Lignin, a major component of lignocellulose, is the largest source of aromatic building blocks
on the planet and harbors great potential to serve as starting material for the production of …

In pursuit of more sustainable and competitive biorefineries, the effective valorisation of
lignin is key. An alluring opportunity is the exploitation of lignin as a resource for chemicals …

Xylooligosaccharides (XOS), produced from lignocellulosic biomass (LCB), are short-chain
polymers with prebiotic activity which, in the last few decades, have gained commercial …

A central feature of most lignocellulosic-biomass-valorization strategies is the
depolymerization of all its three major constituents: cellulose and hemicellulose to simple …

Reductive catalytic fractionation (RCF) of lignocellulose is an emerging biorefinery scheme
that combines biomass fractionation with lignin depolymerisation. Central to this scheme is …

Lignin is one of the renewable natural aromatic polymers, the use of lignin as a raw material
for the preparation of high value-added chemicals and fuels is regarded as a promising …

As lignin represents the only renewable aromatic organic resource in nature, the search for
efficient catalysts for lignin depolymerization to produce functionalized phenols with high …

Lignin is an aromatic polymer, which is the biggest and most sustainable reservoir for
aromatics. The selective conversion of lignin polymers into aryl monomers is a promising …

Currently, valorization of lignocellulosic biomass almost exclusively focuses on the
production of pulp, paper, and bioethanol from its holocellulose constituent, while the …

Presently, the use of lignocellulosic biomass is mainly focused on creating pulp/paper,
energy, sugars and bioethanol from the holocellulose component, leaving behind lignin to …
