The invention provides a method for rapidly extracting light-color phenolated
lignin, and belongs to the field of
biomass refining. The method comprises the following steps: uniformly mixing a lignocellulose
raw material with a
mixed solution of aromatic
sulfonic acid and a phenolic compound according to a certain
solid-to-
liquid ratio, and carrying out ultrasonic treatment at a certain temperature; and after the treatment is completed, carrying out
solid-liquid separation, pouring the obtained extracting solution into water to precipitate
lignin, and washing and
drying to obtain the light-color phenolated
lignin. The method disclosed by the invention is simple in process, low in time consumption and high in yield, and the
solvent is easy to recycle; the prepared lignin is
extremely light in color and high in phenolic hydroxyl group content, retains most of
aryl ether bonds, can adjust the content of phenolic hydroxyl groups and methoxyl groups in the lignin to a certain extent, and solves the problems of
dark color, few functional groups and low reaction activity of the existing industrial lignin. The method can be used for producing lignin-based functional products without further color reduction and activation treatment.
