Milox fractionation of empty fruit bunches from Elaeis guineensis

► Study of fractionation of empty fruit bunches (residual lignocellulosic material from the palm oil industry). ► Study of the 1st Milox stage to find optimal operating conditions. ► Study of the 2nd Milox stage to determine optimum time without considerable cellulose degradation. ► Using mathematical models to predict properties of pulps. ► Characterization of the residual liquor from 1st Milox stage (lignin and sugars).
