The CIMV organosolv Process B. Benjelloun
2 BIOREFINERY CONCEPT THE CIMV PROCESS Based on the oil refining model. Promote 100% of the non-food Biomass in Biofuels and/or Bioproducts. High feedstocks fexilibility (straw, bagasse, hardwood, etc.). bio-based products : Biolignin TM, Cellulose pulp, C 5 sugars syrup..
3 CIMV PROCESS : ORGANOSOLV TECHNOLOGY 9 Patents Raw Material (wood, straw, bagasse, ) Mechanical conditioning CIMV 1 Organic refining Sugars & Lignin CIMV 3 Organics acids recycling Cellulose CIMV 2 CIMV 6 CIMV 4 & 5 Delignification Separation lignins / sugars Deacidification CIMV 7 Washing Enzymatic hydrolysis BIOLIGNIN TM C 5 SUGARS SYRUP CELLULOSIC PULP GLUCOSE CIMV8&9

7 BIOLIGNIN AIL+ASL : 91 % Residual hemicellulose : 2 % Proteins: 6-8% Ashes < 1% Molecular Weight : Mw =1500 Mn=1000 Hydroxyl groups ( mmol/g of DM) : 1.2 mmol aliphatic OH 1.8 mmol phenolic OH 0.9 mmol esterified aliphatic OH
8 BIOLIGNIN TM Applications Phenolic resins Reinforcing agent for Rubbers Polyurethanes, polyesters Advantages substitution of phenol (60 to 80% substitution rate) Direct use for the Industry. A product for the green chemistry.
9 CELLULOSE PULP/GLUCOSE Characteristics Hemicellulose content Lignin content 6-10% 1-1.5% Ashes 1-2% Fiber length (average) 650-700 µm DPv ~1000 C6 pulp composition Glucan Xylan ashes lignin High purity Glucose
10 CELLULOSE PULP / GLUCOSE Applications Paper Bioethanol Chemicals Advantages TCF Pulp (printing and domestic paper). Non-food origin glucose 2G Biofuels.
11 C 5 SUGARS SYRUP others: 13.8% waxes:3.2% furfural: 0.005 tannins and phenolic compounds : 7.5% proteins :6.5% Xylan:28% Arabinan: 4.5% Mannan: 1.5% purification High xylose concentration Galactan : 3% salts: 20% Glucan: 10% Wheat Straw C5 syrup
12 C 5 SUGARS SYRUP Applications Additives for animal feed Bioethanol xylitol Furanic chemistry Advantages Increase ethanol yield in the biorefinery Xylose for high value products synthesis Integrated production of Furfural
13 OTHER PRODUCTS Non-sugar fraction : in case of C5 fraction purification, the remained fraction is used as fertilizer ( contains minerals,proteins, etc ) Silica : can be extracted from wheat and rice straws
