Introduction
Despite the advancements in the IonoSolv process, several challenges remain. Variability in process efficiency across different biomass types and the impact of specific operational parameters, such as agitation speed and drying conditions, necessitate further investigation. Additionally, the long-term stability and structural consistency of lignin under varying drying methods are not yet fully understood. Addressing these gaps and developing standardized protocols for industrial-scale applications are essential for realizing the economic and practical potential of the IonoSolv process.
Point 1
The scalability of the IonoSolv process is challenged by variability in biomass types and the operational parameters affecting filtration and drying efficiency.
Point 2
The lack of standardized drying protocols and incomplete understanding of the long-term structural stability of lignin under different conditions highlight critical research gaps for advancing industrial applications.
