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 …

The anthropologic impact on climate has reached a critical level given that society relies on
non-renewable fossil resources for energy. Thus, to alleviate this, lignins can play a key role …

The valorization of organosolv pretreatment (OP) is a required approach to the
industrialization of the current enzyme-mediated lignocellulosic biorefinery. Recent literature …

Lignin is by far the most abundant natural renewable aromatic polymer in nature, and its
reserves are second only to cellulose. In addition to the rich carbon content, the structure of …

Unsatisfactory solubility and recalcitrant condensed structures of isolated lignins (technical
lignins) severely limit their processability into renewable materials, fuels, and chemicals …

In the present work, depolymerization of isolated lignin from organosolv fractionation of
bagasse in the presence of several homogeneous and heterogeneous acid catalysts was …

Lignin is a complex aromatic heteropolymer that harbors great potential to serve as a basis
for the production of chemicals, biofuels, and materials. In a bio-economy, lignin valorization …

The ultrasound-assisted depolymerization of lignin was successfully conducted over a
synthesized PTA/MCM-41 catalyst under different reaction conditions. Firstly, the structure of …

Lignocellulosic biomass contains lignin, an aromatic and oxygenated substance and a
potential method for lignin utilization is achieved through catalytic conversion into useful …

The depolymerization of lignin to produce renewable value-added building block chemicals
has received increased attention from both industry and academia, as its facilitation is a key …
