Graduates of the Process Development Of Lignin Depolymerization master's programme go on to careers in biomaterials research, sustainable chemical production, or further study in related fields. It focuses on the photocatalytic modification and depolymerisation of lignin, a natural biopolymer abundant in vascular-forming plants and a by-product of pulp production. This energy-efficient and health-safe method aims to advance the use of lignin in biomaterials and aromatic fine chemicals, with a side benefit of simplifying isolation and purification processes.
