Lignin is the most abundant aromatic polymer naturally produced in the world. Conversion of
lignin by depolymerization to aromatic monomers has attracted more and more interest in …

Biomass resources are abundant in nature. Reasonable utilization of these resources can
yield high-value-added products. Lignin is the second-largest biomass resource in the plant …

In this paper, a two-stage approach was employed to produce nitrogen-doped porous
carbons from bamboo shoot shells. These shells were utilized as a cost-effective biomass …

Converting lignin into specific aromatic chemicals for utilization through depolymerization of
lignin is an effective way to achieve high-value applications. There are many …

The targeting cleavage of lignin into value-added aromatic monomers has attracted
increasing attention. Although the base-catalyzed depolymerization of lignin has been …

Adopting an integrated strategy to realize efficient fractionation of lignocellulose into well-
defined components for its valorization is challenging. Combinatorial pretreatments in this …

Energy hotspots for the production of vanillin from Kraft lignin are identified and process
improvements are proposed and rigorously simulated. The hotspots identified and …

Understanding the origins of the optical properties of natural organic matter (NOM) and its
dissolved fractions (dissolved organic matter (DOM)) and the links to their molecular …

To decrease the dependency of fossil-based raw materials in society, and with that, the
chemical industry, new and sustainable raw materials need to be investigated. Lignin is an …

This study presents a conceptual design of vanillin production from Kraft lignin. Most of the
existing Kraft lignin is used as low-quality boiler fuel or discarded as wastewater, and only …
