The efficient valorization of lignin is crucial if we are to replace current petroleum‐based
feedstock and establish more sustainable and competitive lignocellulosic biorefineries. Pulp …

Lignin is currently one of the most promising biologically derived resources, due to its
abundance and application in biofuels, materials and conversion to value aromatic …

There is need for well-defined lignin macromolecules for research related to their use in
biomaterial and biochemical applications. Lignin biorefining efforts are therefore under …

Lignin liquefaction microkinetics is a move toward a more first-principles (ie, ab initio)-based
understanding at the molecular level in reaction engineering. While the microkinetic …

Lignin, the earth's second-most abundant biopolymer after cellulose, has long been
relegated to low-value byproducts in the pulp and paper industry. However, recent …

The aim of this work is to develop a novel green solvent based sustainable process to refine
lignin into low molecular weight (LMW) and high molecular weight (HMW) fractions. Lignin …

In recent years, the potential of lignins as a resource for material-based applications has
been highlighted in many scientific and nonscientific publications. But still, to date, a lack of …

Softwood kraft lignin SKL was fractionated using aprotic acetone and protic methanol to
yield both previously reported “traditional” fractions and novel refined fractions thereof …

The enormous availability of lignocellulosic biomass makes it a potential renewable
feedstock for the continuous supply of second-generation bioethanol. The present study …

The bark of trees contains an interesting mixture of bioactive compounds, or so-called
extractives. The use of supercritical carbon dioxide (sc-CO2) eliminates both the need for …
