    摘要: The present invention relates to (1) a process for producing a hydroxyalkyl cellulose having an excellent water-solubility while maintaining a high reaction selectivity by adding a basic compound and an alkyleneoxide to a cellulose to conduct a reaction therebetween in which the basic compound is added in a total amount of from 0.3 to 1.5 mol per 1 mol of an anhydroglucose unit in the cellulose, and the alkyleneoxide is added in a total amount of from 1.0 to 3.0 mol per 1 mol of an anhydroglucose unit in the cellulose, the process including a step of adding the basic compound in an amount of from 50 to 95% of the total amount of the basic compound to be added during the process, and then adding the alkyleneoxide in an amount of from 30 to 80% of the total amount of the alkyleneoxide to be added during the process to react the compounds with the cellulose, thereby obtaining a reaction mixture; and a step of adding a remaining amount of the basic compound and a remaining amount of the alkyleneoxide to the reaction mixture obtained in the previous step to conduct a reaction therebetween; (2) a hydroxyalkyl cellulose produced by the process; and (3) a process for producing a cationized hydroxyalkyl cellulose using the resulting hydroxyalkyl cellulose.

    摘要: The present invention generally provides methods of improving lignin separation during lignocellulosic biorefining, comprising the steps of (i) catalyzing fractionation or hydrolysis with an acid to release sugars into an acidified solution containing lignin, (ii) neutralizing the acidified solution with a base to form a salt in a neutralized solution; (iii) in a separation unit, separating the salt and the lignin, each in free or combined form, from the neutralized solution; and then (iv) recycling a portion of the salt and optionally a portion of the lignin to step (i) to combine, physically or chemically, with the lignin, to improve lignin separation in the separation unit. In certain embodiments, the acid is a sulfur-containing acid and the base is lime, forming gypsum which is then recycled, in part, to the hydrolysis reactor.
