The establishment of the place of Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) as a new class of green
solvents was essentially grounded on naïve comparisons with Ionic Liquids (ILs), since both …

The grave concerns arisen as a result of environmental pollution and diminishing fossil fuel
reserves in the 21st century have shifted the focus on the use of sustainable and …

This review provides an overview of the current state-of-the-art and major trends in the
application of protic ionic liquids (PILs) to sustainable chemistry. Following a brief …

As the second most abundant biopolymer on earth after cellulose, lignin is considered to be
an alternative source of various polymers and biomaterials since it can be cleaved into a …

When optimizing the process parameters of the acidic ethanolic organosolv process, the aim
is usually to maximize the delignification and/or lignin purity. However, process parameters …

In this study, a fractionation and valorisation scheme for vine shoots is proposed for biofuel
and lignin production. This agricultural waste was fractionated by acid/organosolv …

Lignin represents the most abundant natural source of aromatic scaffolds. The majority of
lignin is obtained as byproduct from industrial pul**. However, since lignin is often burned …

Pure subcritical water autohydrolysis is an economical and green biorefinery method and
potentially applicable technology. Elucidating and regulating the energy input effects on the …

Wood fractionation is key for the integral valorization of its three main components. In this
sense, recovering the hemicellulosic fraction after the ionosolv treatment of lignocellulosic …

In the present study, glycerol-derived ethers (GDEs) are evaluated as green solvents to
facilitate organosolv extraction of lignins from softwood biomass. GDEs assessed in the …
