Lignin is one of the major components in lignocellulosic biomass and the most abundant aromatic building block in nature. Technical lignins extracted from either pulping or biorefining processes provide a variety of complex ...

In this thesis, lignin/tannin nanoparticles (LNP/TNP) from different sources and processes were synthesized by nanoprecipitation method using lignin/acetone (and tannin/acetone) as solvents, and distilled water was used ...

As the world is transitioning away from fossil fuels, lignocellulosic biomass is scrutinized as a source of renewable fuels and chemicals. Political motivations and environmental concerns have increased the research in ...

Hydrolysis lignin is a by-product of bioethanol production. In the hydrolysis step, lignin is separated from the raw material; wood or starch. There are enormous dumps of lignin residue in the former Soviet Union. The ...

In the 1940s, efforts towards lignin valorisation were triggered by high oil prices, but today, the motives are much more varied. The movement towards a greener future to combat climate change and the expected introduction ...
