BAGASSE AS A SOURCE OF VALUABLE PLATFORM CHEMICALS:TECHNOLOGICAL APPLICATION OF LIGNIN -RECENT TRENDS

摘要

Earlier paper with the same title dealt with various chemical constituents of bagasse with, particular reference to lignin and lignin based products. The present paper discusses recent developments in the application of lignin in various fields. Finally, a brief description is given of the work on use of lignin sulphonates as a catalyst in carbothermic reduction of metal oxides and metal sulphates.
