Abstract
Lignin is the only naturally renewable aromatized polymer consisting of several phenyl propane structures linked by C-O and C-C bonds, so lignin can be depolymerized into value-added chemicals or liquid fuels. In this study, M5Zn5AlOx(M = Co, Ni and Cu) catalysts were obtained by the co-precipitation method and then were used in organosolv lignin depolymerization. Among these catalysts, the Ni5Zn5AlOxcatalyst possessed the largest surface area and abundant surface oxygen vacancies as well as strong acidic sites on the surface, giving the highest yield of monophenols (about 14.49 wt %). The effect of Ni/Zn ratios on the lignin depolymerization was also investigated, and it was found that the surface area and the proportion of surface oxygen vacancies and strong acidic sites of the NiZnAlOxcatalysts increased and then decreased with the Ni/Zn ratios increasing. Similarly, the yield of monomeric compounds increased and then decreased with the Ni/Zn ratios increasing. The highest yield of monophenols was 17.18 wt % obtained over the Ni3Zn7AlOxcatalyst, a remarkable monomer yield from organosolv lignin. The two-dimensional 1H-13C heteronuclear single-quantum coherence nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of bio-oil revealed that the linkage bonds in lignin could be effectively broken over the Ni3Zn7AlOxcatalyst. This study provided an effective route to obtain high-value chemicals from organosolv lignin under nickel-based catalysts.
