At initial laboratory optimization, a mild extraction of lignin was performed with 1 M NaOH at 90 °C to dissolve the lignin, that was further precipitated with sulfuric acid and this formed an easily filtrable powder. The main sub-product was a solid residue enriched in cellulose, which was successfully saccharified and tested for its fermentability. Further upscaling of the method was done at Bio Based Europe Pilot Plant (BBEPP) in Belgium. In a first run 14.2 kg of purified poplar lignin was obtained and in a second run 128.6 kg was obtained. The wet fiber residue was processed by washing and enzymatic hydrolysis to obtain, 26.7 kg of concentrated sugar solution with 509.4 g/L of glucose.12082561enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessjournal article10.1016/j.indcrop.2020.112869BiorefineryHydrolysis lignin2,3-butanediolPurificationUpscalingBiorefineryHydrolysis lignin2,3-butanediolPurificationUpscalingAgronomy and Crop ScienceSDG 7 - Affordable and Clean EnergyProject IDinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/723670/EU/Systemic approach to Reduce Energy demand and CO2 emissions of processes that transform agroforestry waste into High Added value Products/REHAPinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/723670/EU/Systemic approach to Reduce Energy demand and CO2 emissions of processes that transform agroforestry waste into High Added value Products/REHAPFunding InfoEuropean Union´s H2020, GA no. 723670, REHAPEuropean Union´s H2020, GA no. 723670, REHAPhttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=85090349729&partnerID=8YFLogxK
