The invention relates to the technical field of
organic synthesis, in particular to a
cerium-
manganese bimetallic catalyst, preparation of the
cerium-
manganese bimetallic catalyst and application of the
cerium-
manganese bimetallic catalyst in catalyzing ozonized
lignin to be converted into aromatic
aldehyde. The cerium-manganese bimetallic catalyst provided by the invention has a large number of
surface oxygen holes, and can convert herbal
lignin into high-added-value aromatic aldehydes such as p-hydroxybenzaldehyde,
vanillin and the like at
high selectivity and high conversion rate under mild conditions; the catalytic
system has good catalytic stability and substrate applicability. Compared with the prior art, under the action of the cerium-manganese bimetallic catalyst provided by the invention, the conversion rate of
lignin and the selectivity of high-added-value aromatic
aldehyde are remarkably improved; meanwhile, the catalyst is simple to prepare, wide in
raw material source, stable and easy to store; when the catalyst is used for preparing high-added-value aromatic
aldehyde through conversion of herbal lignin, the catalyst has
high selectivity and
high activity under mild conditions, and has good application value.
