Review
"The 27 papers, from a symposium in Dallas for which no date is mentioned, consider the second most abundant organic substance on earth, which is removed from wood during the paper-making process and sold widely for uses ranging from road dust binder to a polymer component in printed circuit boards. Scientists from throughout the world explore some of the aspects still not fully understood, among them the history of the chemistry, technology and utilization; the impact of genetic engineering of popular lignins on kraft pulping performances; classifying lignin according to chemical and molecular structure; blends of biodegradable thermoplastics with lignin esters; and the interplay between oxygen-derived radical species in the delignification during oxygen and hydrogen peroxide bleaching."--SciTech Book News
"These selections were developed from an ACS symposium sponsored by the Cellulose, Paper, and Textile Division in honor of the 1997 Anselme Payen Award recipient, Joseph L. McCarthy. Five sections (History and Structure; Biochemistry; Analysis; Modification and Utilization; and Utilization, Pulping, and Bleaching) cover the gamut of current knowledge concerning this second-most-abundant organic substance on earth. Chemical pulping, one of the 10 largest industrial activities in North America, removes lignin from wood. Issues concerning lowering costs, improving environmental safety, and enhancing product quality are thus major considerations." -- Today's Chemist at Work, May 2000
Product Description
Lignin forms the woody cell walls of plants and the cement material between the plant walls, and after cellulose, it is the second most abundant biopolymer in the world. This book examines the biochemistry of lignin formation, lignin modification and utilization as a polymer, lignin in pulping and bleaching, chemical and physical properties of lignin, and lignin biodegradation.
