iOx technolo logy y based d on alkali li-O2 oxidat datio ion n is cost- effici ficient nt and enviro ronm nmentall ally y frie iendl ndly y way to convert rt lignin in into versat satile ile dispe spersant rsants

• Wide range of application possibilities with high market volumes

(over 10 MMT/a)

• LigniOx concrete plasticizers provide:
• 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 coatings)

• Safe and low-cost bulk chemicals (O2, NaOH) used, enabling

integration into biorefineries

iOx) for the conversio sion of variabl iable e lignin-ric ich side-st stream eams s into versatile le dispersa sants, s, especia ially ly high-perfor forma manc nce e concrete e and mortar r plastic icize izers

• 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
