Commercial Use of Lignin-Based Materials
Abstract
The usefulness of industrial lignins has been demonstrated by the profitability of the lignin chemicals business operated worldwide. The total sales in 1980 amounted to 180 million dollars. By 1996 that number had grown to 600 million dollars. This growth is fueled by demand in the traditional industries: oil well drilling additives, concrete additives, dyestuff dispersants, agricultural chemicals, animal feed and other industrial binders. Within the past few years new potential uses for modified commercial lignins have appeared that will continue to fuel this growth. Specialty polymers for the paper industry, enzyme protection, neutralization of biocides, precious metal recovery aids and wood preservation are some examples of these advanced uses.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
