Information @ a Glance
- Lignins are abundant plant
biopolymers accounting for approximately 30% of the organic
carbon in the biosphere Lignin is nature’s most abundant biomass
substance with natural glue-like characteristics
- The potential supply of
lignin is virtually limitless
- Lignin contains no oil based
contaminants. Like magnesium chloride it is soluble in water.
Further, lignin is biodegradable
- The physical and chemical
properties differ depending on the extraction method. For
example, lignosulfonates are hydrophilic and will dissolve in
water. These lignins are products of sulfite pulping. Kraft
lignins are hydrophobic and will not dissolve in water. Kraft
lignins are obtained from the Kraft pulping process. Other
technologies use an organic solvent or a high-pressure steam
treatment to remove lignins from plants
- Derivatives of lignins, such
as lignosulfonates, have many different industrial applications.
- applications are in food
products, serving as emulsifiers in animal feed and as raw
material in the production of vanillin. Lignin uses have
expanded into literally hundreds of applications - impacting on
many facets of our daily lives.
administration to patients.
- Technology for the extraction
of lignin, a
component of natural wood, from the chemicals used in the
pulping process is said to be available
- Lignin represents one of the
lowest-cost chemical
resources available on earth , depending on the price of oil
- Many pulp mills could benefit
from recovering lignin in terms of production capacity and
process economics
- There are two principal
categories of lignin: those which are sulphur bearing and those
which are sulphur-free. It is the sulphur bearing lignins which
have to date been commercialized. These include lignosulphonates
(world annual production of 500,000 tons) and Kraft lignins
(under 100,000 tons p.a.). Due to the lack of suitable
industrial processes, the sulphur-free lignins are as yet
non-commercialized.
