Organic catalyst, especially derived from lignocellulosic biomass, is currently being developed for application in reaction engineering. Lignin, a major constituent in biomass, is highly potential as carbon- based -derived catalyst. Carbon cryogel was prepared from acidic lignin-furfural mixtures vi...
