In the drive to decarbonize chemical production, some of the most promising solutions come from unexpected places. Lignin, once largely burned for energy, is now being explored as a valuable input for ...

The researchers assessed three types of lignin: two derived from Kraft pulp with different post-treatments, referred to as L1 and L2, and one extracted from Cynara cardunculus through an aqueous ...

A novel method to extract lignin could help spin wheat straw into gold. Lignin produced using the new method was color-neutral, odorless and homogenous, an advance that could make this carbon-neutral ...

RICHLAND, Wash. – A novel method to extract lignin could help spin wheat straw into gold. Lignin produced using the new method was color-neutral, odorless and homogenous, an advance that could make ...

WSU researchers have developed a novel method that extracts lignin in its native form from wheat straw with high yield and purity, overcoming challenges of heterogeneity usually associated with lignin ...
