Lignin is one of the important components in the valorization of lignocellulosic biomass. Lignin-based materials and chemicals represent potential value-added products for biorefineries. Lignin products have numerous applications and can be divided into three main groups. Group, in which lignin is fragmentized into smaller aromatic compounds such as phenol or benzene, toluene and xylene, is less developed than group where lignin is used as macromolecule, but has greater potential. Lignin as macromolecule is used as additive or polymer blend. Last group of lignin products are carbon materials, which include carbon fibres.
