Hydrothermal process is an emerging technology that contributes to sustainable production
of biomass-derived chemicals, fuels, and materials. This technology uses hot compressed …

The efficient valorization of lignin could dictate the success of the 2nd generation biorefinery.
Lignin, accounting for on average a third of the lignocellulosic biomass, is the most …

Hemicelluloses, a family of heterogeneous polysaccharides with complex molecular
structures, constitute a fundamental component of lignocellulosic biomass. However, the …

Replacing fossil-based resources with renewable alternatives is generally acknowledged as
a critical component to address several of today's environmental concerns. In this context …

Lignin is a readily available yet heavily underutilised resource due to its severe degree of
variability related to the plant source and to the processes employed for its isolation. Being …

Green and low cost deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are promising to replace the solid acids
and ionic liquids in biomass fractionation process. To enhance the lignocellulose …

Based on the field of ReaxFF, the pretreatment of a lignin–carbohydrate complex model in a
choline chloride-based deep eutectic solvent was proposed. The results showed that the β …

Lignin is a renewable and the most abundant aromatic source that can be used for extensive
chemicals and materials. Although approximately 50 million tons of lignin are produced …

Studies have shown that the size of LNP depends on the molecular weight (Mw) of lignin.
There is however need for deeper understanding on the role of molecular structure on LNP …

The current biorefineries are focused on the comprehensive fractionation of biomass
components into separate lignin and carbohydrate fractions for the production of materials …
