Abstract

Abstract : The Cover Feature shows a cascade biorefinery process for the upgrading of technical lignins and sustainable production of phenolic oligomers of interest as substitutes for commercial antioxidants. A grass soda technical lignin undergoes a process combining solvent fractionation and treatment with an ionic liquid, and a comprehensive investigation of the structural modifications is performed.
