A review on lignin pyrolysis: pyrolytic behavior, mechanism, and relevant upgrading for improving process efficiency | Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts

October 11, 2022

Lignin is a promising alternative to traditional fossil resources for producing biofuels due to its aromaticity and renewability. Pyrolysis is an efficient technology to convert lignin to valuable chemicals, which is beneficial for improving lignin valorization. In this review, pyrolytic behaviors of various lignin were included, as well as the pyrolytic mechanism consisting of initial, primary, and charring stages were also introduced. Several parallel reactions, such as demethoxylation, demeth...
