Biomass pyrolysis has been the focus of study by several researchers as a viable means of
producing biofuels and other useful products. This paper gives a comprehensive, elaborate …

At a time when environmental considerations are increasingly pushing for the application of
circular economy concepts in materials science, lignin stands out as an under-used but …

The objective of this chapter is to provide a concise overview of lignin composition and
structure in different species and materials (wood, barks and nonwood plants). It includes a …

Two archeological wood samples were studied by attenuated total reflectance Fourier
transform infrared (FTIR–ATR) spectroscopy. They originate from a shipwreck in Ribadeo …

The composition and structure of lignin in different tissues—phellem (cork), phloem and
xylem (wood)—of Quercus suber was studied. Whole cell walls and their respective isolated …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of temperature and reaction time on the
primary pyrolysis of cellulose and xylan. Fast pyrolysis of cellulose and xylan was carried out …

Chinese quince fruit (CQF) contains abundant pectin; however, the pectin cannot be
efficiently separated by conventional approaches because of strong lignin-carbohydrate …

Ancient trees are natural wonders because of their longevity, having lived for hundreds or
thousands of years, and their ability to withstand changing environments and a variety of …

Understanding the distribution and structural features of lignin in heartwood, sapwood, and
bark of terrestrial plants is important to optimize the industrial utilization of lignocellulose. In …

A comparison of sequenced Agaricomycotina genomes suggests that efficient degradation
of wood lignin was associated with the appearance of secreted peroxidases with a solvent …
