Carbon Dioxide Assisted Conversion of Hydrolysis Lignin Catalyzed by Nickel Compounds

In this work, hydrolysis lignin with nickel compounds deposited on the surface was prepared. The resulting material was introduced into the process of carbon dioxide assisted conversion and the catalytic activity of the deposited nickel compounds in this reaction was evaluated. Use of the obtained catalytic system increases CO2 conversion by more than 30% in the temperature range 450-800 degrees C. After the conversion process, the material was subjected to a study using a variety of physico-chemical analysis methods (TEM, SEM-EDX, and X-ray phase analysis). Physico-chemical methods of analysis of a sample calcined at 300 degrees C to decompose nickel nitrate revealed NiO nanoparticles with an average particle size of 16.9 nm.
