WSU researchers extracted up to 93% lignin with up to 98% purity from wheat straw, producing a significant amount of material in a uniform way that could make it more attractive for industry use.
A new technique to extract lignin could help transform wheat straw into gold. The new method produced homogenous, colorless, and odorless lignin, an improvement that might make this carbon-neutral material a more appealing candidate for high-value product development.
Washington State University researchers have developed an innovative method to extract high-quality lignin from wheat straw, potentially transforming it into a profitable product for industry use.
