Lignin is the most abundant aromatic polymer in nature. Due to its high amount of phenolic
compounds storage, lignin is considered as an alternative source for various polymers and …

Phenolic resins (PRs) are being widely used in many fields such as molding plastics, foams,
coatings, and semiconductor packaging owing to their good properties including corrosion …

Lignocellulosic biomass is an abundant and renewable resource that potentially contains
large amounts of energy. It is an interesting alternative for fossil fuels, allowing the …

The expanding interest towards biogas generation from biowaste via complex anaerobic
digestion (AD) opened new avenues in the improvement of biogas production processes …

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a biological process that can convert organic substrates to
biogas in the absence of oxygen. The AD process has been practiced for centuries; …

The complex interlacing structure among cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin and the unique
properties of lignin itself limit the value-added utilization of the lignin. As the “upstream” …

The energy sector contributed to three-fourth of overall global emissions in the past decade.
Biological wastes can be converted to useful energy and other byproducts via biological or …

Dependence on fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas are on alarming increase,
thereby causing such resources to be in a depletion mode and a novel sustainable …

Biogas or biomethane is traditionally produced via anaerobic digestion, or recently by
thermochemical or a combination of thermochemical and biological processes via syngas …
