Technical and Economical Feasibility of Pyrolysis of Kraft Lignin

Farag S., Chaouki J., École Polytechnique de Montréal, CA

This research project discusses the technical and economical feasibility of converting kraft lignin to value-added chemicals. Two pyrolysis techniques were implemented: conventional pyrolysis using classical heating and microwave pyrolysis using electromagnetic irradiation. The product distribution [...]

Integrated Photocatalytic and Microbial Degradation of Kraft Lignin

Shende A., Shende R.V., Hussein M., Bhosale R., Harder-Heinz D., Shende A., Shende R.V., South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, US

Kraft lignin (KL), a waste product of paper and pulp industry is recalcitrant to biochemical degradation. In our attempt to overcome KL recalcitrance, we coupled photoreforming of Kraft lignin (KL) with microbial degradation. It is [...]
