This study aims at investigating the impact of ionic liquid extraction on lignin structure by studying the mechanism of lignin depolymerization in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate EMIM[OAc]) and comparing it with t...
The most abundant phenolic biopolymer in the biosphere is the lignin.This phenolic biopolymer commonly exists in combination with polysaccharides and other cell wall components.In this study,the solvent system dioxane...
Cassava peels are rich in lignocellulolytic materials which are not readily amenable to enzymatic hydrolysis;hence, there is a need for a suitable pretreatment method that will support enzymatic hydrolysis. This study...

The conversion of lignocellulose to value-added products is normally focused on fuel production;however,large-scale biorefineries require a cost-effective pretreatment process that can effectively fractionate the thre...
Energy is a crucial material for the development of our economy.Access to sufficient energy remains a major concern for developing countries,particularly those in sub-Saharan Africa.The major challenge lies in access ...

A non-isocyanate-based polyurethane(NIPU)wood adhesive was produced from organosolv lignin,which is a bio-sourced raw material,available in large quantities and produced as a by-product of the paper industry.The formu...
The effect of the severity of an organosolv treatment of Miscanthus x giganteus on antioxidant capacity of the obtained lignin was studied. Four organosolv lignins extracted with different severity conditions were cho...
