A study in lignin capability to improve strength and water absorbency of starch polymers: a potential heat-resistant fluid-loss-controller in water based drilling fluids
(2021)In the oil and gas industries, drilling deep wells has rapidly become more significant to meet the global demand. The design of drilling fluids and choosing the proper additives are very important for the drilling operation's ... -
Sulfo-functionalization of lignin and its impact on the stabilization of colloidal systems
(2021)Lignin macromolecules, derived from renewable biomass resources, have gained extensive interest during the past decade as a sustainable substitute for synthetic oil-based materials. The main goal of this dissertation was ... -
Sulfonation of kraft lignon to water soluble value added products
(2014-12-11)Kraft lignin is water insoluble and has limited end-use applications. The main objective of this MSc studies was to rend kraft lignin water soluble, and various value-added products including dispersants and flocculants. ... -
Synthesized emulsifiers from kraft lignin and the role of mixing in oil-in-water emulsions
(2023)Oil-in-water emulsions are widely used in various industrial applications such as food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. An oil-in-water emulsion is a colloidal system in which oil droplets are dispersed in water with the ... -
Tall oil production process and characterization
(2017)Existing kraft pulp mills have seen the necessity to branch out from traditional pulp and paper products to alternative value-added products such as bioenergy and biomaterials as a result of increasing competition in the ... -
Valorization of Kraft lignin via alkaline and acid- mediated aerobic oxidation processes
(2023)Lignin is a complex heterogeneous aromatic compound derived from renewable plant biomass. Due to its aromatic backbone, it has grown interested in producing biochemicals and other polymeric applications. Depending on the ...
