Researchers at the University of Leuven say they have part of the answer, having devised a way to convert sawdust into ... depolymerize our lignin material into chemicals; and then last but not least ...

Using a low melting solvent mixture to extract value from wood biomass. Scientific Reports , 2016; 6: 32420 DOI: 10.1038/srep32420 Ronny Wahlström, Jaakko Hiltunen, Mariáh Pitaluga de Souza ...

The reaction reliably and efficiently turns the lignin in waste products such as sawdust into the chemical ... will go a considerable way to help us extract valuable molecules including fuels ...

One long-standing approach is to make vanilllin from lignin, a biopolymer found in wood pulp and consequently one of the most common organic polymers on the planet. Second-hand book stores ...

“With our method, we take non-food-based biomass such as wood chips, sawdust or rice straw, and put it through a process to extract lignin-like material that can then be used as the main component in ...

While naturally occurring lignin from sawdust is not immediately transferrable ... which makes it difficult to extract. In the past, we explored various methods before developing the ultrasound ...

The rest becomes co-products, such as woodchip and sawdust. Sonichem’s extraction process collects lignin—a polymer that binds the cells and fibers in trees and other plants. This makes it an ideal ...

While naturally occurring lignin from sawdust is not immediately transferrable to these ... which makes it difficult to extract. “The next step in the process is about engaging with both the ...

Scientists have long known that lignin, a biopolymer found in wood pulp (think sawdust), produces vanillin when it oxidizes—unfortunately the only previously known process, though cheap ...
