| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Production of monophenolic compounds from lignin by using partial oxidation and hydrogenolysis in the absence of gaseous hydrogen addition. The weight change of lignin during oxidation was measured using temperature-programmed reaction method and the oxidation uptake rate was successfully formulated. To develop a new hydrogenation system, which requires no hydrogen addition, hydrogenation of benzofuran, which is model compound for depolymerized lignin, over platinum loaded catalyst in methanol solvent was examined. It was found that hydrogen production from methanol over platinum catalyst and hydrogenation of the furan moiety of benzofuran with hydrogen produced in-situ occur in this reaction system.
