Ironing out the kinks: A ferric catalyzed process for selective monomerization of lignin from whole biomass while leaving the cellulosic fraction in high purity

摘要

1. Total aromatic oil yields: 50 - 87% 2. Total aromatic monomer yields: 14-25% 3. The yields of monomers 2 and 3 significantly increase with Fenton modification. 4. Near theoretical yields in enzymatic conversion of polysaccharides to free sugars in 48 hours. 5. Enhanced enzymatic activity with Fenton modified solid residue.
