS FOR PRODUCING HIGH VALUE PRODUCTS FROM BIOMASS
    Publication number: 20140234934
    Abstract: A process for converting biomass into high value energy products is provided comprising the steps of: debarking, chipping, and screening wood; separating a plurality of hemicellulose from a plurality of cellulose and lignin; hydrolyzing the plurality of hemicellulose into monosaccharides; fermenting the monosaccharides using immobilized Pachysolen tannophilus; removing the lignin from the plurality of cellulose and lignin; and making a paper pulp from the plurality of cellulose.
