In the lignocellulose biorefinery pilot plant at Fraunhofer CBP in Leuna, we pulp lignocellulose to provide the ingredients (extractives, hemicellulose, lignin, cellulose) with specific properties.
The Organosolv lignin obtained possesses high-quality properties, which is why it is suitable for numerous applications, such as thermoplastics, carbon fibers, but also for applications in pharmaceuticals or cosmetics.

Lignin holds tremendous potential as a precursor for various biobased applications but still challenges science and industry to integrate it into existing or novel material and chemical applications. With its increasing availability on the one hand and the enhanced understanding of materials on the other, potential applications for lignin become more concrete. Hence, this presentation will summarize current activities in the wide field of lignin production and applications in the light of the extraction process, biomass, regional and market aspects.
Do you want to significantly optimize your production costs for the synthesis of fine chemicals and their purity at the same time?
We present a novel and innovative synthesis process for manufacturing fine chemicals , where the final product is generated in a continuous synthesis cascade, ideally within a single reactor. This method significantly enhances process efficiency and makes production more sustainable by shortening retooling times and reducing the amount of energy needed.

An interdisciplinary team of Fraunhofer researchers has developed an innovative synthesis process for the production of fine chemicals. While conventional processes use a sequence of different reactors and stirred tanks, the new process produces the end product in a continuous synthesis cascade, in the best case within a single reactor. The process leads to significantly more efficient process management and more sustainable production thanks to shorter changeover times and lower energy requirements. These benefits have a direct impact on the CO2 emissions of the synthesis process and its costs.
During the workshop, the developments will be presented and the requirements for a transfer to real production will be discussed.
