1. Palladium-catalyzed lignin valorization : Towards a lignin-based biorefinery
Sammanfattning : The work described in this thesis focuses on the cleavage of the β-O-4′ bond, which is the most abundant interunit linkage in the lignin polymer.In the first part, three methods based on palladium catalysis have been developed and their applicability has been verified using lignin model compounds.

2. Biosynthesis, interactions, and structure of native lignin
Sammanfattning : Wood biomass is an important resource in the development ofstrategies towards replacement of fossil-based materials. Woodcomprises cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin, in amounts thatvary between species. LÄS MER
3. Lignin Conversion to Value-Added Small-Molecule Chemicals : Towards Integrated Forest Biorefineries
Sammanfattning : Lignin is the most abundant aromatic biopolymer on Earth and has significant potential as a feedstock for industrial use. Due to its intrinsic heterogeneity and recalcitrance, lignin has been regarded as a low-value side-product in the pulp and paper industry and in second-generation biorefineries. LÄS MER
4. Catalytic valorization of lignocellulose : Direct and sidestream upgrading approaches
Sammanfattning : This work aims to explore different approaches for the valorization of lignocellulosic biomass. In this regard, two different strategies are presented: the catalytic upgrading of lignocellulose derivatives from industrial streams, such as pyrolytic oil and kraft lignin, and the direct catalytic fractionation of woody biomass.

5. Fractionation of woody biomass : lignin and suberin in focus
Sammanfattning : This thesis is dedicated to the research of fractionation and valorization of different types of woody biomass. In the first part, oak (Quercus suber) and birch (Betula pendula) barks are considered. Bark is the outer layer of wood and is treated as waste in the current wood processing technologies. LÄS MER
