Characteristics, Industrial Sources, and Utilization of Lignins from Non-Wood Plants

  • Chapter
Chemical Modification, Properties, and Usage of Lignin

Abstract

Non-wood fibers were the first material ever used by mankind for paper production and had played a dominant role until about one hundred years ago. Today, non-wood fibers such as bagasse and straw remain an important pulping raw material in certain developing countries with limited forest resources. In addition, non-wood fibers such as abaca, sisal, flax, jute, and hemp are used to produce specialty papers in several countries.
