Investigating (Pseudo)-Heterogeneous Pd-Catalysts for Kraft Lignin Depolymerization under Mild Aqueous Basic Conditions

Lignin is one of the main components of lignocellulosic biomass and corresponds to the first renewable source of aromatic compounds. It is obtained as a by-product in 100 million tons per year, mainly from the paper industry, from which only 2–3% is upgraded for chemistry purposes, with the rest bei...
