Unconventional lignin monomers—Extension of the lignin paradigm
Lignin is largely produced by the oxidative radical coupling of the three monolignols, p-coumaryl, coniferyl, and sinapyl alcohols, which form the p-hydroxyphenyl, guaiacyl, and syringyl lignin units in the lignin polymer. However, it is increasingly appreciated that other “unconventional” phenolic compounds can also behave as lignin monomers ...

Wood processing by-products treated with the lignin-based conditioner as mulch for soil protection
Wood processing by-products such as bark of different wood species and hydrolysis lignin were applied as soil mulch. The lignin-based soil conditioner (LSC) representing a lignin-based polyelectrolyte complex with the different composition (a lignin ...

Effect of Solvents on Fe–Lignin Precursors for Production Graphene-Based Nanostructures
Kraft lignin was catalytically graphitized to graphene-based nanostructures at high temperature under non-oxidative atmospheres. To obtain the best catalytic performance, a uniform catalyst–lignin mixture must be made by bonding transitional metal (M ...

Anaerobic co-digestion of acetate-rich with lignin-rich wastewater and the effect of hydrotalcite addition [PDF]
The methane potential and biodegradability of different ratios of acetate and lignin-rich effluents from a neutral sulfite semi-chemical (NSSC) pulp mill were investigated.

Synthesis and characterization of biodegradable lignin nanoparticles with tunable surface properties [PDF]
Lignin nanoparticles can serve as biodegradable carriers of biocidal actives with minimal environmental footprint. Here we describe the colloidal synthesis and interfacial design of nanoparticles with tunable surface properties using two different lignin

LIGNIN-KMC: A Toolkit for Simulating Lignin Biosynthesis [PDF]
Lignin is an abundant biopolymer of phenylpropanoid monomers that is critical for plant structure and function. Based on the abundance of lignin in the biosphere and interest in lignin valorization, a more comprehensive understanding of lignin biosynthesis is imperative. Here we present an open-source software toolkit, LIGNIN-KMC, that combines kinetic

Lignin Biodegradation and Its Valorization
Lignin, a rigid polymer composed of phenolic subunits with high molecular weight and complex structure, ranks behind only cellulose in the contribution to the biomass of plants. Therefore, lignin can be used as a new environmentally friendly resource for
