Lignin Conversion Catalysis Av Chaofeng Zhang, Feng Wang

<b>Lignin Conversion Catalysis</b><p><b>Authoritative reference providing comprehensive knowledge on the lignin conversion process with recent developments of mechanisms and techniques</b><p><i>Lignin Conversion Catalysis: Transformation to Aromatic Chemicals</i> covers the strategy, catalysis, and mechanisms of cleaving lignin linkages to aromatic chemicals and crucially elaborates on the specifics of multiple original lignins. Sample topics covered in the work include: <ul><li>Lignin depolymerization, models, and techniques of various lignins by heterogeneous substrates (such as native lignins, Kraft lignins, and organosolv lignins)</li><li>Cleavage methods for lignins (such as oxidation and hydrogenation) as well as their main products (such as arenes, phenol, and acid)</li><li>Relationships among the strategy/method, catalyst, and mechanism when viewed from the cleavage order and the type of corresponding chemical bonds</li><li>Commercial components of lignin, a globally available
