Study on the catalytic degradation of sodium lignosulfonate to aromatic aldehydes over nano-CuO:Process optimization and reaction kinetics

As one of the few renewable aromatic resources,the research of depolymerization of lignin into highvalue chemicals has attracted extensive attention in recent years.Catalytic wet aerobic oxidation(CWAO)is an effective technology to convert lignin like sodium lignosulfonate(SL),a lignin derivative,into aromatic aldehydes such as vanillin and syringaldehyde.However,how to improve the yield of aromatic aldehyde and conversion efficiency is still a challenge,and many operating conditions that significantly affect the yield of these aromatic compounds have rarely been investigated systematically.In this work,we adopted the stirred tank reactor(STR)for the CWAO process with nano-CuO as catalyst to achieve the conversion of SL into vanillin and syringaldehyde.The effect of operating conditions including reaction time,oxygen partial pressure,reaction temperature,SL concentration,rotational speed,catalyst amount,and NaOH concentration on the yield of single phenolic compound was systematically investigated.The results revealed that all these operating conditions exhibit a significant effect on the aromatic aldehyde yield.Therefore,they should be regulated in an optimal value to obtain high yield of these aldehydes.More importantly,the reaction kinetics of the lignin oxidation was explored.This work could provide basic data for the optimization and design of industrial operation of lignin oxidation.

Organoboron compounds are widely used in synthetic chemistry,pharmaceutical chemistry and material chemistry.Among various organoboron compounds,benzylboronic esters are unique and highly reactive,making them suitable benzylation reagents.At present,the synthetic methods for the syntheses of benzylboronic esters are still insufficient to meet their demands.It is necessary to develop novel and practical methods for their preparation.In this work,a novel copper‐catalyzed deoxygenative gem‐hydroborylation of aromatic aldehydes and ketones has been developed.This direct and operationally simple protocol provides an effective approach for the synthesis of a variety of primary and secondary benzylboronates,in which broad functional group tolerance was presented.Widely available B2pin2(pin=pinacol)was used as the boron source and alcoholic proton was applied as the hydride source.

Electrochemical-Voltammetry Behavior of Several Aromatic Aldehydes in Acid Solution

The electrochemical-voltammetry behavior of vanillin, heliotropin, anisaldehyde on the surface of Pt, Au electrodes in acid solution has been studied by means of the electrochemical cyclic voltammetry method. It was found that the electrochemical processes of them are irreversible on both Pt and Au electrodes. The electrochemical activity of vanillin is stronger than heliotropin's and heliotropin's is stronger than anisaldehyde's on Pt electrode. While the electrochemical activity of anisaldehyde is stronger than heliotropin's and vanillin's is the weakest on Au. The results indicate that when they are used as additives for electroplating, they must be consumptive, and it will improve the leveling ability of plating solution and brightness of the deposition layer.

Efficient benzaldehyde photosynthesis coupling photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

Photosynthesis of organic compounds in coupling with promoted hydrogen evolution under mild conditions of light irradiation is considered as one of the most efficient and promising approach to obtain high purity hydrogen and value-added chemicals concurrently by utilizing green solar energy.Here,we report the synthesis of Ni S nanoparticle-modified Cd S nanorod composites(Ni S/Cd S)as an efficient bifunctional catalyst for the highly selective photocatalytic synthesis of high-value-added product benzaldehyde(BAD)from aqueous solution of benzyl alcohol(BA)under oxygen-free conditions,in accompanying with the efficient hydrogen evolution.The synergetic catalytic effect between Ni S and Cd S is proposed to play an important role in elevating the photo-redox performance.The composition-optimized 30%Ni S/Cd S catalyst affords an extraordinarily high H;generation rate of 207.8μmol h^(-1)and a simultaneous BAD generation rate of 163.8μmol h^(-1)under visible light irradiation,which are respectively 139 and 950 times higher than those of Cd S without Ni S modification.To our knowledge,these are the highest photocatalytic production rates of both H_(2)and aldehyde ever reported on the concurrent photocatalytic of aldehyde synthesis and hydrogen evolution in green aqueous solution.This work provides a highly efficient photosynthesis strategy for the concurrent productions of high-value-added fine chemicals and hydrogen.
