Lignin alkaline oxidation using reversibly-soluble bases

When excess base is required to drive desired reactions, such as in lignin alkaline oxidation, Sr(OH) 2 can offer a reversibly-soluble alternative to NaOH that allows simple recycle of the excess base with concomitant cost and environmental benefits.

Flow-through solvolysis enables production of native-like lignin from biomass

Flow-through solvolysis offers an opportunity to limit lignin condensation reactions that prevent isolation of native lignin in biomass processing, thus allowing for the study of intrinsic lignin properties and steady-state lignin depolymerization.
