Value-added Products from Lignocellulosic Biomass and Bio-digestate

High purity bio-porous silica (~99%), high specific surface area porous carbon (~1500 m2/g), high yield lignin and cellulose are derived with zero-discharge, ecofriendly and scalable process.

• Process for the production of multiple high-value products such as bio-porous silica, lignin, cellulose, and porous carbon with high specific surface area (~1500 m2/g) from lignocellulosic biomass and bio-digestate.
• Employs a strategic zero-waste approach to significantly reduce the environmental burden and carbon footprint.

• Green electronics, energy storage, and sustainable materials industries.
• Biosilica: Rubber industry as a reinforcing filler, additive in building construction, drug delivery studies, bio-imaging, biosensors, supercapacitors, and as a support in catalysis.
• Lignin: biofuel, antibacterial agent, UV-resistant, textile, pharmaceutical, herbicide, pesticide, binder, additive, chemical industry, copolymer, stabilizer, dispersant, and catalysis.
• Cellulose: Paper and textile industries, polymers, pharmaceuticals, biomedical applications, water purification membranes, biofuels and platform chemicals.
• Porous carbon: Energy storage devices, water/air purification, pharma industry, agricultural, electronic, and catalysis.
