摘要：In this chapter, we explore the critical role of separation and purification processes in the biorefinery of agricultural and food biomass. Biorefinery, a vital concept for advancing the bioeconomy, involves converting biomass into value-added products through sustainable and efficient technologies. Separation processes are fundamental in achieving high-purity outputs, which are essential for the economic feasibility of biorefinery operations. The chapter presents an in-depth examination of the various separation techniques used, highlighting their importance in isolating bioactive compounds, proteins, and other valuable components from agri-food biomass. The integration of efficient separation methods with other biorefinery operations can significantly improve product quality, increase yields, and lower production costs. Beginning with extraction processes, the chapter discusses how well-designed extraction techniques enhance scalability and achieve high-quality outputs. The chapter further provides detailed discussions on other separation methods, membrane and chromatography purifications. The focus throughout is on understanding how these processes contribute to the broader biorefinery framework, ensuring both environmental sustainability and industrial scalability within the agri-food sector. ? 2025 Elsevier Inc.
