Abstract

This chapter summarizes various valuable chemicals and gases that can be produced from woody biomass and related feedstock compounds using heterogeneous catalysts and supercritical fluid media (supercritical multiphase reaction). Merits and characteristics of the supercritical multiphase reaction are well demonstrated with two examples: (1) fuel gases production from lignin, a component of woody biomass, with supported ruthenium catalysts in supercritical water, and (2) hydrogenation of alkylphenols, fragments of lignin, with supported rhodium catalysts in supercritical carbon dioxide.
