Chemically, it comprises two carbohydrate polymers, cellulose and hemicellulose, and lignin, which has aromatic features. Therefore, all these elements together constitute Lignocellulosic biomass.

Processing of biomass key to ethanol production Blake Simmons, a chemical engineer and project lead at Sandia’s Livermore, Calif., site, says that the primary hurdle preventing lignocellulosic ...

Recent interest in lignocellulosic fibers was devoted to improve the mechanical properties of polymers. But one of their main limitation is the poor compatibility and adhesion between these polar ...

Lignin (an aromatic macromolecule in biomass), the only renewable source of aromatics, is currently treated as waste and under-utilized. A more appealing and value-added use of lignin is as a ...

The project valorizes a wide range of agri-food and lignocellulosic residues—including low-value starches, whey permeate, industrial wastewater, rice straw, wheat straw, and pruning waste.

This results in an alarming accumulation of approximately 400 Mt of polymers and plastics as waste in the environment — with predictions suggesting a leap to over 1.1 Gt by 2060 [1].
