WOOD WASTE-DERIVED ORGANOSOLV LIGNIN-BASED CARBON FIBERS FOR ENERGY STORAGE APPLICATIONS
This study examined the feasibility of recycling wood waste to produce organosolv lignin suitable as a precursor for carbon fibers. Mixed wood waste, pine, and elm sawdust were used as feedstock. Lignin was isolated using an organosolv method with a mixture of formic and acetic acids, which reduced the use of aggressiv...
