Ionic Liquid as a Green Solvent for Lignin

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the application of select ionic liquids (ILs) as aprotic green solvents for lignin and found that up to 20 wt% Lignin can be dissolved in [hmim][CF3SO3], [mmim][MeSO4] and [bmim][meSO4].
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessing the molecular structure basis for biomass recalcitrance during dilute acid and hydrothermal pretreatments.

TL;DR: This review highlights the recent understanding on molecular structure basis for recalcitrance, with emphasis on structural transformation of major biomass biopolymers related to the reduction of recal citrance during dilute acid and hydrothermal pretreatments.
Journal ArticleDOI

From lignin to valuable products–strategies, challenges, and prospects

TL;DR: This review summarizes the latest cutting-edge innovations of lignin chemical valorization with the focus on the aforementioned three key aspects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Application of quantitative 31P NMR in biomass lignin and biofuel precursors characterization

TL;DR: Using lignin isolated from native and transgenic plants as well as from pretreatment and biological/thermal deconstruction processes, researchers have demonstrated that this technique has unique characterization capabilities which have broad applicability in the biofuels research community.
Journal ArticleDOI

The critical role of lignin in lignocellulosic biomass conversion and recent pretreatment strategies: A comprehensive review.

TL;DR: An in-depth understanding of lignin properties and their influences on biomass conversion can provide clues to improve biomass utilization and significantly increase the economic viability of biorefinery.
