It subsequently discusses various thermal\/chemical modification techniques (pyrolysis, direct liquefaction and de-polymerization) for converting lignin into oils and chemical feedstocks, and the utilization of crude lignin, lignin-derived oils or depolymerized lignins (DLs) of reduced molecular weights and improved reactivity to produce lignin-based PF resins\/adhesives, PF\/PU foams and epoxy resins.\u003c\/p\u003eThe book will interest and benefit a broad readership (graduate students, academic researchers, industrial researchers and practitioners) in various fields of science and technology (chemical engineering, biotechnology, chemistry, material science, forestry, etc.).\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChunbao (Charles) Xu\u003c\/b\u003e, PhD, is currently a Professor of Chemical Engineering and NSERC\/FPInnovations Industrial Research Chair in Forest Biorefinery at the University of Western Ontario, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFatemeh Ferdosian\u003c\/b\u003e, PhD, is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Waterloo, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-06-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783662549575\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-662-54959-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 156\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47408334176396,"sku":"9783662549575","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783662549575.jpg?v=1775833678","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783662549575","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
