2. 16. Protected Lignin Biorefining: Fundamental Insights on Lignin Reactivity

   Author : Maria Karlsson; Martin Lawoko; Åsa Emmer; Olena Sevastyanova; John Ralph; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sustainability; lignin; biorefinery; cyclic organosolv extraction; preserved structure; NMR; MALDI-TOF MS; Hållbarhet; lignin; bioraffinaderi; cyklisk organosolv extraktion; bevarad struktur; NMR; MALDI-TOF MS; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : The potential to utilize lignin, which constitutes as much as 15-30% of the biomass, needs further evaluation. In the transition towards a bioeconomy, lignin has the potential to replace fossil-based phenols. Attempts to valorize the available technical lignins are ongoing; however, that lignin suffers from molecular heterogeneity. READ MORE

4. 17. Self Assembly of Hardwood Xylan -In Aqueous Solution and at Cellulosic Surfaces

   Author : Peter Westbye; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Solution properties.; Unbounded Lignin; Extraction; Harwood; Model Cellulose; Fractionation; Glucuronoxylan; Adsorption; Lignin Carbohydrate complexes; Agglomeration; Bonded Lignin;

   Abstract : The climate change on our planet is an issue of great concern. The dignity of this issue was confirmed by the award of the international panel of climate change (IPCC) the Nobel peace prize. This problem arises from the way that we live our lives, how we produce energy, materials and chemicals from a fossil source. READ MORE

5. 18. Biocomposites Based on Core-Shell Cellulose Nanofibers : Preparation, Structure, and Properties

   Author : Kasinee Prakobna; Lars Berglund; David Plackett; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biocomposites; cellulose nanofibers; polysaccharides; holocellulose; nanostructure; dispersion; mechanical properties; hygromechanical properties; moisture stability; film; porous material; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : Cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) are of interest as load-bearing components for polymer matrix nanocomposites. A wide range of nanostructured materials including nanopaper/films, foams, aerogels, and hydrogels can be prepared from CNFs. The material performance can be fine-tuned when CNFs are combined with different polymer matrices. READ MORE

6. 19. Catalytic valorization of lignocellulose : Direct and sidestream upgrading approaches

   Author : Davide Di Francesco; Joseph Samec; Orlando Rojas; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lignin; biomass; catalytic fractionation; dearomatization; heterogeneous catalysis; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

   Abstract : This work aims to explore different approaches for the valorization of lignocellulosic biomass. In this regard, two different strategies are presented: the catalytic upgrading of lignocellulose derivatives from industrial streams, such as pyrolytic oil and kraft lignin, and the direct catalytic fractionation of woody biomass.

7. 20. Precipitation and separation of lignin from kraft black liquor

   Author : Fredrik Öhman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; pressing; filtration; washing; lignin; separation; precipitation; black liquor; extraction;

   Abstract : The separation of lignin from black liquor is an attractive option to consider for pulp mills. In modern pulp mills, lignin extraction offers the opportunity of withdrawing an energy surplus in the form of a solid biofuel. READ MORE
