Abstract
The optimization of the process of water-ethanol extraction of ethanol-lignin from Siberian larch wood was carried out by calculation methods. A two-parameter mathematical model of the extraction process based on the central second-order Kono composite plan was created. The influence of two parameters - the concentration of aqueous ethanol and temperature - on the yield of ethanollignin was studied. It was shown that the selected parameters are statistically independent of each other. The response surface is a parabolic cylinder.
Optimal conditions for the process of the larch wood extraction which corresponds to the maximum yield of ethanollignin were determined: temperature 220 ° C and ethanol concentration 70% vol.
