Iron-induced demethoxylation of lignin as an important source for methanol and its oxidation products in the environment

Abstract Lignin, the largest reservoir of aromatic carbon in plants and soils, undergoes well-characterized biological demethylation by fungi and bacteria, and is industrially processed under harsh conditions to generate bio-based aromatics. However, the abiotic fate of lignin-de...
