  • Derivatives of native lignin from hardwood feedstocks
    Patent number: 8288460
    Abstract: One aspect of the invention relates to hardwood lignin derivatives having an aliphatic hydroxyl content of from about 5.2 mmol/g to about 7 mmol/g lignin, and the preparation method thereof. The lignin derivatives have a desired antioxidant activity characterized by the normalized radical scavenging index (RSI). Another aspect of the invention relates to compositions comprising the hardwood lignin derivative. Another aspect of the invention relates to a use of the hardwood lignin derivatives comprising incorporating the hardwood lignin derivatives into polymer compositions.

  • DERIVATIVES OF NATIVE LIGNIN FROM SOFTWOOD FEEDSTOCKS
    Publication number: 20100305243
    Abstract: The present invention provides softwood derivatives of native lignin having a certain aliphatic hydroxyl content. Surprisingly, it has been found that consistent and predictable antioxidant activity may be provided by selecting for derivatives of native lignin having a certain aliphatic hydroxyl content.

  • METHOD FOR TREATING WOOD
    Publication number: 20080063884
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for treating wood and other cellulosic materials to render the resistance to wood attacking organisms, such as termite, fungi and insects. More particularly, the present invention relates to a process for treating wood with borate preservatives which contain at least one boron-containing component and at least one organic component capable of retaining impregnated borate inside the treated wood even upon contact with water. The organic borate-retaining components are lignin-based materials, alcohol-based materials, protein, and wood extracts.
