Abstract | The capacity of processing biomass into marketable products and energy is known as biorefinery. By-products from several agro-industrial industries can be used as raw materials, from where added-value products with vast applications in many industries can be extracted. Lignocellulosic materials are a typical example of a waste product that is widely applied in biorefinery. However, in order to follow the green chemistry principles, sustainable techniques must be applied. The use of supercritical fluids (SCF), such as sCO2 or subcritical water, have been widely used for the separation, extraction or hydrolysis of lignocellulosic material. Still, there are other green solvents such as ionic liquids or deep eutectic solvents that can be used in combination with supercritical fluids. |
