Though lignin is the second most abundant fraction byproduct of lignocellulose, it is currently mostly just combusted for steam and electricity generation. It is rarely valorized into other products like a dispersant for cement and gypsum. One major difficulty in converting and valorizing lignin-based byproducts it their highly variable composition. Both the substrate in which they are located, and the means of extraction affect their end composition and properties. There is much research into finding strong methods of breakdown of lignostilbenoid molecules. | |||
