Lignocellulose-based processes for production of value-added products still face
bottlenecks to attain feasibility. The key might lie on the biorefining of all lignocellulose main …

The concept of a biorefinery that provides valuable bioproducts from biomass conversion
instead of fossil based products is presented. One of the main biorefinery products …

Rice is the main staple crop of India, where it covers about 44 million hectares of arable land
for the cultivation. To tackle the problem of in situ field burning of rice straw in various states …

Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant renewable source of bioenergy. However, its
intertwined structures prevent the embedded cellulose and hemicellulose from undergoing …

Bio-based rigid polyurethane foams (B-RPF) were synthesized from fractionated lignin with
high functionality and low molar mass. In this process, ethanol organosolv fractionation was …

Vanillin plays an important role not only in food and flavouring, but also as a platform
compound for the synthesis of other valuable products, mainly derived from the oxidative …

Exhausted olive pomace (EOP) is the main residue of the pomace olive oil extracting
industry. In this work, EOP was fractionated into valuable components for valorisation: an …

Membrane technology is a sustainable process of molecular separation and purification in
the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, with lower energy consumption than traditional …

Pyrolytic lignin is the water-insoluble fraction of the bio-oil from rapid pyrolysis. The
separation of pyrolytic lignin can improve the extraction of monophenols. Studies reveal the …

A novel procedure for selective production of biomass-based compounds by
electrochemical conversion has been developed in this work. At ambient pressure and mild …
