The effect of organic expanders including humus acid, lignin,vio-lanthrone and isoviolanthrone on the performances of the lead-acid battery are described.
Moreover, it was shown that degradation of lignin was promoted by veratryl alcohol added, no effect of veratryl alco-hol on degradation of cellulose and hemicellulose was detected.
The changes in chemical structure of residual lignin in reed kraft pulp after treatment with a white rot fungus,Panus conchatus have been investigated in the present paper.
That means the birch from high longitude and latitude areas will have lower content of the ash, extraction and lignin, higher content of the holocellulose and pentosan in the wood.
Velev and Ph.D. student Alexander Richter discovered that silver-based nanoparticles can be replaced with non-harmful nanoparticles based on an organic polymer called lignin, naturally found in most plants.
This tissue is what allows modern trees to grow tall and straight, because it contains lignin, a rigid organic polymer that gives the plant structural support.
And back in the Carboniferous, many of the decomposing microbes that could break down the hardy lignin -- and release CO2 as a result -- had yet to evolve.
Their ability to grow so tall is the result of lignin, a chemical that is the building block of wood, which first appeared in plants as early as 400 million years ago.
While wood is made up of the same nutritious carbohydrate called cellulose that makes up other tasty tree parts, most of the cellulose in wood is bound together by a complex molecule called lignin.
To avoid taking those extra steps, expert composters might add extra wood chips or paper products to the pile, since they have a lot of lignin — a tough component of plant cell walls which doesn't contain any nitrogen at all.
Insects like termites can go whole hog on the whole log, because they can " chew" the wood with their serrated mandibles AND also have the right gut machinery - AKA microbes - to break the lignin down on the molecular level.
