Liberate Project
The main objective of the project was the development of an electrochemical plant to demonstrate the commercial opportunities of converting low cost lignin feedstock in high value biosustainable chemicals.
Liberate Project
Design of an electrochemical plant to demonstrate the commercial opportunities of converting low cost lignin feedstock in high value biosustainable chemicals such as vanillin, antioxidants or polyamide.

What are polyamide and polyester and where does it come from?
If we talk about polyester and polyamide, we must look for the family of polymers. Polymers are made up of a long chain (backbone), which is made up of molecules. These molecules are called monomers...
