In their pristine state, starch and lignin are abundant and inexpensive natural polymers
frequently considered green alternatives to oil-based and synthetic polymers. Despite their …

One of the main drawbacks of using biomass as pyrolysis feedstock consists of the huge
variability of the different biomass resources which undermines the viability of downstream …

The four most prominent forms of biomass are cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and chitin. In
efforts to develop sustainable sources of platform molecules there has been an increasing …

Bamboo has just recently emerged as a sustainable source of lignin extraction, paving the
way for the development of sophisticated nano-and biomaterials based on lignin. Catalytic …

Within the biorefining concept, the lignocellulosic biomass wastes can serve as feedstock to
produce value-added chemicals and fuels. The sustainable valorization of biomass is based …

This study leverages the autoclave-assisted method to explore a range of acid catalysts (H 2
SO 4, HCl, HNO 3, H 3 PO 4) and solvents (methanol, ethanol, acetone, 2-butanol, 2 …

In this study, an acidic deep eutectic solvent (DES) was used as a benign solvent to valorise
technical lignins by breaking down their structure into value-added aromatic compounds …

Current techniques of lignin conversion are challenged by the low carbon utilization
efficiency resulting from the severe generation of residual solid (char). Therefore, a better …

Lignin nanoparticles containing saccharides from fishery wastes were prepared as
sustainable biofillers for advanced materials. Organosolv lignin and Kraft lignin were used …

Seven different lignin samples, three from Kraft extraction and four from organosolv
extraction, were subjected to hydrothermal treatment at 260℃ for four hours to assess the …
