The utilization of lignin to produce high value-added chems. is conducive to alleviating the fossil energy crisis. Herein, Ni nanoparticles supported on iron/nitrogen co-doped carbon was prepared by co-pyrolysis and solvothermal reduction method for catalytic hydrogenolysis (CH) of dealkaline lignin and its model compounds The catalysts were prepared under different calcination temperature, N/C ratio and Ni loading, and the optimal catalyst was Ni10%@Fe/NC0.33-800 (calcination temperature: 800°C, N/C ratio: 0.33, Ni loading: 10%) based the on the CH of benzyl Ph ether (BPE). Ni10%@Fe/NC0.33-800 showed good catalytic performance on the selective cleavage of C-O bond of lignin and its model compounds The BPE conversion reached up to 97.7% over Ni10%@Fe/NC0.33-800 under mild conditions (230°C, 1 MPa H2, and 0.5 h) with toluene and cyclohexanol as major products. Catalyst characterizations suggest that N content affects the formation of NiFe alloy and the synergistic effect between Ni and Fe plays an important role in CH of BPE. Moreover, Ni10%@Fe/NC0.33-800 could promote the cleavage of C-O bonds in dealkaline lignin through CH and hence enhance producing aromatics such as phenols, aromatic ethers, and aromatic esters, among which phenols are the main aromatics with guaiacols predominant. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 4-Benzyloxyphenol (cas: 103-16-2Formula: C13H12O2).
4-Benzyloxyphenol (cas: 103-16-2) belongs to ethers. Esters are also usually derived from carboxylic acids. It may also be obtained by reaction of acid anhydride or acid halides with alcohols or by the reaction of salts of carboxylic acids with alkyl halides. Liquid esters of low volatility serve as softening agents for resins and plastics. Esters also include many industrially important polymers. Polymethyl methacrylate is a glass substitute sold under the names Lucite and Plexiglas; polyethylene terephthalate is used as a film (Mylar) and as textile fibres sold as Terylene, Fortrel, and Dacron.Formula: C13H12O2
