The electron beam irradiation (EBI) of native lignin has received little attention. Thus, its potential use in lignin-based biorefineries is not fully understood. EBI was applied to selected lignin samples and the structural and chemical changes were analyzed, revealing the suitability, limitations, and potential purpose of EBI in wood biorefineries. Isolated milled wood, kraft, and sulfite lignin from beech and eucalyptus were subjected to up to 200 kGy of irradiation. The analysis included gel ...[more]
