Abstract:
:Protic ionic liquids have been proposed as effective solvents for the selective extraction of lignin from wood. In this work, the protic ionic liquid 1-methylimidazolium chloride has been used to extract lignin at different biomass loadings, temperatures, and times to understand the influence of treatment severity on the lignin dissolution mechanism. The maximum lignin recovery (82.35 g lignin/100 g biomass lignin) was achieved at 10% (w/w) biomass loading, 135 °C, and 6 h. An increase in treatment severity leads to an acid cleavage of ether linkages, which increases the average molecular weight and thermal stability of lignins due to C-C repolymerization. HSQC-NMR analysis showed the effect of operating conditions on the predominant mechanism of lignin depolymerization. At mild conditions, there is a preferential degradation of G units (the typical depolymerization mechanism of ionic liquid treatments); but at the most severe conditions, S units are predominantly removed, as usually occurs in acidic treatments. This work contributes to better understanding the different lignin extraction mechanisms occurring with a protic ionic liquid depending on different operating conditions.
