description Lignin is a promising renewable source of aromatic chemicals. Described herein is a new photocatalytic methodology for depolymerization of oxidized Kraft lignin to industrially relevant aromatic platform chemicals. The photooxidation route begins with oxidation of alcohol moieties using a gold nanoparticle/hydrotalcite composite. Next, the oxidized lignin is subjected to UVA irradiation in the presence of TiO 2 , leading to a 3-fold decrease of its molecular weight and to the formation of various monolignols. The products obtained in both steps were characterized using FTIR, SEC, GC-MS, and 2D NMR spectroscopy, which confirm the depolymerization of lignin to smaller molecular weight products. This method offers both energetic and chemical advantages over thermochemical processing for lignin valorisation. Lignin is a promising renewable source of aromatic chemicals.
