Valorization of enzymatic hydrolysis lignin via PEG grafting to enhance hydrothermal pretreatment performance and saccharification efficiency of poplar sawdust.
Lignocellulosic biomass is inherently recalcitrant due to lignin's spatial obstruction and non-productive enzyme binding, which are the major barriers to economic biorefining. This work developed a valorization and reintegration process for lignin to convert enzymatic hydrolysis lignin (EHL) into PEG-grafted lignin mat...
