Conversion of organosolv and kraft lignins into value-added compounds assisted ...
Sosa, Filipe H. B.; Bjelić, Ana; Coutinho, João A. P.; Costa, Mariana C.; Likozar, Blaž; Jasiukaitytė-Grojzdek, Edita; Grilc, MihaIn this study, an acidic deep eutectic solvent (DES) was used as a benign solvent to valorise technical lignins by breaking down their structure into value-added aromatic compounds. The action of an acidic DES composed of cholinium chloride ([Ch]Cl) and oxalic acid (Oxa), at a molar ratio of 1 : 1, towards the depolymerisation of Kraft and Organosolv lignins (KL and OL) was studied under mild conditions (80 °C,...
Crustacean waste biorefinery as a sustainable cost-effective business model
Vicente, Filipa A.; Ventura, Sónia P. M.; Passos, Helena; Dias, Ana C. R. V.; Torres-Acosta, Mario A.; Novak, Uroš; Likozar, BlažMarine-derived food wastes mainly include seafood, fish and feed production resources. From the crustaceans traded annually, 6 to 8 million tonnes of valuable shrimp, lobster and/or crab shells waste are produced worldwide. In this systemic work, the researchers with complementary technical expertise, covering the fields of chemical engineering design, chemistry, materials, predictive environmental sciences and...
