| Research Abstract |
Pretreatments separating polysaccharides from lignin are necessary for conversion of wood into biofuels and chemicals viaenzymatic saccharification. In this study we degraded wood in aqueous media to separate polysaccharidesand lignin. To this end, we developed microwave reactions by synthesizing heteropolyacids. For the synthesis of heteropolyacids, we applied functional screening methods from the reaction mixtures. We found the catalysts decomposing β-O-4 lignin dimer model compounds at 70 ℃.
