Unique Features Of The Solution/equipment - How Is It Different Than What Is Available In The Market:

Traditionally, this chemical has been obtained through a two-stage acid digestion method (BioFine Technology) using plant biomass. But, our process employs a single-step conversion of biomass in a biphasic system to achieve a high concentration in the organic phase, whereby allowing a higher recovery and yielding an industrial-grade chemical for supply. Commercial preparation of this chemical from biomass has not be set up yet.

Indicate Process Followed to arrive at the problem statement for which Solution has been developed:

To provide an alternative solution to handle the enormously produced agri-residues (mainly paddy straw), and to support for the reduction in GHG and particulate emissions through the stubble burning. The process generates a high-value platform molecule from native paddy straw through a single-step method.
