Revolutionizing Green Chemical Production with Ultrasound
Biorefining allows low-carbon feedstocks – such as lignocellulosic biomass – to be processed into intermediate chemicals that can be made into renewable plastics for the automotive industry. Sonichem has developed a breakthrough biorefinery technique that uses ultrasonic energy alongside mild organic acids to fractionate softwood sawdust into hemicellulose sugars, microcrystalline cellulose and high-quality lignin.
