System-Level Analysis of Lignin Valorization in Lignocellulosic Biorefineries

Summary: We study the economics and energy efficiency of biorefineries employing lignin valorization. We use superstructure-based process synthesis to study different configurations under different types of constraints. Using optimization, we examine the impact of various parameters for lignin valor...
