Abstract

This chapter is focused on the sustainable valorization of lignin and its derived molecules, through the application of the transfer hydrogenolysis technology, by using nanostructured bimetallic Pd-based catalysts, in order to achieve high added-value products. In particular, nanostructured bimetallic co-precipitated Pd-based catalysts (Pd-M systems), such as Pd/Fe3O4, Pd/Co and Pd/Ni, were used and their textural and structural properties have been deeply elucidated through several characterization techniques (XRD, TEM, SEM, H2-TPR, XPS and EXAFS) in order to highlight the key factors that influence the peculiar catalytic activity in the reductive upgrading of lignin-derived aromatic ethers. Hydrogenolysis and transfer hydrogenolysis processes were focused on three model molecules of lignin: Benzyl Phenyl Ether (BPE), Phenethyl Phenyl Ether (PPE) and Diphenyl Ether (DPE) that mimic typical C-O lignin linkages, such as α-O-4, β-O-4 and 4-O-5 bonds. A comparison between the performance of bimetallic Pd-M catalysts and that of the commercial Pd/C is also included.
