Abstract
Lignocelluloses are selectively hydrolyzed into only two kinds of products in an one-pot, quantitative reaction. Lignin is reduced into small molecular aromatics without using reductants. Simultaneously, cellulose and hemicellulose are oxidized into small organic acids without using oxidants. A catalytic method is invented for oxygen-transfer from lignin to cellulose or hemicellulose. There is neither gasification nor black tar formation observed during the hydrolytic depolymerization.
