TL;DR: The results indicated that the hydrocracking process was thermally controlled and catalysts showed significant influences on the product distributions and the excellent catalytic activity for phenols conversion was obtained over Rh/C.

TL;DR: In this article, a new group of SO3H-functionalized ionic liquids based on benzimidazolium cation was synthesized and used as environmentally benign catalysts for the one-pot synthesis of biscoumarin derivatives.

TL;DR: In this article, a new group of Bronsted acidic task-specific ionic liquids based on benzimidazolium cation was synthesized and used as environmentally benign catalysts for acetalization of aromatic aldehydes with diols.

TL;DR: Isopropanol was found to be more effective in H2 generation and facilitated to the hydrodeoxygenation of lignin-derived phenolic compounds and the composition of liquid products was also influenced by the acidity and pore structure of catalyst.

TL;DR: Direct hydrogenolysis of Kraft lignin was catalyzed over a series of supported Ni or Re catalysts in ethanol solvent and confirmed that the optimal 5Ni-5Re/Nb2O5 catalyst had superior oxophilicity and appropriate acid sites, which improved the ability to directly remove the methoxyl and hydroxyl groups of lignIn-derived phenolic compounds without aromatic ring hydrogenation.
