Odour Reduction in Biorefinery Products
Abstract
Lignin is a byproduct of the pulp and paper industry; in Austria alone, kilotons could be made available every year. Currently, this renewable resource is used as fuel for energy generation. Technical application based on lignin, for example in construction materials, are emerging, since they make better use of wood as a resource and offer a higher added value. A major obstacle in the utilization of lignin is its unpleasant smell, which is mostly caused by sulfur compounds. This project aims at reducing odorous compounds in lignin by chemical modification and processing to broaden the application potential for lignin. Analytical methods will be established to judge the outcome of these treatments.
