Lignin depolymerisation in acidic ionic liquids

In this thesis, mechanistic insights into lignin depolymerisation and more specifically, the hydrolysis of the abundant β-O-4 ether linkage was gained. This was accomplished by exploring the reactivity of different lignin model compounds in acidic ionic liquids. Reported herein are investigations in...
