The most critical issues faced by the world nowadays is to provide the sustainability of
consumption for energy and natural resources. Lignin is said to be one of the alternative …

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 …

Biomass is any organic matter that is renewable over time. In the context of energy, this is
often used to mean plant-based materials, such as agricultural residues, forestry wastes …

This paper reports a new method of applying Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) for extracting
lignin from woody biomass with high yield and high purity. DES mixtures prepared from …

Lignin and lignin derivatives biopolymers have several properties, such as high thermal
stability, antioxidant, biodegradability, antimicrobial actions, adhesive properties, etc., and …

Valorization of native birch wood lignin into monomeric phenols over nickel-based catalysts
has been studied. High chemoselectivity to aromatic products was achieved by using Ni …

Lignocellulosic biomass is abundantly available in nature and is contemplated as the largest
renewable resource on earth. Cellulose is a preliminary portion of the tough cell wall that …

Lignin is a biopolymer generated from the pulp and paper industry as a natural resource.
Lignin valorization is advantageous for biorefineries to produce aromatic compounds …

The objective of this chapter is to provide a concise overview of lignin composition and
structure in different species and materials (wood, barks and nonwood plants). It includes a …

Lignin is the largest carrier of aromatics on earth, and its depolymerization can afford value-
added aromatic products. Direct cleavage of the C–C bonds in lignin linkages is significant …
