Abstract:
The present invention relates to an activated lignin composition, its manufacture and its use thereof. It also relates to a resin comprising lignin, its manufacture and use.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a process for preparing a binder for an asphalt composition. The binder comprises lignin, a renewable and bio-based material, which replaces part of the fossil-based bitumen.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a process for the production of thermally stabilized agglomerated lignin, which avoids melting and/or significant foaming during subsequent thermal processing. The process comprises the steps of providing agglomerated lignin and heating the agglomerated lignin to obtain thermally stabilized agglomerated lignin. The thermally stabilized lignin can be further processed to a carbon enriched material.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a liquid lignin mixture comprising 3-50 wt% methanol, 12-50 wt% ligninand5-85 wt% aqueous alkali solution wherein the concentration of said aqueous alkali solution is 1 to 50 wt% of alkali in water, based on the weight of said alkali solution prior to mixing with the other components of the mixture. The liquid lignin mixture can be used to manufacture lignin-based phenolic resins, which are particularly useful in the manufacture of laminates.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an improved process for preparing an aqueous dispersion of lignin and the use of said suspension in the preparation of a resin.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a liquid lignin composition, particularly useful in the manufacture of resins for products such as insulation, laminates and engineered wood products such as oriented strand boards (OSB).The liquid lignin composition has a low viscosity even at low water content.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to adhesive mixtures. In particular, the invention concerns the use of lignin in biobased hot-melt (non-pressure sensitive) and pressure sensitive adhesives, as well as novel adhesive mixtures suitable for use as such adhesives. The adhesive mixture comprises 25-85 wt-% lignin, 10-75 wt-% plasticizer, 0-50 wt-% tackifier and 0-40 wt-% waxes, by solid weight. The combined amount of lignin, plasticizer, tackifier and waxes is at least 90 wt-%, by solid weight, of the adhesive mixture.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to production of granular carbon, prepared from lignin. The process comprises the steps of providing agglomerated lignin, heating the agglomerated lignin to obtain thermally stabilized lignin and subjecting the thermally stabilized agglomerated lignin to heat treatment to obtain granular carbon.
