description | [Image: see text] The interest in the bark and the attempt to add value to its utilization have increased over the last decade. By applying an integrated bark biorefinery approach, it is possible to investigate the recovery of compounds that can be used to develop green and sustainable alternatives to fossil-based materials. In this work, the focus is on extracting Norway spruce (Picea abies) bark lignin via organosolv extraction. Following the removal of the extractives and the subcritical water extraction to remove the polysaccharides, a novel cyclic organosolv extraction procedure was applied, which enabled the recovery of lignin with high quality and preserved structure. Main indicators for low degradation and preservation of the lignin structure were a high β-O-4′ content and low amounts of condensed structures. Furthermore, high purity and low polydispersity of the lignin were observed. Thus, the obtained lignin exhibits high potential for use in the direct development of polymer precursors and other bio-based materials. During the extraction sequence, around 70% of the bark was extracted. Besides the lignin, the extractives as well as pectic polysaccharides and hemicelluloses were recovered with only minor degradation, which could potentially be used for the production of biofuel or other high-value products such as emulsifiers or adhesives. |
