Publication of a scientific paper in a special issue of the journal "Forests"
A study carried out by researchers from the c5Lab, the CQE - Center for Structural Chemistry, and CERENA - Center for Natural Resources and the Environment identified and quantified, for the first time, the sugar content of the aqueous extract of the bio-oil produced by the thermochemical liquefaction of Eucalyptus globulus sawdust, using the HPLC chromatographic methodology.
Published on April 27, in the special issue "Development and Utilization of High-Value Products from Woody Biomass" of the scientific journal “Forests”, the article provides relevant data that can be used for other processes, such as chemical building blocks, substrates for fermentation processes or for the production of sustainable polymers.
Eucalyptus globulus sawdust is an underutilized and undervalued residue from the pulp and paper industry. Its thermochemical liquefaction can be considered an alternative for recycling this waste, using it as a sustainable and renewable resource for the production of value-added chemical compounds.
