Oxygen Delignification

Autohydrolysis and acid hydrolysis treatments were applied on mixed softwood chips. The cooking ability was studied by varying the alkali and duration of the cook. Pulps with kappa numbers varying from 30 to 70 were obtained. The bleaching ability of these pulps was studied and compared to control kraft pulps. The prehydrolyzed pulps were shown to be more efficiently delignified by oxygen than the control kraft pulps starting from the same kappa number. Furthermore, the final bleaching was also easier for these pulps. It was also shown that extensive oxygen delignification applied on high-kappa pre-hydrolyzed pulps could be a way to improve the overall yield, which is a prerequisite for the development of such biorefinery concepts. Lignin was isolated from the control kraft and the two pre-hydrolyzed kraft pulps and analyzed by 13C NMR. Lignins from pre-hydrolyzed kraft pulps had similar free phenolic groups content to the control kraft lignin, but their aliphatic hydroxyl groups and β-O-4 content were lower than for the control lignin. The quaternary carbon content was the same for all the samples.

Solid Biofuel

Processes have been developed to produce a solid biofuel with high energy density and low ash content from kraft lignin precipitated from black liquor. Pilot-scale tests of the lignin biofuel were carried out with a 150 kW powder burner and a 12 MW circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler. Lignin powder could be fired in a powder burner with good combustion performance after some trimming of the air flows to reduce swirl. Lignin dried to 10% moisture content was easy to feed smoothly and had less bridging tendencies in the feeding system than did wood/bark powder. In the CFB boiler, lignin was easily handled and cofired together with bark. Although the filter cake was broken into smaller pieces and fines, the combustion was not disturbed. When cofiring lignin with bark, the sulfur emission increased compared with bark firing only, but most of the sulfur was captured by calcium in the bark ash. Conventional sulfur capture also occurred with addition of limestone to the bed. The sulfur content in the lignin had a significantly positive effect on reducing the alkali chloride content in the deposits, thus reducing the high temperature corrosion risk.

Phenolic Hydroxyl Groups

Several efforts have been dedicated to the development of lignin-based polyurethanes (PU) in recent years. The low and heterogeneous reactivity of lignin hydroxyl groups towards diisocyanates, arising from their highly complex chemical structure, limits the application of this biopolymer in PU synthesis. Besides the well-known differences in the reactivity of aliphatic and aromatic hydroxyl groups, experimental work in which the reactivity of both types of hydroxyl, especially the aromatic ones present in syringyl (S-unit), guaiacyl (G-unit), and p-hydroxyphenyl (H-unit) building units are considered and compared, is still lacking in the literature. In this work, the hydroxyl reactivity of two kraft lignin grades towards 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) was investigated. 31P NMR allowed the monitoring of the reactivity of each hydroxyl group in the lignin structure. FTIR spectra revealed the evolution of peaks related to hydroxyl consumption and urethane formation. These results might support new PU developments, including the use of unmodified lignin and the synthesis of MDI-functionalized biopolymers or prepolymers.
