Wood components such as cellulose, lignin and hemicelluloses all have potential to be used in biobased value-added products. Once extracted from the wood these components have to be separated and purified from co-extracted compounds. Membrane filtration can be used to achieve this separation and is believed to play an important role in biorefineries.Fouling is the single greatest obstacle to the i
