As naturally occurring and abundant sources of non-fossil carbon,
lignin and lignans offer exciting possibilities as a source of
commercially valuable products, moving away from
petrochemical-based feedstocks in favour of renewable raw
materials. Lignin can be used directly in fields such as
agriculture, livestock, soil rehabilitation, bioremediation and the
polymer industry, or it can be chemically modified for the
fabrication of specialty and high-value chemicals such as resins,
adhesives, fuels and greases. Lignin and Lignans as Renewable Raw
Materials presents a multidisciplinary overview of the
state-of-the-art and future prospects of lignin and lignans. The
book discusses the origin, structure, function and applications of
both types of compounds, describing the main resources and values
of these products as carbon raw materials. Topics covered include:
Structure and physicochemical properties Lignin detection methods
Biosynthesis of lignin Isolation methods Characterization and
modification of lignins Applications of modified and unmodified
lignins Lignans: structure, chemical and biological properties
Future perspectives This book is a comprehensive resource for
researchers, scientists and engineers in academia and industry
working on new possibilities for the application of renewable raw
materials. For more information on the Wiley Series in Renewable
Resources, visit www.wiley.com/go/rrs
