Abstract
Lignin valorization is nowadays an important research topic, both from academic and industrial point of view. This book reviews some key developments in the field, with an important contribution from the research conducted at LSRE-LCM, since more than 30 years. Pulp mills as biorefineries, integrated process for vanillin and syringaldehyde production from kraft lignin, polyurethanes from recovered and depolymerized lignins, and polyphenols from bark of eucalyptus globulus are the treated topics, which evidence the importance to approach lignin valorization from an integrated point of view, without neglecting the actual context of the pulp industry. Thus, lignin isolation from black liquor to be converted into chemicals (vanillin and syringaldehyde) and polyurethanes, and the integration of bark eucalyptus globulus valorization, contribute to a more sustainable approach and an enlarged concept of circular bio(economy).
