From Pulp to Aromatic Products - Description of a Reaction Mechanism for Lignin Depolymerization During Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL)
Short Introductive summary
Lignin is a biopolymer that has the potential to make a major contribution to reducing the use of fossil raw materials in the chemical industry. In our study we investigated the hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) process of lignin dissolved in black liquor to produce aromatic monomer compounds which can be used as new platform chemicals. We analyzed the product phases with various different analytical methods to create a reaction scheme. Based on all the generated data a lumped reaction model is developed that can satisfactorily describe the depolymerization of lignin.
