Himadri Roy Ghatak: Lignin, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This book covers the current know-how on lignin, its sustainable isolation from lignocellulose, characterization of the isolated lignin, and transforming it to add value. The book is divided into three sections. A section on lignin isolation elaborates the well-established commercial delignification methods, including recent developments. The lignin characterization section includes traditional methods based on wet chemistry and advanced characterization techniques. It covers lignin value addition with the possibility of transforming lignin into functional materials, backed by figures and graphical presentations.

Features:

• Provides exclusive information on lignin isolation, including conventional processes as well as recent advances,
• Covers reaction mechanisms, kinetics, mass transfer, and unit operations, including all aspects of laboratory-based lignin characterization,
• Focuses on lignin as a starting material for obtaining functional materials,
• Discusses the current state of advancement of lignin value addition.

This book is aimed at researchers, professionals, and graduate students in chemical engineering and industrial chemistry.
