Methods of Chemical and Thermochemical Processing of Hydrolytic Lignin

The analysis of the latest publications on the use of hydrolytic lignin, which is a large-tonnage waste of wood chemical processing, was carried out. In its original form, the hydrolytic lignin is used as fuel, fuel briquettes and pellets, binders and adhesives, organic fertilizers, fillers and enterosorbents. The processing of hydrolytic lignin by chemical and thermochemical methods allows to significantly expand the range of valuable products obtained from it. They are used in chemical, oil and gas and construction industries, metallurgy and other areas. Hydrolytic lignin is most widely used for the production of carbon sorbents. Recently, methods of thermochemical processing of lignin into porous carbon materials with the required texture and strength characteristics as well as into valuable organic products have been developed
