Abstract
Lignin can be converted into value-added products that could significantly improve the economics of a biorefinery. The polymeric lignin can be converted into low molecular weight and monomeric aromatic forms that serve as the building block for chemical syntheses of high-value products. This chapter presents the utilization of lignin to derive value-added products and their applications.
