美国研究人员于2016年3月14日宣布,使用一种廉价的镍催化剂,可将难以转化的芒草木质素转化为酚类化合物,这类酚类化合物可用于制取香味化学品。快速增长的牧草和树木如柳枝稷和杨树可提供石油可持续的替代品,作为燃料和化学品的来源。但从纤维素和半纤维素中的植物糖类来制取燃料,生产商通常必须去除周围的木质素,即有助于支撑 US researchers announced on March 14, 2016 that the use of a cheap nickel catalyst can be difficult to convert Miscanthus lignans into phenolic compounds, these phenolic compounds can be used to make flavor chemicals. Rapidly growing forages and trees such as switchgrass and poplar provide a sustainable alternative to oil as a source of fuels and chemicals. But to make fuels from plant sugars in cellulose and hemicellulose, manufacturers often have to remove the surrounding lignin, which helps support
