    Abstract: A process to delignify biomass, said process comprising the steps of:



    providing a vessel;
    providing biomass comprising lignin, hemicellulose and cellulose fibers into said vessel;
    providing a aqueous acidic composition comprising a sulfuric acid component;
    providing a peroxide component;
    exposing said biomass to said sulfuric acid component and peroxide component, creating a reaction mass;
    allowing said sulfuric acid component and peroxide component to come into contact with said biomass for a period of time sufficient to a delignification reaction to occur and remove over 90 wt % of said lignin and hemicellulose from said biomass; and
    controlling the temperature of the delignification reaction to maintain it below 55° C.

    Abstract: Method of delignification of plant material, said method comprising:



    providing said plant material comprising cellulose fibres and lignin;
    exposing said plant material requiring to a composition comprising:

    an acid;
    a modifiying agent selected from the group consisting of: sulfamic acid; imidazole; N-alkylimidazole; taurine; a taurine derivative; a taurine-related compound; alkylsulfonic acid; arylsulfonic acid; triethanolamine; and combinations thereof;
    a metal oxide; and
    a peroxide;

    for a period of time sufficient to remove substantially all (at least 80%) of the lignin present on said plant material.

    Abstract: A one-pot process to separate lignin from a lignocellulosic feedstock includes providing a vessel; providing a lignocellulosic feedstock; providing a composition comprising an acid, a modifying agent comprising a carbonyl-containing nitrogenous base compound, and a peroxide; exposing the lignocellulosic feedstock to the composition in the vessel for a period of time sufficient to remove at least 80% of the lignin present in the lignocellulosic feedstock; and optionally, removing a liquid phase comprising dissolved lignin fragments from a solid phase comprising cellulose fibres.
