Carbon fibers (CFs) are made mostly from a non-environmentally friendly polyacrylonitrile
(PAN) and little from rayon. PAN-based CFs, require huge amount of energy for its …

The proper treatment and utilization of kraft black liquor, generated from the pulp and paper
industry through the kraft pulping method, is required to reduce environmental impacts prior …

The desire to have a more sustainable future, with lower emissions of carbon and sulfur to
the atmosphere, a more appropriate reuse and valorization of wastes, and less dependency …

With the increase in lignin availability, materials derived from micro‐and nano‐scale lignin
developed rapidly. However, the tedious processes of raw‐lignin pretreatment and poor …

Kraft lignin is considered residue of process, but the integration of the biorefinery concept is
important to achieve a more sustainable development of kraft pulp mills. Biorefinery is a …

Abstract Vanillin (V), acetovanillone (VO) and vanillic acid (VA) were fractionated after
alkaline depolymerization of lignin. The feed solution had an initial pH of 13.7 and the work …

In many European countries with plentiful forest resources, novel forest‐based businesses
play a key role in the transition from our current fossil‐based economy towards a circular …

Kraft lignin is considered a potential valuable by-product in the pulp industry within the
biorefinery concept. However, kraft lignin is characterized by a complex chemical structure …

The production of liquid fuels and chemicals from biomass is an essential part of
establishing a bioeconomy. Numerous techno‐economic studies have been published on …

A novel lignin-based slow release fertilizer with low environmental impact has been
developed. More precisely, a granulated simple superphosphate fertilizer, consisting of …
