A lignin-derived material improves plant nutrient bioavailability and growth through its metal chelating capacity

Abstract The lignocellulosic biorefinery industry can be an important contributor to achieving global carbon net zero goals. However, low valorization of the waste lignin severely limits the sustainability of biorefineries. Using a hydrothermal reaction, we have converted sulfuric acid lignin (SAL)...
