This paper reviews the application of ionic liquids to the deconstruction and fractionation of
lignocellulosic biomass, in a process step that is commonly called pretreatment. It is divided …

As the attraction of creating biofuels and bio-based chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass
has increased, researchers have been challenged with developing a better understanding …

The present investigation demonstrated pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass rice straw
using natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs), and separation of high-quality lignin and …

We compared the amount of lignin as determined by the three most traditional methods for
lignin measurement in three tissues (sugarcane bagasse, soybean roots and soybean seed …

Herein, a lignin-centered convergent approach to produce either aliphatic or aromatic bio-
hydrocarbons is introduced. First, poplar or spruce wood was deconstructed by a lignin-first …

The degree of polymerization (DP) of cellulose in cellulosic biomass and how it changes
during enzymatic and chemical transformations has remained a fundamental property of …

Switchgrass-and pine wood-derived biochars produced by fast pyrolysis were characterized
to estimate the degree of thermochemical transformation and to assess their potential use as …

Lignin depolymerisation has received considerable attention recently due to the pressing
need to find sustainable alternatives to fossil fuel feedstock to produce chemicals and fuels …

This review considers three aspects of the weathering of wood–natural weathering,
accelerated weathering, and simulated weathering. Natural weathering begins when …

Biodegradable plastics and biocompatible composites, generated from renewable biomass
feedstock, are regarded as promising materials that could replace synthetic polymers and …
