Production of lignin agglomerates

Technology

This invention presents a process and an apparatus for the production of water-insoluble lignin granulates for material and energetic usage. Pulp extraction for manufacturing paper from wood or grasses generates lignin which has a high calorific value in large amounts as a side-product and component of waste liquor. The further use of lignin is prevented especially because of heterogeneity aroma water solubility dust formation and high reactivity.

Benefits

This enables in particular efficient utilization of heat and energy
