Using Isopropanol as a Capping Agent in the Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Kraft Lignin in Near-Critical Water

In this study, Kraft lignin was depolymerised by hydrothermal liquefaction in near-critical water (290–335 °C, 250 bar) using Na<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub> as an alkaline catalyst. Isopropanol was used as a co-solvent with the objective of investigating its capping effect and...
