Ligno Advances

We are a multinational team of researches with strong backgrounds in chemistry, pulp and paper, biotechnology, and chemical engineering. Our focus is on researching and producing green chemicals from fibrous materials that are environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and are a sustainable substitute for fossil fuels and petrochemicals. We have an extensive record in the production and characterization of various biomass products, and we are familiar with the latest technologies developed for processing lignocellulosic materials and the application of these technologies. We decided to commercialize our biomass-based products by benefiting from our state-of-the-art lab and enthusiastic scholars. We are targeting academia and industry to provide them with our green sustainable materials. Our research significantly contributes to the knowledge in the general context of biorefinery, which will advance Canada as a leading country in biorefining field. Our purpose is to revive the Canadian pulp and paper industry and replace petroleum-based products with lignocellulosic biomass materials. With the ability to produce custom specialty chemicals, we can suit your need. LignoAdvances is hosted by Lakehead University, has access to state-of-the-art equipment, to name a few, XRD, TEM, SEM, NMR, XPS, Stagnation point adsorption reflectometry (SPAR), Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D), Focused beam reflectance measurement (FBRM), Tensiometers, Ion chromatography, Gel permeation chromatography, Thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), Rheometer, High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), Static light scattering (SLS) and Dynamic light scattering (DLS), Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), Elemental analysis (CHNOS), Gel permeation chromatography (GPC), Parr reactors, Titrators and various industry relevant driers. We are ready scientifically and equipped to change the world by introducing our green chemicals.
