Two lignins obtained from aqueous methanol organosolv pulping of aspen wood have been liquefied when suspended in water and heated to slightly above the critical temperature of water. Liquefaction was carried out in a stirred autoclave in the presence of a palladium on carbon catalyst and a low partial pressure of hydrogen (730 psi). Injection of the aqueous lignin suspensions into a pre-heated autoclave permitted study of reaction time effects minimizing the effect of heat-up time. The lignins were converted in good yield to brown viscous oils, that were soluble in ethyl acetate. Other products included an ethyl acetate insoluble fraction (~10%) and carbon-containing gases (~10%), e.g. carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, ethane, etc. The highest yields (~70%) of oil were obtained after 5–20 minutes. Yields of oil decreased after 45 minutes with increasing formation of gases. The apparent molecular-weight distributions of the liquefied lignins were 2–3 fold smaller than the starting lignins, indicating substantial depolymerization had taken place. The volatile fraction of the oils contained syringols, guaiacols, catechols and phenol. Increasing reaction time converted syringols and guaiacols into catechols.
