Next generation of lignin precipitation process
EF 2018-19
Résumé
The first full-scale lignin extraction plant was commissioned in 2013 at Domtar's Plymouth, North Carolina*pulp mill to produce High-quality lignin, a by-product of the Kraft pulping process. Domtar now markets the*lignin as BioChoiceTM lignin. From its practical experience Domtar is developing the Next Generation Lignin*Precipitation Process for isolating lignin from black liquor in a more efficient and cost effective manner while*reducing its environmental footprint. If the proof of concept is successful, this process could have a significant*impact on the design which is under evaluation for implementation at Domtar. Finally, it will also contribute*sustainability and environmental accountability by a better use of one of Canada's most abundant, renewable*resources, its forests.
