Kinetic study of the reactivity of lignin model compounds towards H-transfer hydrogenolysis under hydrothermal conditions
Résumé
This work presents kinetic studies on the hydrogenolysis of eight lignin model compounds emulating various C-O and C-C linkages under hydrothermal conditions. Reaction rate constants and apparent activation energies of bond cleavage were determined, allowing ranking the bonds reactivity.
Keywords: lignin model compounds; hydrogenolysis; kinetic study.
