The introduction of the E Factor in 1992 focussed attention on the problem of waste
generation, defined as everything but the desired product, in chemicals manufacture and …

The contemporary production of carbon materials heavily relies on fossil fuels, contributing
significantly to the greenhouse effect. Biomass is a carbon‐neutral resource whose organic …

Lignin is produced in large quantities as a by-product of the papermaking and biofuel
industries. Lignin is the most abundant aromatic biopolymer on the planet with its chemical …

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 …

It is currently accepted that cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) participate in T-cell
exclusion from tumor nests. To unbiasedly test this, we used single-cell RNA sequencing …

Biomass and plastics are two of the most common municipal solid wastes globally that have
continuously placed a burden on the environment. It is therefore important that they are …

Molecular separations that enable selective transport of target molecules from gas and liquid
molecular mixtures, such as CO2 capture, olefin/paraffin separations, and organic solvent …

The excessive use of petroleum-based non-biodegradable plastic products has resulted in
severe environmental pollution and ecological problems, which has stimulated the …

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 …

Lignin is a green and sustainable feedstock for the production of chemicals and materials;
however, its utilization is still low. Over the past decade, remarkable progress has been …
