Lignocellulosic biomass is an excellent sustainable alternative that can be used to make green products.
In plants, lignin acts as a protective barrier which helps make plants stronger and keeps them safe from biological or chemical damage. Recently, researchers have looked into the use of ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents to make it easier to turn lignin into valuable products. “This research adds an alkaline solution to lignin to make it into aromatic monomers. Using DESs could make it easier and less expensive for companies to produce sustainable products at one atmospheric pressure.”
They also added different metal chloride catalysts to see if they could improve the depolymerisation process. The goal was to find a way to break down and transform lignin from biomass more efficiently at one atmospheric pressure.
