Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts, 2022 Lignin is a promising alternative to traditional fossil resources for producing biofuels due to its aromaticity and renewability. Pyrolysis is an efficient technology to convert lignin to valuable chemicals, which is beneficial for improving lignin ...

Numerical investigation of microwave-assisted pyrolysis of lignin [PDF]
, 2016 A comprehensive three-dimensional mathematical model is developed for studying the microwave-assisted pyrolysis of biomass. Kraft Lignin is considered as biomass feedstock in the model, and a mixture of lignin and char, is used as the sample for ...

The determination of lignin [PDF]
British Journal of Nutrition, 1967 1. The methods for estimating lignin based on 72% sulphuric acid are lengthy and usually require large corrections for the residual nitrogenous impurities. The steps used in the initial purification of lignin, and particularly those concerned with the removal of nitrogenous impurities using proteolytic enzymes, have been investigated.2.

Synthesis and characterization of cotton fiber-based nanocellulose [PDF]
Int J Biol Macromol. (2018), 109, pp.832-836, 2019 Nanocellulose prepared from the natural material has a promising wide range of opportunities to obtain the superior material properties towards various end-products. In this research, commercially available natural cotton was treated with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution to eliminate the hemicellulose and lignin, then cellulose was collected.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The seed pod valves of Australian Banksia attenuata plants are not simply bi‐layers which bend when dry. These experiments and models reveal complex mechanics, which allow seed release only after several steps of seed pod opening. Stiffness gradients prevent delamination of the valves during loading, and a shape‐memory function protects the seeds ...

Shape‐Stabilization of Phase Change Materials with Carbon‐Conscious Poly(hydroxy)Urethane Foams
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Poly(hydroxy)urethane (PHU) foam, derivable from carbon dioxide (CO2) and bio‐based resources, is a promising material platform for shape‐stabilizing phase change materials (PCMs). We demonstrate the encapsulation of both paraffins and calcium chloride hexahydrate in PHU foam, achieving 48 stable thermal cycles by introducing 5 wt.% barium carbonate ...
