Adding Value to Lignin by Oxidation in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide
BODY: The properties of lignins as emulsification agents in systems composed of water and oil are presented. Laboratory and industrial Kraft lignins were characterized in terms of surface activity and phase behavior in equilibrated Lignin−Oil−Water systems. Lignin−based emulsions were obtained for oil fractions of different Equivalent Alkane Carbon Number. The properties of emulsions obtained a...
متن کاملCellulosic ethanol: status and innovation.
Although the purchase price of cellulosic feedstocks is competitive with petroleum on an energy basis, the cost of lignocellulose conversion to ethanol using today's technology is high. Cost reductions can be pursued via either in-paradigm or new-paradigm innovation. As an example of new-paradigm innovation, consolidated bioprocessing using thermophilic bacteria combined with milling during fer...
متن کاملAdding value to relative-value units.
R units (RVUs) were developed in 1988 as a method of accounting for physicians’ work effort and hospital or clinic expenses. Because RVUs provided a uniform, formulaic metric for myriad clinical services, they quickly became the prevailing method for setting feefor-service payments for Medicare and private insurance. However, the dominance of the fee-forservice model has created strong structur...
متن کاملCellulosic Polymer Blends 1: With Vinyl Polymers
This chapter reviews recent studies on blends of conventional cellulose esters (CEs), such as cellulose acetate (CA), cellulose propionate (CP), and cellulose butyrate (CB), with non-crystalline vinyl (co)polymers mainly comprising the N-vinyl pyrrolidone (VP) unit. The mixing behavior of the CE/VP-containing copolymer blends is seriously affected by the chain length (i.e., carbon number) and d...
متن کاملWhat is (and is not) vital to advancing cellulosic ethanol.
Ethanol made biologically from cellulosic biomass, including agricultural and forestry residues, portions of municipal waste, and herbaceous and woody crops, is finally being widely recognized as a unique transportation fuel with powerful economic, environmental and strategic attributes. Although underfunded, it has been advanced to be competitive with corn ethanol; however, government policies...
