Scale-up of a photochemical flow reactor for the production of lignin-coated titanium dioxide as a sunscreen ingredient (2021)
Journal Article
Fournier, K., Marina, N., Joshi, N., Berthiaume, V. R., Currie, S., Lanterna, A. E., & Scaiano, J. C. (2021). Scale-up of a photochemical flow reactor for the production of lignin-coated titanium dioxide as a sunscreen ingredient. Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology, 7, Article 100040. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpap.2021.100040

Lignin-protected TiO2 can reduce the release of free radicals photogenerated by TiO2. This can be achieved through the intrinsic absorption of lignin that acts as an antioxidant strategically located on the surface of TiO2 particles while retaining –...
