Start of new project: Lignin oxidation technology for versatile lignin dispersants
Biorizon co-initiator VITO is partner in a new project, called LigniOx: Lignin oxidation technology for versatile lignin dispersants. The aim of the LigniOx Innovation Action is to demonstrate the techno-economic viability of alkali-O2 oxidation technology (LigniOx) for the conversion of variable lignin-rich side-streams into versatile dispersants, and especially high-performance concrete and mortar plasticizers.

Call for participation BIO-HArT: test bio-aromatics samples and discuss desired characteristics
Currently partners in Biorizon's BIO-HArT project are looking for companies with an interest in biobased aromatics that would like to receive samples to test them in their own applications and share the results with us. (In time), we will be able to provide samples of sugars, lignin, furans, alkylphenols, mono-, di- and tri-acids, functionalised phenols and other aromatic compounds. We offer you a unique opportunity to share your specific wishes with us regarding the characteristics of the samples (functionality, reactivity, ..) in order to discuss how we could cooperate and both benefit from the results. In collaboration with the industry applications will be developed based on these test samples.

Biorizon covered by TV show Booming Brabant
Last week Shared Research Center Biorizon was covered by the Dutch TV show Booming Brabant. Scientific manager Jan Harm Urbanus and manager business development Joop Groen show how bio-aromatics can be developed from manure and sieving material from wastewater.
