Nitrogenous Fertilizers from Lignins — A Review

  • Chapter
Book cover Chemical Modification, Properties, and Usage of Lignin

Abstract

The desire to apply and utilize lignin as a plant nutrient is prompted by two aspects. The first one is the chemical relationship between lignin and humus. The lignin component of plants is a basic chemical substance for the formation of soil organic matter (SOM). Humic substances are required for the soils to become fertile. At the same time they essentially influence the structure and the biological activity of the soils. The second aspect is the availability of great quantities of technical lignin, a by-product in the chemical processes of wood utilization. Nowadays, this happens almost exclusively in chemical pulp manufacture. However, the hydrolysis lignin from the processes of wood hydrolysis is also noteworthy from the historical point of view. Over the past few decades, chemical pulp manufacture has increased on a global scale, and so has the amount of byproduct lignin. In the modern industrial methods of chemical pulping technical lignins are used as a valuable fuel and they are also incorporated into the pulping chemical recovery system. Efforts made for their more effective material utilization, however, continue to be significant, in particular because of the fact that lignin is a sustainable, renewable material.
