Lignin is the second most abundant terrestrial biopolymer after cellulose and is the largest renewable source of aromatic groups in nature. In this work, the study was carried out on the selective extraction of lignin from oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) using alkaline and ultrasound-assisted alk...
