PhD Scholarship Project: Lignin valorisation for the circular economy at Imperial College London , Department of Chemical Engineering. This PhD project focuses on the valorisation of lignin, the most abundant renewable source of aromatic carbon on Earth. The research will convert lignin into well-defined aromatic and aliphatic building blocks using reductive catalytic fractionation, mechanocatalysis, and related depolymerisation strategies applied directly to lignocellulosic biomass. You will wo...
