Fig. 1. Description of the present wood fractionation experimental study and lignin solubilization mechanism.

Fig. 1

(A) Schematic flow diagram shows wood fractionation using p-TsOH for the production of fibers, lignocellulosic nanomaterials, sugars, and LNPs. Processes with dashed lines were not carried out in this study. (B) Schematics of carbohydrate and lignin solubilization by p-TsOH (Cp-TsOH > MHC) and precipitation (Cp-TsOH ≤ MHC).
