Valorization of Lignin by Partial Wet Oxidation Using Sustainable Heteropoly Acid Catalysts

Abstract: The production of carboxylic acids by partial wet oxidation of alkali lignin at elevated temperatures and pressures was studied experimentally. Two different heteropoly acids, phosphotungstic acid (H3PW12O40) and phosphomolybdic acid (H3PMo12O40), were used to catalyze the oxidation of lignin under hydrothermal conditions. Factors influencing the total yield of carboxylic acids formed during the partial oxidation of lignin were investigated. Formic, acetic and succinic acids were the major products identified.… Show more

“…. ) acids [347,348]. Since elemental chlorine-free paper took the use of chlorine off the pulping sector, this oxidant has not been taken into account for lignin oxidation and has been replaced by wet air [349][350][351], steam [352][353][354], pure oxygen [355,356], ozone [357][358][359], hydrogen peroxide [360][361][362], and peroxy acids [363].…”

“…Among metals, noble metals like palladium can be highlighted [366,367], while CuO, Mn 3 O 4 and CoO 3 can be mentioned as examples of metal oxides [368,369]. Two different polyoxometalates, phosphomolybdic and phosphotungstic acids, have shown different catalytic behaviors and the reaction pathways of lignin oxidation to carboxylic acids [348]. Inspired on natural enzymes, taking manganese peroxidase as the most illustrative example, biomimetic catalysts with metallic core and organic ligands have been tested for lignin oxidative conversion.…”

“…Interest in renewable feedstock for the chemical industry has increased considerably over the last decades, mainly due to environmental concerns and foreseeable shortage of fossil raw materials. Lignocellulosic biomass is an abundant source of bio-based raw material that is readily available and can be utilized as an alternative source for chemical production [1][2][3][4].…”

“…This positioning of lignin is borne out of its cost-effectiveness, sustainability and ability to directly meet requirements for applications, or with modification in some cases. Although, lignin can be valorized into a wide range of chemicals and biomaterials, it is still underutilized when compared to cellulose [ 9 ]. Commercial scale development of lignin and its derivatives still requires evaluation and trade-offs between economics of scale, environmental impacts, products standards to facilitate trade, market trends and products aesthetics [ 10 ].…”
