About this collection
We are delighted to share with you a selection of the papers associated with a Faraday Discussion on Frontiers in physical chemistry for lignin valorisation. More information about the related event may be found here: http://rsc.li/lignin-fd2025. Additional articles will be added to the collection as they are published. The final versions of all the articles presented and a record of the discussions will be published after the event.
This Faraday Discussion aims to further the understanding of the physical-chemical processes that are the basis for lignin extraction, stabilisation and degradation. Focusing on the latest developments in lignin valorisation, this Faraday Discussion will bring together researchers at the forefront of physical-chemical research.
On behalf of the organising committee, we look forward to welcoming you to London.
