Lignin Depolymerization and Conversion: A Review of Thermochemical Methods

The structure of lignin suggests that it can be a valuable source of chemicals, particularly phenolics. However, lignin depolymerization with selective bond cleavage is the major challenge for converting it into value‐added chemicals. Pyrolysis (thermolysis), gasification, hydrogenolysis, chemical o...
