A method for producing a fibrous material from lignocellulose from wood, preferably in the form of wood chips. The lignocellulose material is impregnated with a mixture of sodium sulfite and sodium bisulfite and subsequently undergoes a comminution process in a refiner. Additional chemicals from a mixture of sodium sulfite and sodium bisulfite are directly introduced into the refiner, allowing optimal conditions to be set for both additive flows of chemicals such that the process can be operated in an energetically advantageous manner and corrosion and scale formation in the refiner and subsequent aggregates can be prevented as much as possible.

The presently disclosed subject matter relates to an industrial system for processing various plant materials to produce marketable materials. Particularly, the system integrates subcritical water extraction technology and includes a pre-processing module and a two-stage extractor (processing module) with constant control of temperature, pressure, and/or residence time. In some embodiments, the final product of the disclosed system can include feedstock constituents for biofuel production (sugars and/or oil), biochar, raw materials for various industries (such as pulp for manufacturing paper or cellulose for use in various industries). The disclosed system can be modular or non-modular, stationary or mobile, and can include prefabricated elements with programmed automatic or manual operation so that it can be easily moved and/or assembled on site.

A method according to the present disclosure may includes preparing a urea solution by dissolving urea in distilled water, adding phosphoric acid to the urea solution, adding pulp to the solution in which urea and phosphoric acid are dissolved, heating the solution such that the urea and the phosphoric acid each react with the pulp and preparing nanocellulose by washing the pulp which is completely reacted, and then grinding the pulp, in which a weight of the phosphoric acid is 10 to 50% based on a weight of the pulp.
