High-Yield Production of Aromatic Monomers by Pyrolysis-Assisted Catalytic Conversion of Softwood Lignin
Short Introductive summary
Lignin-derived products have been effectively stabilized by catalytic hydrogenation of the product radicals and unsaturated side chains, even in the absence of H2, because the lignin side-chain generates reactive hydrogen species. The pyrolytically stable C–C bonds are also catalytically cleaved, yielding aromatic monomers in excess of 60 mol% (based on lignin aromatic rings).
