Extraction and Characterization of Lignin From Cashew Apple Bagasse Aiming Future Application Within New Materials

Abstract

The lignins resulting of pretreatment from cashew apple bagasse with alkaline hydrogen peroxide and acid/alkali were extracted and characterized. The extracted lignin's showed similar characteristics to those mentioned in the literature, becoming a product of great potential raw for production of different materials. The application of the obtained lignins as material shows a positive impact for the economy.
