It is a challenging task to simultaneously achieve selective depolymerization and valorization of lignin due to their complex structure and relatively stable bonds. We herein report an efficient depolymerization strategy that employs 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) as oxidant/catalyst to selectively convert different oxidized lignin models to a wide variety of 2-phenylbenzimidazole-based compounds in up to 94 % yields, by reacting with o-phenylenediamines with varied substituents. This method could take full advantage of both Cβ and/or Cγ atom in lignin structure to furnish the desirable products instead of forming byproducts, thus exhibiting high atom economy. Furthermore, this strategy can effectively transform both the oxidized hardwood (birch) and softwood (pine) lignin into the corresponding degradation products in up to 45 wt% and 30 wt%, respectively. Through a “one-pot” process, we have successfully realized the oxidation/depolymerization/valorization of natural birch lignin at the same time and produced the benzimidazole derivatives in up to 67 wt% total yields.

Lignin is an abundant source of aromatics, and the depolymerization of lignin provides significant potential for producing high-value chemicals. Selective hydrogenolysis of the C-O ether bond in lignin is an important strategy for the production of fuels and chemical feedstocks. In our study, catalytic hydrogenolysis of lignin model compounds (β-O-4, α-O-4 and 4-O-5 model compounds) over Ni3S2-CS catalysts was investigated. Hence, an array of 2D carbon nanostructure Ni3S2-CSs-X-Yderived catalysts were produced using different compositions at different temperatures (X= 0 mg, 0.2 mg, 0.4 mg, 0.6 mg, and 0.8 mg; Y = 600 °C, 700 °C, 800 °C, and 900 °C) were prepared and applied for hydrogenolysis of lignin model compounds and depolymerization of alkaline lignin. The highest conversion of lignin model compounds (β-O-4 model compound) was up to 100% and the yield of the obtained corresponding ethylbenzene and phenol could achieve 92% and 86%, respectively, over the optimal Ni3S2-CSs-0.4-700 catalyst in iPrOH at 260 °C without external H2. The 2D carbon nanostructure catalysts performed a good dispersion on the surface of the carbon nanosheets, which facilitated the cleavage of the lignin ether bonds. The physicochemical characterization studies were carried out by means of XRD, SEM, TEM, H2-TPR, NH3-TPD, Raman and XPS analyses. Based on the optimal reaction conditions (260 °C, 4 h, 2.0 MPa N2), various model compounds (β-O-4, α-O-4 and 4-O-5 model compounds) could also be effectively hydrotreated to produce the corresponding aromatic products. Furthermore, the optimal Ni3S2-CSs-0.4-700 catalyst could be carried out in the next five consecutive cycle experiments with a slight decrease in the transformation of lignin model compounds.

Paragraph 0044-0051, (2021/05/22)
The invention provides application of a tungsten oxide supported monatomic catalyst in preparation of aromatic compounds by hydrogenolysis of lignin. According to the method, various beta-O-4 model molecules, organic lignin, lignosulfonate and alkali lignin are taken as raw materials, and high-selectivity cracking of aryl ether bonds is realized in a hydrogen atmosphere at the temperature of 150-240 DEG C and the pressure of 0.7-3.0 MPa to obtain the aromatic compound. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages that when renewable natural biomass is used as the raw material and different lignin is used as the raw material for conversion, the highest yield of the aromatic bio-oil is 72%. Raw materials are cheap and wide in source; inorganic acid and alkali are not needed, and generation of a large amount of alkali liquor in traditional lignin catalysis is avoided; the method has the characteristics of cheap tungsten-based catalyst, green reaction process, atom economy and the like, and also has the characteristics of mild reaction conditions, high activity and selectivity, environment-friendly reaction process and the like.
