Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for purifying, such as salt/ion depletion, and/or ash reduction,and/or sulphur removal, and/or free sugar depletion,and/or VOC depletion or fractionating,preferably by using dewatering, of a slurry comprising a lignin or lignin derivative or a combination thereof. A lignin or lignin derivative obtainable from said process and uses thereof are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for purifying a slurry comprising cellulose, such as microfibrillated cellulose, wherein the process comprises the following steps: - providing a slurry comprising cellulose and liquid, - subjecting the slurry to an electric field inducing the liquid of the slurry to flow, - separating the liquid from the cellulose thus obtaining a liquid depleted slurry, - adding a washing liquid, such as an organic solvent, to the liquid depleted slurry - subjecting the liquid depleted slurry to an electric field inducing the washing liquid of the slurry to flow and - separating the washing liquid from the cellulose, thus obtaining a purified cellulose. The invention also relates to cellulose such as microfibrillated cellulose obtainable from said process.

Abstract:
Proceso para retirar azufre, usando deshidratación, de una suspensión que comprende una lignina, en donde el proceso comprende las siguientes etapas: a) proporcionar una suspensión que comprende lignina, b) someter la suspensión a un campo eléctrico que induce el flujo del líquido y las moléculas, especies o componentes polares del mismo, tales como iones, de la suspensión, opcionalmente combinados con una fuerza de presión y/o una fuerza de succión, c) separar el líquido de la lignina, obteniendo de ese modo una lignina purificada agotada líquida, opcionalmente en forma de suspensión.
Abstract:
Process for purifying a slurry comprising cellulose by salt/ion depletion and/or free sugar depletion. The process comprises the following steps of providing a slurry comprising cellulose and liquid, subjecting the slurry to a first application of an electric field inducing the liquid of the slurry to flow, separating the liquid from the cellulose thus obtaining a liquid depleted slurry, adding a washing liquid to the liquid depleted slurry, subjecting the liquid depleted slurry to a second application of an electric field inducing the washing liquid of the slurry to flow and separating the washing liquid from the cellulose, thus obtaining a purified cellulose.
Abstract:
Proceso de purificación, tal como empobrecimiento de sal/ion y/o empobrecimiento de azúcar libre, preferiblemente usando deshidratación, de una suspensión que comprende celulosa, tal como celulosa microfibrilada, en donde el proceso comprende las siguientes etapas: - proporcionar una suspensión que comprende celulosa y líquido, - someter la suspensión a un campo eléctrico, que induce a fluir al líquido de la suspensión, - separar el líquido de la celulosa, obteniendo así una suspensión empobrecida en líquido, - añadir un líquido de lavado, tal como un disolvente orgánico, a la suspensión empobrecida en líquido, - someter la suspensión empobrecida en líquido a un campo eléctrico, que induce a fluir al líquido de lavado de la suspensión y - separar el líquido de lavado de la celulosa, obteniendo así una celulosa purificada.
