Abstract

Synthesis of renewable acetic acid from CO2 and lignin was effectively achieved over an ionic liquid (e.g., [BMIm][Cl])-based catalytic system containing Ru-Rh bimetal catalyst (Ru3(CO)12 and RhI3) and LiI. As far as we know, this is the first initiative to produce acetic acid from lignin and CO2.
