Publication Open Access Production of aromatic compounds by catalytic depolymerization of technical and downstream biorefinery lignins(MDPI, 2020) Cornejo Ibergallartu, Alfonso; Bimbela Serrano, Fernando; Moreira, Rui; Hablich Alvarracin, Karina Lissett; García Yoldi, Íñigo; Maisterra Udi, Maitane; Portugal, Antonio; Gandía Pascual, Luis; Martínez Merino, Víctor; Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Ciencias; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua, PC036-037 Biovalorización; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaLignocellulosic materials are promising alternatives to non-renewable fossil sources when producing aromatic compounds. Lignins from Populus salicaceae., Pinus radiata and Pinus pinaster from industrial wastes and biorefinery effluents were isolated and characterized. Lignin was depolymerized using homogenous (NaOH) and heterogeneous (Ni-, Cu-or Ni-Cu-hydrotalcites) base catalysis and catalytic hydrogenolysis using Ru/C. When homogeneous base catalyzed depolymerization (BCD) and Ru/C hydrogenolysis were combined on poplar lignin, the aromatics amount was ca. 11 wt.%. Monomer distributions changed depending on the feedstock and the reaction conditions. Aqueous NaOH produced cleavage of the alkyl side chain that was preserved when using modified hydrotalcite catalysts or Ru/C-catalyzed hydrogenolysis in ethanol. Depolymerization using hydrotalcite catalysts in ethanol produced monomers bearing carbonyl groups on the alkyl side chain. The analysis of the reaction mixtures was done by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and diffusion ordered nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (DOSY NMR).31P NMR and heteronuclear single quantum coherence spectroscopy (HSQC) were also used in this study. The content in poly-(hydroxy)-aromatic ethers in the reaction mixtures decreased upon thermal treatments in ethanol. It was concluded that thermo-solvolysis is key in lignin depolymerization, and that the synergistic effect of Ni and Cu provided monomers with oxidized alkyl side chains.Publication Open Access Innovative flow-through reaction system for the sustainable production of phenolic monomers from lignocellulose catalyzed by supported Mo2C(Wiley, 2024) Maisterra Udi, Maitane; Atienza Martínez, María; Hablich Alvarracin, Karina Lissett; Moreira, Rui; Martínez Merino, Víctor; Gandía Pascual, Luis; Cornejo Ibergallartu, Alfonso; Bimbela Serrano, Fernando; Ciencias; Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Universidad Pública de Navarra - Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaMolybdenum carbide supported on activated carbon (β-Mo2C/AC) has been tested as catalyst in the reductive catalytic fractionation (RCF) of lignocellulosic biomass both in batch and in Flow-Through (FT) reaction systems. High phenolic monomer yields (34 wt.%) and selectivity to monomers with reduced side alkyl chains (up to 80 wt.%) could be achieved in batch in the presence of hydrogen. FT-RCF were made with no hydrogen feed, thus via transfer hydrogenation from ethanol. Similar selectivity could be attained in FT-RCF using high catalyst/biomass ratios (0.6) and high molybdenum loading (35 wt.%) in the catalyst, although selectivity decreased with lower catalyst/biomass ratios or molybdenum contents. Regardless of these parameters, high delignification of the lignocellulosic biomass and similar monomer yields were observed in the FT mode (13-15 wt.%) while preserving the holocellulose fractions in the delignified pulp. FT-RCF system outperforms the batch reaction mode in the absence of hydrogen, both in terms of activity and selectivity to reduced monomers that is attributed to the two-step non-equilibrium processes and the removal of diffusional limitations that occur in the FT mode. Even though some molybdenum leaching was detected, the catalytic performance could be maintained with negligible loss of activity or selectivity for 15 consecutive runs.Publication Open Access Systematic diffusion-ordered spectroscopy for the selective determination of molecular weight in real lignins and fractions arising from base-catalyzed depolymerization reaction mixtures(American Chemical Society, 2020) Cornejo Ibergallartu, Alfonso; García Yoldi, Íñigo; Galilea Gonzalo, Rebeca; Hablich Alvarracin, Karina Lissett; Gil Idoate, María José; Martínez Merino, Víctor; Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Ciencias; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako GobernuaThe valorization of biorefinery downstream lignin fractions is a key issue in increasing the sustainability of second-generation biofuels. The development of reliable methodologies for the selective determination of the apparent masses of the poly(hydroxy)-aromatic ethers arising from lignin depolymerization reaction is crucial. Diffusion-ordered spectroscopy (DOSY) has been tested to estimate the molecular weight in downstream biorefinery lignins and base-catalyzed depolymerization reaction mixtures. Excellent correlation was found in the calibration of molecular weight and diffusion coefficients with standards. DOSY permitted the selective estimation of the apparent masses of different fractions in the lignin and in the depolymerization reaction mixtures, providing a more profound knowledge of the reaction mixture composition than that obtained with traditional size-exclusion chromatography (SEC). Excellent correlations have been achieved in the estimation of the apparent masses of poly(hydroxy)-aromatic ethers between SEC and DOSY. This permits a reliable estimation of the molecular weight of different fractions in the lignin and in the depolymerization product, which is essential for their further applications.
