Abstract
The production of C5 and C6 sugars from lignocellulosic feedstocks leads to mixtures of impure products. Purification, especially salt removal, is therefore a key step to obtain high purity and commercially viable products. This paper describes and discusses the purification technologies available for desalting applications. A case study about xylose desalting highlights the importance of choosing and combining the right technologies for a given application to ensure cost-effectiveness and to reach target product specifications.
