Endocarp biomass, which forms much of the inedible portion of nuts and stone fruits, is a promising feedstock for aromatic chemical production due to its high lignin content and because it is a food industry waste. Here, we tested the nut shells and fruit ...

Depolymerization of lignin into aromatic monomers is one of the highest priority targets for valorization of lignin obtained from biomass pretreatment. Oxidative lignin depolymerization proceeds rapidly under alkaline conditions at elevated temperature wit ...

Using acetal-stabilized lignin we performed a truly steady state continuous high-yielding lignin depolymerization (45% monophenolics using Ni/C), which offered a window into challenges and opportunities that will be faced when processing this feedstock. Wi ...

Lignin has emerged as an attractive alternative in the search for more eco-friendly and less costly materials for enzyme immobilization. In this work, the terephthalic aldehyde-stabilization of lignin is carried out during its extraction to develop a serie ...

Thanks to chemical stabilization, aldehyde-assisted fractionation (AAF) of lignocellulosic biomass has recently emerged as a powerful tool for the production of largely uncondensed lignin. Depolymerization of AAF lignin via ether deavage provides aromatic ...

Industrial lignin oxidation has been used for vanillin production but is largely uncontrolled, not fully understood mechanistically, and leads to low yield. Here, we have demonstrated high-efficiency vanillin and syringaldehyde production from lignin via g ...

Realistically replacing petroleum-based plastics will require efficient routes to performance polymers using scalable processes from abundantly available lignocellulosic biomass. We surveyed academic and patent literature for processes in the latest stages ...

We explore the selective electrocatalytic hydrogenation of lignin monomers to methoxylated chemicals, of particular interest, when powered by renewable electricity. Prior studies, while advancing the field rapidly, have so far lacked the needed selectivity ...
