High yield solvent extraction of hydrothermal and ball-milling treated lignin prior to enzymatic hydrolysis for co-valorization of lignin and cellulose in Miscanthus sacchariflorus

Lignin as a green and multifunctional alternative to phenol for resin synthesis

“…[142][143][144] Due to the complex chemical structure of lignin, including the dense three-dimensional network aromatic ring structure and diverse chemical bond combinations, coupled with the role of intermolecular hydrogen bonds, it is difficult to achieve lignin depolymerization by traditional physical methods (mechanical processing and ultrasonic processing). [145][146][147][148] As a result, thermochemical, chemical, and biochemical depolymerization are primarily involved (Fig. 5).…”
