Abstract

Lignin depolymerization has been studied for decades to produce carbon-neutral chemicals/biofuels and biopolymers. Among different chemical reaction pathways, catalytic hydrogenolysis favors reactions under relatively mild conditions, while its yield of bio-oil and high-value aromatic products is relatively high. In this study, the influence of reaction parameters on lignin hydrogenolysis are discussed by chemical process parameter mapping and modeled using three different machine learning algorithms based upon literature experimental data. The best R2 scores for solid residue and aromatic yield were 0.92 and 0.88 for xgboost, respectively. The parameter importance was examined, and it was observed that lignin-to-solvent ratio and average pore size have a larger impact on lignin hydrogenolysis results. Finally, the optimal conditions of lignin hydrogenolysis were predicted by chemical process parameter mapping using the best-fit machine learning model, which indicates that further process improvements can potentially generate higher yields in industrial applications.
