Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of lignin preparation, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a broad-spectrum organic solvent-soluble lignin. Background Art

[0002] Lignin is one of the most abundant renewable aromatic polymers on earth, accounting for about 15 - 30% of the content in lignocellulosic biomass. As the only naturally occurring polymer material rich in benzene ring skeletons, lignin has a complex molecular structure, which contains a large number of C - O and C - C bonds, making it an ideal precursor for the synthesis of aromatic chemicals. The efficient conversion of lignin can not only alleviate the increasingly severe shortage of petrochemical resources, but also effectively reduce the environmental pollution caused by the use of fossil fuels, while promoting the industrialization process of biomass-based sustainable chemicals. Therefore, how to efficiently and economically utilize lignin and achieve its upgrade transformation from low-value by-products to high-value chemicals has become one of the important research directions in the current biomass refining field.

[0003] At present, lignin is mainly produced in large quantities as a by-product of the paper and pulp industry and other biorefining processes. Statistical data shows that the global lignin production in 2024 was approximately 60 million tons, and it is expected to continue to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4.9% from 2025 to 2030. As one of the major producers of the global paper and pulp industry, China also ranks among the top in lignin production. However, due to the highly heterogeneous molecular structure of lignin, its depolymerization and conversion are difficult, resulting in only about 2% of lignin being recycled globally at present, while the vast majority of lignin is still directly burned in a low-value manner for energy recovery. This traditional treatment method not only fails to fully explore the chemical potential of lignin, but also leads to resource waste and increased carbon dioxide emissions, which is not conducive to the realization of sustainable development goals.

[0004] Despite a large number of studies on the high-value utilization of lignin in recent years, commercial applications still face many technical bottlenecks. Among them, the poor solubility of lignin in conventional organic solvents is an important factor restricting its further development and utilization. Due to the complex structure of lignin, there are a large number of C - O bonds, C - C bonds and cross-linked structures in the molecule, making it show extremely low solubility and difficult to be directly used in the synthesis of fine chemicals, polymer materials and other functional materials. In addition, existing lignin dissolution strategies often involve harsh conditions (such as strong acid and strong base environments) or expensive ionic liquids, which limit their promotion in industrial applications. Therefore, developing an efficient, mild and economically feasible lignin dissolution method to improve its compatibility in organic solvent systems and expand its applications in the fields of functional materials and fine chemicals has become a key technical requirement for the high-value utilization of lignin. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention provides a method for efficiently preparing a broad-spectrum organic solvent-soluble lignin, aiming to overcome the limitation of poor solubility in existing lignin preparation technologies and reduce the environmental pollution caused by traditional acid-base extraction processes. Through a catalytic reaction process, this method improves the compatibility of lignin in various organic solvent systems, thereby broadening its application potential in the fields of fine chemicals and functional materials. The lignin prepared below can be dissolved in most organic solvents, including various alcohol solvents, furan solvents, benzene solvents, etc., and the lignin can be miscible with alcohol solvents. The specific preparation steps are as follows:

After static adsorption for a certain period of time, dry the obtained solid, and calcine it at high temperature and then reduce it to obtain a catalyst with high catalytic activity.

[0010] (3) Mix the lignocellulose powder, the catalyst and an appropriate amount of water in a set ratio, and place them in a closed reaction vessel. React under optimized temperature, pressure and time conditions. After the reaction, the lignin component will naturally float on the surface of the water solvent, thereby preparing a broad-spectrum organic solvent-soluble lignin.

[0011] Preferably, in step (1), the raw lignocellulosic biomass includes at least one of corn straw, soybean straw, rice straw, poplar wood and pine wood, and the particle size distribution of the lignocellulose powder is 50-100 mesh for the lignin powder.

[0012] Preferably, in step (2), the catalyst support is one of SiO2, Al2O3, CeO2, ZrO2, MgO, ZnO, TiO2, Fe2O3;

[0013] Preferably, in step (2), the metal precursor is a soluble metal salt, including one of Co(NO3)2, Cu(NO3)2, Ni(NO3)2, AgNO3, Fe(NO3)3.

[0014] Preferably, in step (2), the loading of the active component of the catalyst is 1-20 wt.%.

[0015] Preferably, in step (2), the calcination temperature is 200-500 °C and the time is 1-6 h.

[0016] Preferably, in step (2), the reduction is carried out in a hydrogen atmosphere, the reaction temperature is 200-500 °C, and the time is 1-6 h.

[0017] Preferably, in step (2), the impregnation time is 1-6 h.

[0018] Preferably, in step (3), the reaction temperature is 200-300 °C, the time is 1-3 h, and the hydrogen pressure is 1-5 MPa;

[0019] Preferably, in step (3), the mass ratio of the lignocellulose powder to the catalyst is 1:0.1-2 (such as 4:1.5);

[0020] Preferably, in step (3), the dosage ratio of the lignocellulose powder to water is 1 g:10-100 mL.
