LigniOx iOx technol olog ogy for versatil atile e lignin dispersa ersants ts • LigniOx technolog ogy based on alkali-O 2 oxidation on is cost- efficient and environm onmental ally friendly way to convert lignin into versat atile dispersan ants • Wide range of application possibilities with high market volumes (over 10 MMT/a) • LigniOx concrete plasticizers provide: No plasticiz icizer er Superpla last sticiz icizer er, 0.2% Higher performance compared to lignosulfonate • admixtures Comparable performance with synthetic superplasticizers at • higher dosage • Good performance also as gypsum plasticizer and dispersant of various inorganic pigments and fillers (e.g. for paints and LigniOx Ox lignin , 0.4% Ligno nosulf sulfonate, e, 0.4% coatings) Patents: s: • Safe and low-cost bulk chemicals (O 2 , NaOH) used, enabling FI201 0135 3598 986, 6, US9676667 67 (granted) WO201 015/ 5/049 049424 424 (pending) integration into biorefineries WO201 017/ 7/07 07719 198 8 A1 ( (pending) www.ligniox.eu 3 29/11/2017
Main objectives ectives of LigniOx iOx To demonst strate ate the techno-econ onom omic viability y of alkal ali-O2 2 oxida dation on technol olog ogy y (LigniOx) for the conversion sion of variabl ble lignin-rich side-st stream ams into versatil atile dispersan sants, s, especial ally y high-per perfor forman ance concrete and mortar ar plast sticizers • Demonstrate both the oxidation technology and the end-product performance at operational conditions • Enable industrial process installations integrated into the lignocellulosic biorefineries or stand-alone units operated by chemical industry • Enable market entry of novel lignin based concrete and mortar plasticizers to replace the current synthetic superplasticizers and lignosulphonate products • Create new business opportunities for the lignocellulosic biorefineries, technology providers and chemical industry www.ligniox.eu 4 29/11/2017
