Hydrodeoxygenation of lignin derived phenolics over a hydrous ruthenium oxide based catalyst(s): role of surface water molecules and acidity of the support
Adarsh Kumar, Thallada Bhaskar
Abstract
HRO@Y has been designed for selective HDO of lignin-derived phenols in aqueous phase and it has showed robust activity and selectivity towards cyclohexanols. This offers new possibility for the production of industrially important building blocks sustainably.
