Cascade fractionation of birch into xylose, glucan oligomers, and noncondensed lignin improved using microwave assistance and molten salt hydrates

Microwave-assisted isolations of hemicellulose, cellulose dissolutions in LiBr-MSH to separate out lignin, and cellulose hydrolysis were proposed to fractionate birch lignocelluloses into xylose, glucan oligomers, and noncondensed lignin.
