Increasing the overall carbon and energy efficiency by integration of thermal processes with biological ones has gained considerable attention lately, especially within biorefining. A technology that is capable of processing wet feedstock with good energy efficiency is advantageous. Such a technolog...

The depolymerization of biolignin (BL), eucalyptus (EL), and hardwood lignins (HL) to simple aromatics was studied by a microwave assisted approach using NiO/H-ZSM-5 zeolites as catalysts. The catalysts prepared by the mechanochemical dry milling (MCDM) method contained bunsenite nano NiO particles ...
