Abstract: A wood-derived lignin composition is disclosed. The wood-derived lignin composition comprises: - acid-insoluble lignin in an amount of 80 - 90 weight-% based on the total dry matter content of the lignin composition, wherein the average molecular weight of the lignin is 5000 - 15000 Da; -carbohydrates in an amount of 1.5 - 15 weight-% based on the total dry matter content of the lignin composition; - nitrogen in an amount of 0.2 - 1.5 weight-% based on the total dry matter content of the lignin composition; and wherein weight ratio of oxygen to carbon is at least 0.5 Further is disclosed a method for producing the wood-derived lignin composition.

Abstract: A hardwood-derived carbohydrate composition is disclosed. The hardwood-derived carbohydrate composition comprises monomeric sugars in an amount of 50-80 weight-% based on the total dry matter content of the carbohydrate composition, wherein the monomeric sugars include monomeric glucose and monomeric xylose, the amount of monomeric xylose in the carbohydrate composition being 40-60 weight-% based on the total dry matter content of the carbohydrate composition, and the weight ratio of monomeric glucose to monomeric xylose being 0.067-0.2. Disclosed is also a method for producing a wood-derived carbohydrate composition.

Abstract: A method for producing mono-ethylene glycol (MEG) from a wood-based raw material, and wherein method includes: i) providing a wood-based feedstock originating from the wood-based raw material and including wood chips, wherein at most 5 weight-% of the wood chips in the wood-based feedstock are overthick wood chips as specified by SCAN-CM 40:01, and subjecting the wood-based feedstock to at least one pretreatment to form a liquid fraction and a fraction including solid cellulose particles; ii) subjecting the fraction comprising solid cellulose particles to enzymatic hydrolysis to form a lignin fraction and a carbohydrate fraction; iii) subjecting the carbohydrate fraction to catalytical conversion to form a liquid composition of glycols; and iv) recovering mono-ethylene glycol from the liquid composition of glycols. Further is disclosed a corresponding arrangement and mono-ethylene glycol obtainable by the method.

Abstract: In a method and an apparatus furfural is recovered from a steam stream (3) which is formed in a treatment of a pretreated wood based material (1). The pretreated wood based material (1) which comprises at least carbohydrates is treated in a steam treatment stage (2) in which the steam is released. The steam stream (3) which comprises furfural is supplied out from the steam treatment stage (2). A pretreated and steam-treated wood based material (4) which comprises carbohydrates is supplied out from the steam treatment stage (2), and the steam stream (3) is treated in a recovery stage (12a, 12b) for recovering a furfural based fraction (14a,14b).
