Consecutively Preparing D-Xylose, Organosolv Lignin, and Amorphous Ultrafine Silica from Rice Husk

Bioinorganic Chemistry and Applications, 2014
Rice husk is an abundant agricultural by-product reaching the output of 80 million tons annually in the world. The most common treatment method of rice husk is burning or burying, which caused serious air pollution and resource waste.

Enhancing the Functional Properties of Polylactic Acid by Incorporation of Esterified Lignin

Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 64, Issue 7, Page 1625-1637, 1 April 2026.
Esterified lignin from agro‐industrial wastes enhances the hydrophobicity, UV‐shielding efficiency, and antioxidant capacity of polylactic acid composites. ABSTRACT Incorporating lignin as an additive is a promising strategy to overcome the limitations of PLA‐based composites.

Breaking Down Lignin: A Macromolecule's Path to the Nanoscale

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
This section highlights lignin's critical role as a sustainable, multifunctional precursor for nanomaterial design. Its unique structure and abundance enable the creation of lignin‐based, lignin‐derived, and hybrid nanomaterials with tunable properties. Emphasis is placed on lignin's potential to drive innovation in nanotechnology, offering ecofriendly

Organosolv fractionation and pulp upgrading of wheat straw for production of continuous cellulosic fibers by wet‐spinning

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 2, Page 931-944, March/April 2026.
Abstract Textile production is an important industrial sector but also one of the most polluting industries and highly dependent on fossil resources and cotton for the production of fibers. The use of cellulosic fibers from local agricultural residues can offer a sustainable alternative for the current textile industry. In this work, an environmentally

Development of a co‐culture of Ureibacillus thermosphaericus and Cupriavidus taiwanensis for inhibitors removal from hemicellulose prehydrolysate

Biotechnology Progress, Volume 42, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
For biofuels production, hemicellulose pre‐hydrolysate is considered as an attractive feedstock rich in fermentable sugars. The pre‐hydrolysate derived from lignocellulosic biomass comprises, along with sugars, several inhibitors which can hamper its efficient conversion.

Microporous and Mesoporous Activated Carbons from Tea Stalk and Tea Stalk Pulps: Effect of Lignin Removal by One-Step and Two-Step Organosolv Treatment

Journal of the Turkish Chemical Society, Section A: Chemistry
Delignification is a crucial pretreatment in the production of diverse value-added products from lignocellulosics. While modifying the surface functional groups, delignification also increases the specific surface area by providing a porous structure to ...

Lignin Valorisation from Side-Streams Produced during Agriculture Waste Pulping and TCF Bleaching

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2016
The lignocellulosic raw materials used for cellulose production contain other interesting components such lignin. In this work, an approach for the valorisation of side-streams from cellulose extraction and purification processes was carried out.

EXTRACTION OF ORGANOSOLV PULP AND PRODUCTION OF NANOCELLULOSE FROM HEMP FIBRES

KPI Science News, 2021
Background. The use of cellulose and nanocellulose instead of synthetic polymers makes it possible to improve the consumer properties and environmental friendliness of composite materials. Therefore, the development of technologies for the production of organosolv pulp and nanocellulose from plant raw materials, in particular from hemp fibres, is an ...

Study of Purified Cellulosic Pulp and Lignin Produced by Wheat Straw Biorefinery

Macromol
With the world population rising, wheat straw production is expected to reach 687–740 million tons per year by 2050. Its frequent application as a fuel source leads to air, water, and soil pollution.

Spinning of wheat straw-based pulp into cellulosic multifilaments by 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium octanoate as direct solvent

Journal of Ionic Liquids
The demand for man-made cellulosic fibers is rapidly increasing; however, these fibers are mainly based on wood dissolving pulp. Faster growing crops, such as agricultural residues and annual fast-growing plants (i.e.
