Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of agricultural and forestry biomass degradation and conversion technology, specifically relating to a reagent for oxidative degradation of lignin and a method for efficiently removing lignin. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the biorefining of lignocellulose, carbohydrate platforms of cellulose and hemicellulose can serve as raw materials for the preparation of bioenergy, pulp and paper, and nanocellulose. The biochemical conversion of cellulose raw materials can be used to synthesize ethanol, glycerol, propionic acid, and succinic acid. Furthermore, nanocellulose extracted from lignocellulose possesses attractive properties such as high strength, excellent stiffness, and high surface area. In addition, nanocellulose contains a large number of hydroxyl groups, which can be used for surface modification. However, lignin is considered a significant obstacle to biomass bioconversion, preventing enzymes or chemical reagents from approaching cellulose and causing inhibition during the bioconversion process. Biorefining technologies based on carbohydrate platforms require the preferential degradation of lignin components to break down the degradation barrier of lignocellulose. Moreover, in the pulp and paper industry, lignin is considered to have an adverse effect on paper durability. Therefore, lignin removal is necessary.

[0003] In existing technologies, lignin is removed through oxidative depolymerization, a method characterized by relatively mild reaction conditions (80°C) and high selectivity. Peracetic acid, acting as an electrophilic agent, reacts with lignin, leading to oxidation and subsequent degradation. Peracetic acid is considered environmentally friendly, possessing a high oxidation potential (1.748 V), and is a promising selective agent for delignification. Its principle involves peracetic acid-mediated lignin oxidation, which can cleave C / C and CO bonds linked to aromatic rings, as well as phenylpropane units linked to ethers. However, peracetic acid is expensive, extremely unstable, and prone to explosion at high concentrations, increasing storage and transportation costs. One technical solution uses a 30% hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid solution to synthesize peracetic acid in situ at 80°C to treat poplar wood, achieving a lignin removal rate of 86%. Although this system can synthesize peracetic acid in situ, the high concentrations of acetic acid and 30% hydrogen peroxide, along with the large dosages of hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid in the final hydrogen peroxide-acetic acid solution (12 wt% hydrogen peroxide and 40 wt% acetic acid), lead to high pressure and a high risk of explosion during the decomposition process of hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid, posing a safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a reagent for oxidative degradation of lignin and a method for efficient lignin removal. This invention uses a hydrogen peroxide solution with a concentration of 8-15 wt% to prepare a hydrogen peroxide-ethyl acetate system. This system has no pressure and no risk of explosion during oxidation treatment, and can achieve safe lignin removal.

[0005] To achieve the objectives of this invention, the following technical solutions are provided:

[0006] A reagent for the oxidative degradation of lignin, the raw materials for preparation include: hydrogen peroxide solution, alkyl acetate and hydrolysis catalyst;

[0007] The concentration of the hydrogen peroxide solution is 8-15 wt%; the volume ratio of the hydrogen peroxide solution to the alkyl acetate is 4-6:6-4.

[0010] Preferably, the hydrolysis catalyst comprises one or more of sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and nitric acid.

[0011] This invention also provides a method for efficiently removing lignin, comprising the following steps:

[0012] The wood is mixed with the reagent for oxidative degradation of lignin described in the above technical solution, and subjected to oxidation treatment. After solid-liquid separation, lignin-free holocellulose residue is obtained.

[0013] The oxidation treatment temperature is ≥60℃.

[0014] Preferably, the solid-liquid ratio of the wood and the reagent used for oxidative degradation of lignin is 1g:5-12mL.

[0015] Preferably, the oxidation treatment time is 4 to 12 hours.

[0016] Preferably, the method further includes enzymatically hydrolyzing the holocellulose residue to obtain an enzymatic hydrolysate containing glucose.

[0017] Preferably, the enzyme reagent used for enzymatic hydrolysis is cellulase; the enzyme amount of the enzyme reagent is 5-20 FPU / g.

[0018] Preferably, the enzymatic hydrolysis is performed at a temperature of 40–60°C for 24–72 hours.

[0019] This invention provides a reagent for the oxidative degradation of lignin. The raw materials include: hydrogen peroxide solution, alkyl acetate, and a hydrolysis catalyst. The concentration of the hydrogen peroxide solution is 8–15 wt%. The volume ratio of the hydrogen peroxide solution to the alkyl acetate is 4–6:6–4. The volume of the hydrolysis catalyst accounts for 1.0–1.5% of the total volume of the hydrogen peroxide solution and the alkyl acetate. This invention establishes a hydrogen peroxide-alkyl acetate system using an 8–15 wt% hydrogen peroxide solution. The alkyl acetate is decomposed into acetic acid by the hydrolysis catalyst, and hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid are catalyzed to generate peracetic acid in situ. Peracetic acid is gradually synthesized. This reaction system is pressure-free and poses no safety hazards during oxidation, and can selectively remove lignin.

[0020] This invention also provides a highly efficient method for removing lignin, which can selectively remove lignin at ≥60℃. Furthermore, the holocellulose residue obtained after solid-liquid separation can be directly used to prepare bioenergy, chemicals, and chemical materials, or the lignin-removed holocellulose residue can be enzymatically hydrolyzed to obtain a glucose-containing hydrolysate. The liquid obtained from solid-liquid separation can be further separated to obtain quinone and carboxylic acid compounds such as 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone, p-benzoquinone, malonic acid, maleic anhydride, and propionic acid, which can be used in the production of platform chemicals (such as phenobarbital) pharmaceutical intermediates.
