Efficiently producing second-generation biofuels from biomass is of strategic significance
and meets sustainability targets, but it remains a long-term challenge due to the existence of …

The complexity of lignin and hemicellulose segmentation has been known since the middle
of the ninetieth century. Studies confirmed that all lignin units in coniferous species and 47 …

Lignin is an abundant biopolymer with a high carbon content and high aromaticity. Despite
its potential as a raw material for the fuel and chemical industries, lignin remains the most …

This paper reports a new method of applying Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) for extracting
lignin from woody biomass with high yield and high purity. DES mixtures prepared from …

Crop residue management remains a major problem in the Indian agriculture sector. The in-
situ firing of crop residues has been linked to air pollution, global warming, soil fertility …

A clean and efficient fractionation of biomass into cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin
streams is a key step in biofuel and biorefinery industries. Lignin-free cellulose and …

Technical lignins are bulk feedstocks. They are generated as byproducts from pulping or
cellulosic ethanol production. As lignin undergoes significant structural changes as a result …

Lignin, an aromatic polymer found in plants, has been studied for years in many biological
fields. Initially, when biofuel was produced from lignocellulosic biomass, lignin was regarded …

Pre‐treatment to increase cellulose enzymatic hydrolyzability is a prerequisite step for
bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass. The final objective of pre‐treatment is to increase …

Through catalytic hydrogen transfer reactions, a new biorefining method results in the
isolation of depolymerized lignin—a non‐pyrolytic lignin bio‐oil—in addition to pulps that …
