Description
Yang and co-authors turn lignin, a wood waste polymer, into a porous solid base catalyst that converts glucose into fructose. Older biochar catalysts need fussy preparation and their pores clog when active parts are loaded. Their 2026 method cross links alkali lignin and burns it in one step, so the pore network and the basic sites form together.
Firing temperature tunes the surface area, pore mix, and basic strength. The best version, fired at the top of the range, reached a high surface area and a layered pore structure. In water at 120 degrees it gave a fructose yield of about thirty three percent within twenty minutes. The authors offer the route as a way to valorize lignin while making useful catalysts.
