Depolymerization of Pine Wood Organosolv Lignin in Ethanol Medium over NiCu/SiO₂ and NiCuMo/SiO₂ Catalysts: Impact of Temperature and Catalyst Composition.

ABSTRACT: The process of thermocatalytic conversion of pine ethanol lignin in supercritical ethanol was studied over NiCu/SiO₂ and NiCuMo/SiO₂ catalysts bearing 8.8 and 11.7 wt.% of Mo. The structure and composition of ethanol lignin and the products of its thermocatalytic conversion were characterized via 2D-HSQC NMR spectroscopy, GC-MC. The main aromatic monomers among the liquid products of ethanol lignin conversion were alkyl derivatives of guaiacol (propyl guaiacol, ethyl guaiacol and methyl guaiacol). The total of the monomers yield in this case was 12.1 wt.%. The temperature elevation up to 350 °C led to a slight decrease in the yield (to 11.8 wt.%) and a change in the composition of monomeric compounds. Alkyl derivatives of pyrocatechol, phenol and benzene were observed
