Abstract: Processes are disclosed that achieve a high conversion of lignin to aromatic hydrocarbons, and that may be carried out without the addition of a base. Depolymerization and deoxygenation, the desired lignin convention steps to yield aromatic hydrocarbons, are carried by contacting a mixture of lignin and a solvent (e.g., a lignin slurry) with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst. A preferred solvent is a hydrogen transfer solvent such as a single-ring or fused-ring aromatic compound that beneficially facilitates depolymerization and hinders coke formation. These advantages result in favorable overall process economics for obtaining fuel components and/or chemicals from renewable sources.

Abstract: A tree trimming method that is related to a convex method of pre-determined angular trimming of deciduous trees. The methodology uses pre-determined angle cuts for deciduous vegetation to re-orient new growth and shape shade trees, shrubs and ornamental trees. This pre-determined “convex cut” makes the curved cuts reorient the tree limbs to a pre-desired radial shape and encourages the tree limbs to re-orient and grow. This results in the deciduous tree canopy that is round or radial in shape. The pre-determined angle cutting proves useful for either on the outside perimeter or for clearing inside the tree canopy for power lines. Essentially any pre-determined angle of clearing or directional shaping to re-orient new growth can be done with this cutting method.
