Despite the enormous research efforts in recent years regarding lignin depolymerisation and
functionalisation, few commercial products are available. This review provides a summary …

Lignin is a remarkable natural polyphenol that provides trees with physical and (bio-)
chemical resistance, as well as the ability to reach considerable heights. Lignin is also …

The use of lignin for material and chemical applications has gained interest in recent times
due to the environmental focus on using biomass for renewable materials as well as the …

Bio-oil derived from fast pyrolysis of lignocellulosic materials is among the most complex
and inexpensive raw oils that can be produced today. Although commercial or …

Recent advances in lignocellulosic biomass valorization for producing fuels and
commodities (olefins and BTX aromatics) are gathered in this paper, with a focus on the …

Currently, recyclable acid hydrotropes (p-TsOH), deep eutectic solvents (DES, ChCl-Lac),
and ionic liquids (IL,[Amim][Cl]) are receiving increasing attention due to their superior …

Fossil fuels are a cheap and abundant feedstock for polymeric materials that have enabled
innumerable quality-of-life improvements. Yet, their declining supply and non-renewable …

The valorization of lignin that derives as by product in various biomass conversion
processes has become a major research and technological objective. The potential of the …

This short critical review gives an insight on the potential that lignin and its bio-oils present
towards the production of thermosetting epoxy polymers and composites. Green and …

Membrane processes, whose low energy and operating costs make them competitive for
gas separation compared to other conventional methods such as pressure swing …
