  1. 1. Catalytic hydrotreating of lignin

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Markus Lilja; [2019]
    Keywords : Lignin; hydrotreating; kemiteknik; chemical engineering; Chemistry; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : One of the main challenge’s society faces today is climate change caused by CO2 due to the de-pendence on fossil fuels. To combat the increasing CO2 levels there is a need to develop renewable fuels. One such fuel could potentially be derived from lignin. In this thesis, lignin derived from a pulp and paper mill was first treated and cleaned. READ MORE

    Abstract : The energy consumption in the world is increasing at the same time as the fossil fuel resources are limited. This is causing a rising interest in renewable energy sources over the world. To reduce dependency on fossil fuel sources biomass is an excellent alternative. READ MORE

  3. 3. Hydrogen Assisted Lignin Depolymerization with Pulp Mill Catalysts

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Linnéa Kollberg; [2017]
    Keywords : Lignin; depolymerization; pulp mill catalysts; hydrogenolysis; base catalyzed depolymerization; Chemistry;

    Abstract : As part of the development of a process for production of a lignin-rich oil that can serve as a renewable feedstock to existing petroleum refineries, hydrogen assisted depolymerization of lignin in filtered black liquor has been investigated. This process offers the possibility to reduce fossil emissions from transportation by utilization of the largest renewable carbon resource in Sweden, namely the forest. READ MORE
