Copper and manganese bimetallic catalysts for oxidation of prot lignin: effects of metal oxide on product yield

Lignin is a macro polymer with aromatic structure and is a highly promising renewable carbon source for valuable chemicals and energy. It is available in huge quantities as a by-product from the paper & pulp industry and 2G ethanol industry. Valorization of lignin into useful chemicals can play a vital role in overcoming the demand of diverse chemicals being produced from petroleum feedstock. In the present study, we have examined the oxidative...
