Hydrodeoxygenation of lignin-derived phenols into alkanes by using nanoparticle catalysts combined with Bronsted acidic ionic liquids

Yan, NingYuan, YuanDykeman, RyanKou, YuanDyson, Paul J.2010-12-152010-12-152010-12-15201010.1002/anie.201001531https://infoscience.epfl.ch/handle/20.500.14299/62137WOS:000280697600030The transformation of lignin-derived phenolic compds. to alkanes was achieved using catalysts based on Bronsted acidic ionic liqs. (ILs). The catalytic system is composed of metal nanoparticles (NPs) and a functionalized Bronsted acidic IL immobilized in a nonfunctionalized IL, allowing hydrogenation and dehydration reactions to occur in tandem. Compared to previous systems that are either performed with metal sulfite or with mineral acid/ supported metal catalysts in water, this system allows lignin derivs. to be upgraded in an efficient and less energy-demanding process.biofuelsionic liquidsligninnanoparticle catalysistandem catalysisCopolymer Stabilized NanocatalystsFast PyrolysisBio-OilBiphasic HydrogenationRhodium NanoparticlesSolvolysis LigninKraft LigninBiodieselConversionWoodHydrodeoxygenation of lignin-derived phenols into alkanes by using nanoparticle catalysts combined with Bronsted acidic ionic liquidstext::journal::journal article::research article
