Chemicals from lignin: an interplay of lignocellulose fractionation, depolymerisation, and upgrading
Wouter Schutyser,Wouter Schutyser,Tom Renders,S. Van den Bosch,S.-F. Koelewijn,Gregg T. Beckham,Bert F. Sels +6 more
TL;DR: This review provides a summary and perspective of the extensive research that has been devoted to each of these three interconnected biorefinery aspects, ranging from industrially well-established techniques to the latest cutting edge innovations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bright Side of Lignin Depolymerization: Toward New Platform Chemicals
TL;DR: Following the whole value chain from raw lignocellulose through depolymerization to application whenever possible, specific lignin-based compounds emerge that could be in the future considered as potential lignIn-derived platform chemicals.
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
Lignin-first biomass fractionation: the advent of active stabilisation strategies
TL;DR: New biorefinery schemes are being developed, wherein the valorisation of lignin is regarded as one of the primary targets, and includes two distinct strategies to actively prevent structural degradation during biomass fractionation, namely (i) tandem depolymerisation–stabilisation of native lign in, and (ii) active preservation of β-O-4 bonds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reductive catalytic fractionation: state of the art of the lignin-first biorefinery.
TL;DR: Flow-through RCF has the advantage of separating the solvolytic steps from the catalytic steps and being a semi-continuous process; both of which are beneficial for research purposes and for industrial operation.
