Sustainable biopolyol production via solvothermal liquefaction silvergrass saccharification residue: Experimental, economic, and environmental approach

With the rising environmental concern, sustainable chemistry should be accomplished by considering technical, economic, and environmental factors that guarantee the successful implementation of new alternative products. Hence, we performed the integrated techno-economic and life cycle assessment for two-step solvothermal liquefaction (two-pot synthesis) and simplified solvothermal liquefaction (one-pot synthesis) based on experiment results. Based on the itemized cost estimation, the unit biopolyol production costs obtained from the two-pot synthesis and one-pot synthesis were 10.0 $ kg
