A novel method to extract lignin could help spin wheat straw into gold. Lignin produced using the new method was color-neutral, odorless and homogenous, an advance that could make this carbon-neutral ...

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 ...

New research highlights the influence of temperature on lignin biosynthesis in plants, with implications for global warming and sustainable resource management. In a groundbreaking mini-review, Giulia ...

A research team at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) has a plan to turn waste into a green solvent for biofuel production. Doctors Chang Geun Yoo and Gyu Leem and their graduate ...

For biofuels to compete with petroleum, biorefinery operations must be designed to better utilize lignin. Lignin is one of the main components of plant cell walls. It provides plants with greater ...

Researchers have developed a quick and easy way to turn the wood-based bioproduct lignin into nanoparticles that can create a transparent coating with anti-fog properties or a colorful antireflective ...

David Chem, chemical engineering graduate student, holds on the right a vial of water with methyl orange dye. On the left, the water is clear after modified lignin bonds with the dye and falls to the ...

RESEARCHERS in China are developing wood-based sunscreen formulations as a more sustainable alternative to conventional ...

Together with Cypriot Synergy Horizon Group’s Synergy Horizon Poland Sp. z o.o. (Dabrowka, Poland), KraussMaffei Extrusion GmbH (Laatzen, Germany) has developed a process for producing a 100% ...
