Lignin is the most abundant source of renewable aromatics on Earth, yet its enormous
potential remains underexploited in current biorefinery and pul** processes. The …

In this Review, all known chemical methods for the conversion of renewable resources into
benzenoid aromatics are summarized. The raw materials that were taken into consideration …

Reductive catalytic fractionation (RCF) is a promising approach to fractionate lignocellulose
and convert lignin to a narrow product slate. To guide research towards commercialization …

The inherent reactivity of lignin in conventional biomass processing commonly prevents
isolation of native lignin and limits monomer yields from catalytic depolymerization strategies …

The amphiphilic chemical structure of native lignin, composed by a hydrophobic aromatic
core and hydrophilic hydroxy groups, makes it a promising alternative for the development of …

Driven by the excessive consumption of fossil resources and environmental pollution
concerns, a large amount of biorefinery research efforts have been made for converting …

In the present work, a hydrogen‐free one‐step catalytic fractionation of woody biomass
using commercial β‐zeolite as catalyst in a flow‐through reactor was carried out. Birch …

Despite the increased use of hemp fiber, negligible attention has been given to upgrade the
hemp hurd, which constitutes up to 70 wt% of the hemp stalk and is currently considered a …

Lignin represents up to one third of lignocellulosic biomass and is a sustainable carbon
source available at a sufficient scale to replace an impactful amount of fossil resources when …

Science requires specialised terminologies to be precisely understood. Its specific
vocabulary avoids one term having the same meaning for two different things. However …
