Lignin is an abundant biopolymer, as well as cellulose and hemicellulose. Thus, this work aimed at isolating and characterizing the lignin from Eucalyptus spp. Sawdust—a lignocellulosic waste generated in large amounts in sawmills—to eval...

Plant cell walls are classified as primary and secondary walls. The primary wall is necessary for plant morphogenesis and supports cell growth and expansion. Once the growth and expansion ceases, specialized cells form secondary walls in order to giv...

The catalytic depolymerization of alkali lignin into phenolic monomers was studied using subcritical water. In this study, subcritical water was used as the greener solvent with heterogeneous catalysts. The goal of this study was to screen for the be...

Noble metal-based materials are enormously used as a cathode material for electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), which plays an important role in determining the performance of energy conversion and storage devices such as fuel cells, meta...

Due to the increased and excessive consumption of fossil fuels, sustainable alternative energy sources are badly needed to replace fossil fuels. The conversion of biomass into energy and value-added chemicals is one of the most promising potential pa...

Phycoremediation is an eco-friendly treatment for mining wastes. Copper at high concentrations is toxic for microalgae growth (bioremediation). Proteomics is a modern approach that can assist in elucidating, in detail, the highly complex metabolic me...
