The invention relates to the field of
agriculture and to the
pulp and paper industry, and more particularly to methods for
processing cellulose-containing meadow plants. The technical result, which consists in permitting the efficient, comprehensive and waste-free
processing of meadow plants, is achieved in that the claimed method includes first comminuting perennial grass
hay, separating the comminuted
hay into stem, leaf and seed fractions, granulating the leaf fraction to produce
animal feed, re-comminuting the seed and stem fractions, using the seed fraction as an additive to the leaf fraction or for producing a
nutrient medium for cultivating proteins, and using the
chaff of the stem fraction to produce a
cellulose-containing
powder, a
cellulose-containing pulp, cellulose-containing fibre, hydrolysates and
lignin, wherein cellulose-containing
powder is produced by
grinding chaff to a
powder; cellulose-containing pulp is produced by subjecting
chaff to
hydrolysis in a hydrotropic solution, whereupon
hydrolysate is separated from cellulose-containing fibres for the production of
hydrolysate-based fertilizers and the fibres are refined to a cellulose-containing pulp; and cellulose-containing fibre is obtained by subjecting chaff to pre-
hydrolysis in water, whereupon
hydrolysate is separated from the cellulose-containing pulp for use as a
nutrient medium for cultivating
yeast,
protein and microprotein by
bioconversion and the remaining cellulose-containing pulp is subjected to
hydrolysis in a hydrotropic solution to remove
lignin, after which the cellulose-containing pulp is subjected to refining to obtain cellulose-containing fibre and the
lignin-containing filtrate is subjected to separation such that the cooking liquor from the lignin-containing residue can be reused, and the lignin-containing residue is washed with water and then dried.
