Lignin Sources and Uses: A Review | Chapter 6 | Novel Aspects on Chemistry and Biochemistry Vol. 1

 The purpose concerning this brief review is to specify the structure of native lignin as well as the construction of technical lignin, containing information about the different traits found on stock exchange and the main pathways to treat it in applications as feedstock for bioproducts to obtain extreme added profit products. The efficient use of inexhaustible resources has arose as a driving force for global manufacturing seeking to boost competitiveness. Among the available natural natural resources, lignin, found in lignocellulosic biomass to a degree trees, is the only organic polymer with aromatic rings in allure constitution. Annually, nearly 50 million tons of lignin are produced general, with 98% to 99% of that amount incinerated to create energy and steam in pulp mills. In a biorefinery idea, only a small part of the lignin recovered from the sulfite pulp mill is commercially recovered. According to current research, technical lignin beginnings can also be used as feedstock for phenol derivative products, mechanics carbons, fuels, and adhesives. However, some mechanics challenges must be overcome before these uses can be realized.
