A research team led by Professor Jaehoon Kim at Sungkyunkwan University and Dr. Dong Ki Lee at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a highly efficient catalytic process ...
The researchers assessed three types of lignin: two derived from Kraft pulp with different post-treatments, referred to as L1 and L2, and one extracted from Cynara cardunculus through an aqueous ...

E-biorefinery uses electricity to break lignin bonds into useful chemicals
A growing body of peer-reviewed research is showing that electricity can replace heat and fossil-derived hydrogen to crack the toughest chemical bonds in lignin, the rigid polymer that gives wood its ...
A new low-temperature multi-phase process for upgrading lignin bio-oil to hydrocarbons could help expand use of the lignin, which is now largely a waste product left over from the productions of ...
A palladium-on-carbon catalyst electrochemically breaks lignin ether bonds and upgrades the fragments into cyclic chemicals under mild conditions without hydrogen gas. A team led by Professor Jaehoon ...
Lignin—a tough, mixed polymer found in plant cell walls—is nature’s most abundant stockpile of aromatic functional groups. Because of this, lignin’s rich natural complexity could be a well of new ...
Carbon fibers are usually produced on an industrial scale from polyacrylonitrile (PAN). The stabilization and carbonization of the fibers takes place with long dwell times in high-temperature furnaces ...
