TL;DR: This protocol describes a quantitative 31P NMR spectroscopy approach for the analysis and determination of hydroxyl groups on biorefinery resources such as lignins and tannins.

TL;DR: In this article, a combinatorial pretreatment with 1% H2SO4 for 30 min followed by 1% NaOH for 60 min at 120 °C was investigated in an effort to synergistically improve the carbohydrate output and lignin processability from corn stover.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review highlights the NMR strategies for pyrolysis oil characterization and critically discusses the applications of 1H, 13C, 31P, 19F, and two-dimensional (2-D NMR) analyses such as heteronuclear single quantum correlation (HSQC) in representative bio-oil studies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the sequential organosolv fragmentation approach (SOFA) using ethanol plus different-stage catalysts was explored to selectively dissolve lignin for producing multiple uniform Lignin streams, and to tailor its chemistry and reactivity for fabricating LNPs with desired quality features.

TL;DR: The structural features and reaction pathways for solid-liquid products from hydrothermal carbonization of Loblolly pine, where the solid products can be used as catalysts, adsorbents and electrode materials while liquid Products can be treated yielding fuels and platform chemicals are revealed.
