Lignin chemistry and selected applications (Overview Paper)
Internal work for ILI Umbrella 2010
Roger Malherbe, Alfred Abächerli
Technical lignins can be produced with many different processes, which influence significantly the properties of the resulting lignins. Besides the botanical origin of the lignin (plant species), the chemistry that is taking place during the isolation of these lignins is indeed the main factor that will determine the behaviour of separated lignins in their different fields of application.
Besides classical processes of lignin separation (Kraft process, Sulphite process, Soda process) that are largely used in the paper industry, multiple new processes have been investigated, but none of them has so far reached industrial application (organosolv processes, various biorefinery processes).
The basic overview report on lignin production, as it was in 2010, is available just below (first file under ‘View All’). This report is the base and will not be updated. Information about new lignin production processes, that are not in the overview report, can be found in the items that follow or under the different tabs. Lignin fractionation is included in this chapter and not under modifications.
