Low-power (≤10 W) microwave radiation considerably reduces the initial temperature in the catalytic hydrocracking of lignin as compared to conventional thermal heating. The microwave-assisted catalytic transformation of lignin at 260-290°C under atmospheric pressure afforded in high yield C6-C10 aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons in addition to methoxyphenols and alkylated methoxyphenols. A correlation has been found between the activity of the catalyst (1% Pt/C) and the size of platinum metal particles. Original Russian Text © L.M. Kustov, A.L. Tarasov, I.P.
