Delignification of Lignocellulosic Biomass
Deivy Andhika Permata, Anwar Kasim, Alfi Asben, Yusniwati
Abstract
Delignification is the process of breaking lignocellulose into lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose. The presence of lignin in lignocellulosic materials results in the limited utilization of cellulose. This article discusses lignin and the delignification process. There are various delignification methods from the literature study, namely physical, chemical, semi-chemical, mechanical, and enzymatic.
