This review article highlights the research activities of the C'Durable team at IRCELYON in sustainable chemistry, focusing on the valorization of lignocellulosic biopolymers. The team aims to transform cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin into valuable molecules through evaluating their behavior in various conditions and assessing the influence of heterogeneous catalysts on reactivity. The article presents significant results on the upgrading of cellulose and lignin, with a glimpse into studies involving raw lignocellulose.
This review article highlights part of the research activity of the C'Durable team at IRCELYON in the field of sustainable chemistry. This review presents a landscape of the work performed on the valorization of lignocellulosic biopolymers. These studies intend to transform cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin into valuable molecules. The methodology usually consists in evaluating the behavior of the biopolymers in the absence of catalyst under various conditions (solvent, temperature), and then to assess the influence of a catalyst, most often a heterogeneous catalyst, on the reactivity. The most significant results obtained on the upgrading of cellulose and lignin, which have been mainly investigated in the team, will be presented with an opening on studies involving raw lignocellulose.
