A central feature of most lignocellulosic-biomass-valorization strategies is the
depolymerization of all its three major constituents: cellulose and hemicellulose to simple …

Pulp and paper mill wastewater contains lignin related synthetic, aromatic and chlorinated
chemical compounds. Extracting lignin from pulp and paper mill wastewater is one way of …

Stabilization of reactive intermediates is an enabling concept in biomass fractionation and
depolymerization. Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are intriguing green reaction media for …

Lignin holds the key for maximizing value extraction from lignocellulosic biomass. This is
currently hindered by the application of fractionation methods that significantly alter the …

This study conducted mild organosolv pretreatment of sugarcane bagasse with acetone/
phenoxyethanol/water (APW) solutions to improve sugar production in the subsequent …

Recovering lignin with high β-O-4 content is of prime interest for further high yield
depolymerization in low molecular weight phenolic compounds. Pretreatment of …

In this paper, we describe an approach for producing both high quality and high quantity of
lignin through studying the structural change of lignin during treatment of poplar wood in γ …

A mild lignin‐first acidolysis process (140° C, 40 min) was developed using the benign
solvent dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and ethylene glycol (EG) as a stabilization agent/solvent …

The selective demethylation of aryl methyl ethers is a reaction of high relevance both in the
context of deprotection in organic syntheses as well as in the modification of lignin and lignin …

Lignin is the most abundant aromatic polymer available on earth and is a recalcitrant by-
product in the lignocellulose biomass-based industry. In recent times even though about 1 g …
