Abstract :
[en] One-pot depolymerisation of lignin, extracted from Miscanthus plants under acidic (formic acid lignin, FAL) or basic (ammonia lignin, AL) conditions, over Ni- and/or Nb-doped SBA-15, was the subject of this study. The aforementioned acid catalysts prepared by sol–gel method were characterized by SEM–EDX, ATR-FTIR, Raman, XRD, N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, CO2-TPD and NH3-TPD techniques. The increase in acidity due to the insertion of Nb into the SBA-15 structure promoted the selective cleavage of β–O–4 from ammonia lignin, leading to aromatic monomer yields up to 22 wt% in 6 h at 180 °C under 50 atm H2. The catalytic performances of Ni-Nb-SBA-15 as well as its stability were influenced by the chemical composition of the lignin sample as results of its extraction from the Miscanthus plant.
