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 …

In pursuit of more sustainable and competitive biorefineries, the effective valorisation of
lignin is key. An alluring opportunity is the exploitation of lignin as a resource for chemicals …

The valorisation of the plant biopolymer lignin is now recognised as essential to enabling
the economic viability of the lignocellulosic biorefining industry. In this context, the “lignin …

Lignin, a major component of lignocellulose, is the largest source of aromatic building blocks
on the planet and harbors great potential to serve as starting material for the production of …

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical that has been used for the manufacturing of
polycarbonate plastics, epoxy resins and other consumer products, including food contact …

Reductive catalytic fractionation (RCF) is a promising approach to fractionate lignocellulose
and convert lignin to a narrow product slate. To guide research towards commercialization …

During the past decade, a growing scientific community is eagerly seeking for effective lignin
valorisation approaches. Thought-out utilisation of the world's most abundant resource of bio …

Here, we show that lignin-first biorefining of poplar can enable the production of dissolving
cellulose pulp that can produce regenerated cellulose, which could substitute cotton. These …

Lignin is one of the most promising renewable sources for aromatic hydrocarbons, while
effective depolymerization towards its constituent monomers is a particular challenge …

Reductive catalytic fractionation (RCF) of lignocellulose is an emerging biorefinery scheme
that combines biomass fractionation with lignin depolymerisation. Central to this scheme is …
