Application

Lignin, alkali can be used as a surface treatment agent for composites of natural fibers with petroleum based resins. It can be used as a biosorbent for potential applications in removing toxic metal ions from wastewater.

General description

Lignin, alkali is a complex, three dimensional polymer that is also known as kraft lignin that has undergone hydrolytic degradation. It is one of the major components of lignocellulosic materials. Lignin is a major product for second generation bioethanol production and is an impurity in the separation of cellulose from wood.

Current single-stage delignification-pretreatment technologies to overcome lignocellulosic biomass recalcitrance are usually achieved at the expense of compromising the recovery of the polysaccharide components, particularly the hemicellulose fraction. One way to enhance overall sugar recovery is to tailor an efficient two-stage
