Economic Assessment of Supercritical CO2 Extraction of Waxes as Part of a Maize Stover Biorefinery

To date limited work has focused on assessing the economic viability of scCO2 extraction to obtain waxes as part of a biorefinery. This work estimates the economic costs for wax extraction from maize stover. The cost of manufacture (COM) for maize stover wax extraction was found to be €88.89 per kg...
