Benefits of technology

This patented technology allows for more efficient separation of lighter components from biomass without consuming any energy sources like water vapor or air during processing. It also achieves this process at moderate temperatures (<100 degrees Celsius).

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical solution describes methods for converting biomass residues containing lignins into valuable chemicals through decomposition or reduction chemistry techniques involving specific types of reactants like alcohydroxylic acids and carboxynitrilones. These technologies involve expensive precious metals catalyst systems and solvents, while effective catalyst compositions based on transition elements play crucial roles during these decompositation steps.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for catalytically depolymerizing lignin by using MTO (Methyltrioxorhenium) under a microwave promoted condition, and relates to a novel method for converting a lignin beta-O-4 model compound and a lignin raw material into a corresponding aromatic compound under a microwave irradiation condition by taking the MTO as a catalyst and ionic liquid as a reaction medium. The method comprises the following steps: adding the catalyst and a lignin oligomer in the ionic liquid, preheating and dissolving, feeding into a microwave reaction system, reacting for two minutes under the microwave irradiation condition, and efficiently and quickly depolymerizing the lignin, thus obtaining a monophenol compound. Compared with a traditional lignin depolymerization method, the method has the distinct characteristics that additional addition of a hydrogen source and an oxygen source is not required, the reaction condition is mild, the selectivity of monophenol products is high, the reaction speed is fast, and environment friendliness is realized. According to the method disclosed by the invention, a mild depolymerization strategy without consuming the hydrogen source is developed for preparation of aromatic chemicals by starting from a reproducible lignin resource, and meanwhile, a new path is developed for producing the aromatic compound through a non-petroleum route.
