Conversion of Dimeric Diaryl Ethers over SiO<sub>2</sub>- and HZSM5-Supported Pd and Ru Catalysts: A Focus on the Role of the Metal and Acidity

The effect of metal and support acidity on the hydroconversion of dimeric aryl ethers, used as model molecules for lignin, is still under debate, both in terms of hydrogenolysis (cleavage of the ether bond) and formation of by-products (coupling of aromatic monomers to dimers by alkylation reaction)...
