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.

Abstract: A method for removing the constituents of a biomass into separate streams, where said method comprises the following steps:
Step 1: providing a biomass feedstock comprising: cellulose; hemicellulose; and lignin;
Step 2: exposing said biomass to a first acidic composition comprising an acid selected from the group consisting of: mineral acids; organic acids; modified acids; synthetic acids; and combinations thereof; for a first period of time sufficient to dissolve at least 50% of the hemicellulose present in said biomass;
Step 3: separating and recovering into a first liquid stream, the dissolved hemicellulose from the remaining biomass;
Step 4: exposing the remaining biomass mixture to a modified Caro's acid selected from the group consisting of:
composition A; composition B and Composition C;
wherein said composition A comprises:
sulfuric acid in an amount ranging from 20 to 70 wt % of the total weight of the composition;
a compound comprising an amine moiety and a sulfonic acid moiety selected from the group consisting of: taurine; taurine derivatives; and taurine-related compounds; and
a peroxide;
wherein said composition B comprises:
an alkylsulfonic acid; and
a peroxide; wherein the acid is present in an amount ranging from 40 to 80 wt % of the total weight of the composition and where the peroxide is present in an amount ranging from 10 to 40 wt % of the total weight of the composition;
wherein said composition C comprises:
sulfuric acid;
a compound comprising an amine moiety;
a compound comprising a sulfonic acid moiety; and
a peroxide;
for a first period of time sufficient to dissolve enough of the lignin present in said remaining biomass mixture to obtain a kappa number for the cellulose of less than 5;
for a first period of time sufficient to dissolve enough of the lignin present in said remaining biomass mixture to obtain a kappa number for the cellulose of less than 5;
Step 5: recovering into a second liquid stream the dissolved lignin from the resulting reaction mixture, wherein said solid portion comprises cellulose fibers with, at most, 7.5 wt % hemicellulose.-
