Lignin, the most abundant renewable resource of aromatics in nature, is recognized as an alternative to fossil-based fuels and chemicals. In this study, a phosphomolybdic acid-ionic liquid (PMA-IL) [BSHMIM]HPMoO was synthesized and used as a catalyst for further oxidative depolymerization of extracted lignin to prepare valuable chemicals. Under optimized conditions, the conversion of lignin reached 61.33%, and the total yield of target products (vanillin, vanillic acid, and methyl vanillate) was 28.00 mg·g, where the selectivity of methyl vanillate reached 56.43%. The liquid products and residues obtained under the optimum conditions were analyzed, further confirming the advantages of PMA-IL compared with single PMA. In addition, this method also has an excellent catalytic effect for other types of lignin and presents a good substrate applicability. Finally, based on the research results of model compounds, the possible reaction pathway of the formation of vanillin, vanillic acid, and methyl vanillate was proposed.

Lignin is a universal waste product of the agricultural industry and is currently seen as a potential feedstock for more sustainable manufacturing. While it is the second most abundant biopolymer in the world, most of it is currently burned as it is a very recalcitrant material. Many recent studies, however, have demonstrated the viability of biocatalysis to improve the value of this feedstock and convert it into more useful chemicals, such as polyhydroxybutyrate, and clean fuels like hydrogen and n-butanol.

Lignin, a complex organic polymer, is an abundant biomass feedstock and among the limited natural aromatic compounds serving as chemical precursors. However, effectively depolymerizing lignin into aromatic compounds remains a significant challenge. In this research, we synthesized a range of transition metal-substituted polyoxometalate (POM) catalysts and investigated their feasibility in the oxidative depolymerization of larch lignin.

Background: An increasing amount of research demonstrates that metabolic disorders are related to rosacea. However, the correlations and causal relationships among them remain unknown.
Methods: We conducted not only forward 2-sample MR (Mendelian randomization) analyses but also reverse MR analyses which showed positive results in the forward MR analysis.
