Lignin solvolysis from the plant cell wall is the critical first step in lignin depolymerization processes involving whole biomass feedstocks. However, little is known about the coupled reaction kinetics and transport phenomena that govern effective rates of lignin extraction…

We present the capabilities and software performance metrics of our open-source continuum solver for catalysis, Mesoflo, developed specifically for modeling transport and chemistry at the mesoscale…
