Lignin, an aromatic macromolecule synthesized by all higher plants, is one of the most
intriguing natural materials for utilization across a wide range of applications …

Biopulping can be an alternative to the traditional methods of pulping. Biopulping use fungi
that are known to be able to degrade wood as well as lignin constituent of wood. Amongst …

The biodegradation of lignocellulosic materials is an important natural process because it is
responsible for the carbon recycling. When induced under controlled conditions, this …

Lignin is a macro polymer with aromatic structure and is a highly promising renewable
carbon source for valuable chemicals and energy. It is available in huge quantities as a by …

The primary goal of this study was to determine the optimal condition to obtain fermentable
monosaccharides (xylose and glucose) from hydrolysates of yellow poplar (Liriodendron …

Although the biosynthesis of oxalic acid is known to occur in a number of bacteria, the
mechanism (s) regulating its production remains largely unknown. To date, there is no report …

Diethyl oxalate (DEO) was injected into a digester containing wood chips (pine, spruce, or
aspen) preheated to 130–140° C and held for 30 min at the same temperature. When …

Aromatic compounds are the second most abundant class of organic compounds in nature
after carbohydrates and they derive mostly from the polymer lignin. Soluble plant-derived …

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of oxalic acid (OA) wood chips
pretreatment prior to refining, which is done to reduce energy used during the refining …
