Abstract

Correction for ‘Fractionation of lignocellulosic biomass using the OrganoCat process’ by Philipp M. Grande et al., Green Chem., 2015, 17, 3533–3539.


The authors note that the values for annual earnings and the break-even point concept have been reproduced incorrectly in the conclusion section. The correct data are those quoted on page 5 (second column, and in Fig. 4) of the published paper.

Hence, the correct version of the respective sentence in the conclusion should read:

Thus, the annual earnings increase from 2.4 to 4.4 Mio US$ y−1 and the process could become profitable at a lignin price of ∼90 US$ t−1 (at a moderate annual capacity of 50[thin space (1/6-em)]000 t of wood).

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
