In Iran, researchers at Yasouj University in Iran have developed a magnetic nanocatalyst incorporating lignin, a wood-derived material often discarded as an industrial byproduct. The catalyst combines modified lignin, magnetite nanoparticles and an acidic ionic liquid to produce specialised nitrogen-containing compounds under solvent-free conditions. In laboratory tests, it achieved yields of up to 97% and […]
