The development of successful strategies for lignin conversion into various value-added products requires the design of effective depolymerization protocols. Most research on lignin depolymerization has focused on batch-mode processing. However, the detailed mechanism of lignin pyrolysis in conventional reactors remains unclear, largely due to its complex structure and random composition.

You are already at the latest version The gas phase delivery of lignin into the hot zone of cw-CO2 laser powered homogeneous pyrolysis (LPHP) reactor under “wall-less” conditions led to break down of lignin macromolecules into neutral oligomers and paramagnetic fragments deposited onto the reactor cell walls. Formation of PAHs was observed during defragmentation of lignin accelerated with increased laser power.
