Biphasic 1-butanol/water delignification of miscanthus for manufacturing papermaking pulp, TAPPI Journal August 2026

ABSTRACT: Miscanthus has emerged as a promising nonwoody fiber source for papermaking and fiber molding as the world has sought alternatives to wood-based products. A diverse range of chemistries have been explored at the laboratory scale to turn nonwoody biomass into fibers; however, few have been successful at pilot or commercial scales. An emerging organosolv delignification chemistry that has demonstrated previous technical success is butanol/water, having been shown to produce papers with similar properties to other, more conventional chemistries, but offering the benefit of a built-in sugar and lignin coproduct separation. While a range of fiber lengths were achieved (0.45•0.95 mm), addition of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to the butanol/water delignification chemistry resulted in fiber lengths comparable to commercially available hardwood pulps (0.7•1.0 mm). Lignin concentration was reduced from 19.1 wt% in the raw miscanthus to under 3.5 wt% for most trials. The lowest lignin concentration (2.5 wt%) was achieved at 180°C for 180 min with 50:50 butanol:water and 2 wt% acetic acid. Yet, the high severity of this condition (and similar ones) resulted in a significant truncation of fiber length, which is detrimental for papermaking applications. The highest quality pulp for papermaking was generated at 180°C for 180 min with 50:50 butanol:water and 10 wt% NaOH. This pulp had one of the longest fiber lengths, the highest brightness, and the highest hemicellulose concentration. Thus, butanol/water delignification, especially with NaOH addition, resulted in the successful production of cellulose-rich pulps that have potential in commercial papermaking and fiber molding applications.
