Efficient Processing of Lignin to Bioproducts and Biofuels Conference: AIChE Annual MeetingYear: 2016Proceeding: 2016 AIChE Annual MeetingGroup: Innovations of Green Process Engineering for Sustainable Energy and Environment Type: Oral Room: Union Square 21 Location: Hilton San Francisco Union Square Time: Tuesday, November 15, 2016 - 8:30am-11:00am Chair(s):Yang, B., Washington State University Tri-Cities Co-chair(s):Regauskas, A., The University of Tennessee-KnoxvilleGao, J., WeyerhaeuserYuan, J. The current vision of biorefineries undervalues lignin’s potential to address the world’s product requirements. Utilizing lignin feedstock for production of high value bio-products along with biofuels offers a significant opportunity to enhance the overall operation efficiency, carbon conversion efficiency, economic viability, and sustainability of biofuels production. This technical session provides a platform for presentation of innovative research results and ideas related to the lignin conversion. The session covers valorization of lignin, depolymerization, and bio/chemical catalytic conversion to specific products.
