Inhaltsangabe:

A thorough reference guide to Lignin Chemistry, from inherent structure revealing to transformation into chemicals, fuels, and materials
 
Climate change, driven by rising greenhouse gas emissions, is the defining challenge of our time. Reducing our dependence on non-renewable resources such as fossil fuels will require alternative, more sustainable resources. Lignin, the only widely-occurring, renewable, aromatic bio-polymer in Nature, has a range of application potential in the production of chemicals, fuels, and other industrial materials. Lignin science has become one of the fastest-growing and most significant areas of sustainable chemistry in the world.
 
Lignin Chemistry: Characterization, Isolation, and Valorization presents a systematic, multidisciplinary overview of this cutting-edge field and its current state of research. Beginning with a robust characterization of lignin, the book addresses the isolation and transformation of lignin, as well as the book inspires with a plethora of applications. The result is a critical resource for researchers and professionals in any area of academic or industry where renewable biomass, in particular lignin, has importance.
 
Lignin Chemistry readers will find:
 
* Thermochemical and catalytic strategies for lignin conversion
* Detailed discussion of the valorization of lignin towards biopolymers, nanoparticles, carbon fibers and materials, and hydrogels
* An authorial team with immense and varied research experience
 
Lignin Chemistry is ideal for chemical engineers, catalytic chemists, biochemists, material scientists, and analytical chemists in industry.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Yuhe Liao currently is Professor at Guangzhou Institute of Energy Conversion, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He received his PhD in Bioscience Engineering at KU Leuven in 2018 under the guidance of Prof. Bert F. Sels and Dr Danny Verboekend in the field of heterogeneous catalysis for biomass conversion.. His current research focuses on heterogeneous catalysis and sustainable chemistry, including biomass conversion, CO2 and solid waste valorization.

Bert F. Sels is Professor and head of Center for Sustainable Catalysis and Engineering at KU Leuven, Beligium. He obtained his Ph.D degree in 2000 in the field of heterogeneous oxidation catalysis. Professor Sels? research activities cover the field of heterogeneous catalysis for future challenges in industrial organic and environmental catalysis.
