Effective depolymerization of concentrated acid hydrolysis lignin using a carbon-supported ruthenium catalyst in ethanol/formic acid media

[Display omitted] •The depolymerization of concentrated acid hydrolysis lignin (CAHL) is studied.•Solvothermolysis of CAHL in ethanol results in a low depolymerization efficiency.•The addition of Ru/C and FA improves the extent of depolymerization significantly.•The dehydrogenation of formic acid is...
