Organic electrosynthesis: a promising green methodology in organic chemistry

“…More information about biomass electrochemical transformations can be found in the specialized literature. 116,121 Fig. 32 Electrochemical regeneration of Cr(VI) for the whitening of waxes.…”

Electrocatalytic Lignin Oxidation

“…23 Indeed, studies on electrochemical biomass conversion date back several decades, with an excellent summary in the pioneering monograph "The Electrochemistry of Biomass and Derived Materials" by Chum and Baizer. 24 Recently, a few studies of electrochemical lignin oxidation focused on direct electrolysis. For example, Shiraishi and coworkers investigated the direct electrochemical oxidation of two β-O-4 lignin models at a carbon felt anode (Figure 1B).…”

Advances on biomass pretreatment using ionic liquids: An overview

“…[8][9][10] The major constituents of lignocellulosic biomass are polymeric carbohydrates; cellulose (40-50 wt%), hemicelluloses (25 wt%) and lignin (25 wt%). [11][12][13] Percentages of the three components may vary from species to species as well as across different parts in the same plant. Moreover, changeability of these components can be influenced by geography or environmental factors.…”
