Lignin-ester derivatives as novel thermoplastic materials
(RSC, 2016)
[EN] Spruce and eucalyptus lignins isolated by an organosolv process and lauroyl chloride were used as raw material for the synthesis of lignin-ester derivatives. The obtained products presented new and interesting properties ...
Multistage treatment of almonds waste biomass: characterization and assessment of the potential applications of raw material and products
(Elsevier, 2018-09-06)
Almond shells are waste biomass generated in agro-industrial activities, which represent a resource that can be further valorized upon treatment. The purpose of this work was to assess new value-added products obtained ...
Modification of Eucalyptus and Spruce organosolv lignins with fatty acids to use as filler in PLA
(2016-05-09)
Spruce (softwood) and Eucalyptus (hardwood) woods were used as raw material for lignin extraction by
organosolv process. Chemical, structural and thermal characterizations of the extracted lignin samples have
been performed ...
Multiproduct biorefinery based on almond shells: impact of the delignification stage on the manufacture of valuable products
(Elsevier, 2020-07-22)
In this work, an integral valorisation of almond shells through a biorefinery approach was studied. The three main components of almond shells were extracted, isolated and characterised. The autohydrolysis process permitted ...
Lignin oxidation and depolymerisation in ionic liquids
(RSC, 2015-09)
The depolymerisation of lignin directly in the black liquor was studied, comparing two ionic liquids as extracting solvents (butylimidazolium hydrogen sulphate and triethylammonium hydrogen sulphate), under oxidising ...
Liquefaction of Kraft lignin using polyhydric alcohols and organic acids as catalysts for sustainable polyols production
(Elsevier, 2019)
[EN]In this work, three different organic acid catalysts, (acetic acid, lactic acid and citric acid), are proposed as an
alternative to common catalysts used in the liquefaction process of Kraft lignin. These organic acids ...
Kraft lignin as filler in PLA to improve ductility and thermal properties
(Elsevier, 2015-10)
[EN] Kraft lignin (KL) and acetylated Kraft lignin (AKL) were used as filler for the elaboration of composites
with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) in different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5, 10 and 20%) by extrusion method at
200 ...
Hydrothermal treatments of walnut shells: a potential pretreatment for subsequent product obtaining
(Elsevier, 2020-10-08)
Walnuts are nowadays widely consumed. Since the edible part of walnuts does not account more than 50-60% of their total weight, the total amount of shells produced annually is huge. However, as walnut shells are part of ...
Hemicelluloses obtaining from rapeseed cake residue generated in the biodiesel production process
(2010-03-25)
[EN]The processing of rapeseed oil seeds for biodiesel production generates huge amounts of lignocellulosiccake residue mainly composed by cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin. In this work, the valorisation ofthese ...
Physicochemical properties of PLA lignin blends
(2014-01-12)
Commercial alkali lignin (CL) and lignin extracted from almond shells by organosolv process (OL) were
used for the preparation of blends with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) with different percentages (0.5, 1, 5, 10 and
20%) by ...
