Outline of Final Research Achievements

Based on our new concept of total resourcing of lignocellulosic biomass as chemical feedstock, fundamental technique of catalytic reaction process was developed for utilizing aromatic structure in depolymerized lignin, and producing feedstock of aromatic polymer. As a result, we have found the following three achievements: 1) furan ring and aliphatic ether bond were successfully decomposed by in-situ hydrocracking using methanol as a hydrogen source with Pt/Al2O3 catalyst. 2) p-Propylphenol was converted into aromatic amines, which could be employed as monomer feedstock of engineering plastics, using NH3 gas with zeolite catalysts. 3) Transalkylation of p-propylphenol in benzene solvent co-produced phenol and C3-benzenes using zeolite catalysts.
