Effects of sugars, furans, and their derivatives on hydrodeoxygenation of biorefinery lignin-rich wastes to hydrocarbons

Abstract

Valorization of biorefinery lignin-rich wastes is challenging but necessary for an economical process. These wastes usually mainly contain lignin with sugars, furans, and their derivatives as “impurities”. This study revealed that these compounds could suppress metal catalysts and inhibit lignin depolymerization and hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) reactions thus decrease yields of jet fuel range hydrocarbons from biomass-derived lignin.
