Journal ArticleDOI
The nature of lignin from steam explosion/ enzymatic hydrolysis of softwood: structural features and possible uses: scientific note.
TL;DR: Effective utilization of the lignin by-product is a prerequisite to the commercial viability of ethanol production from softwood wastes using a steam explosion (SE) /enzymatic hydrolysis (EH) /fermentation process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life after death: Lignin‐humic relationships reexamined
TL;DR: In the last decade, application of modern degradative and nondegradative analysis techniques to both lignin of living plants and humic substances of soil has demonstrated characteristic similarities in the structures of these two types of natural polymers.
Book ChapterDOI
The nature of lignin from steam explosion/enzymatic hydrolysis of softwood
TL;DR: In this paper, the chemical composition of Douglas fir wood on SO2-catalyzed steam explosion (SE) followed by EH was assessed using conventional analytical methods and new halogen-probe techniques.
Journal Article
Structure and properties of lignin in softwoods after SO2- catalyzed steam explosion and enzymatic hydrolysis
TL;DR: In this paper, changes in the chemical composition of Douglas fir wood after SO 2 -catalyzed steam explosion, followed by enzymatic hydrolysis, were assessed using 13 C CP/MAS NMR, FTIR, differential scanning calorimetry and lignin analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combining scanning tunneling microscopy and computer simulation of humic substances: citric acid, a model.
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of intermolecuiar association and hydration on the electronic properties and chemical reactivity of CA were analyzed in relation to the behavior of similar compounds in natural processes.
