Ve. Tarabanko et al., INFLUENCE OF LIGNIN ORIGIN ON THE EFFICIENCY OF THE CATALYTIC-OXIDATION OF LIGNIN INTO VANILLIN AND SYRINGALDEHYDE, Russian chemical bulletin, 44(2), 1995, pp. 367-371
The oxidation of a number of lignin species by molecular oxygen was st
udied. The selectivity of the process was found to be close to that of
the oxidation with nitrobenzene. The influence of lignin origin on th
e yields of vanillin and syringaldehyde as well as the correlation bet
ween the rates of wood delignification and the aldehydes formation are
discussed.
