An undergraduate student is completing her project on organosolv pulping using ethanol, under my direct supervision. She is struggling with the material balance since the reaction equation of LIGNIN + ETHANOL is not known. Please help us. Thank you.
Hi Mr. Muryanto
According to my experience, ethanol as a solvent, can damage lignin nanoparticle surfaces. I have seen such effect under ESEM (Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope). I do not have much info concerning the corresponding reaction.

under specific condition it seems to under go for condensation reactions
Dear Dr Issawi, Dr Boczkaj, Dr Rabemanolontsoa, Dr Muhammad,
thank you all for your explanation.
As expected, there will be no specific chemical reactions in this case, unless certain conditions are met.
Once again, thank you very much.
