Hydrotropic Extraction of Lignin from Vegetation Mass

Abstract

The current involves optimizing the extraction of lignin from dried leaf vegetation using the hydrotrope, a green solvent at low temperature and pressure. The optimum parameters for lignin extraction were 30% w/v of hydrotrope NaXS, 373 K extraction temperature, and 12.5% w/w leaf loading concentration. Thermal energy applied during the process disturbs the bonds within the lingo-cellulosic structures and increases the movement of the molecules and subsequently increases the mass transfer, and assists in the solubilization of the plant material.
