  • Methods of using multi-ligand metal complexes to perform oxidative catalytic pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass
    Patent number: 11530458
    Abstract: A homogeneous catalyst is provided comprising one or more metals; and at least two metal coordinating ligands wherein the homogeneous catalyst is a multi-ligand metal complex adapted for use with an oxidant in an oxidation reaction to catalytically pretreat lignocellulosic biomass. In one embodiment, the homogenous catalyst is copper (II) 2, 2? bipyridine ethylenediamine (Cu(bpy)en). Related methods are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 30, 2018
    Date of Patent: December 20, 2022
    Assignee: BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY
