| Title | Process yielding high value fuel additives (octane enhancers) from lignin |
| Knowhow is available for | Efficient process for the depolymerization of lignin to produce substituted phenolic monomer compounds that are further converted to fuel additives |
| Summary | NCL scientists have developed an efficient 2 step process for depolymerization of lignin to substituted phenolic monomer compounds which could be further processed for use as high value fuels/additives. The process operates under milder reaction conditions (temperature range of 215- 250 ÌŠC). The reaction time is of 5 mins to 2 hrs. Product yield is >25%. |
| Advantages | • Yields fuel additives from a renewable source • Milder reactions due to the solid acid catalyst used- work under 270 ̊ C • Process is more environmentally friendly than the conventional processes due to the recyclable catalysts • This process results in very little loss of the products in the form of gas or due to degradation |
