Published: September 2018

Catalytic depolymerization of kraft lignin was successfully carried out in isopropanol/water mixture system over Rh/LaO/CeO-ZrO catalyst at 373 °C for 2 h with Fe as reductant. The selectivity of in-situ H was increasing from 67 wt% to 98 wt% by changing the proportion of isopropanol and water with metal Fe. A one-to-one correspondence was established between liquid products distribution and H. It was an efficient method for predicting the composition of the liquid oil by H selectivity detection or converting kraft lignin to desirable liquid products optionally, which administered to reduce the dependence on the specific catalysts. Other temperatures and catalysts were a viable option for the relationship.

Kraft lignin (KL), a byproduct of the pulp and paper industry, is commonly combusted as a low-grade fuel. However, its high sulphur content results in the emission of sulphur oxides, which pose environmental hazards. This study explores a sustainable approach for the valorisation of waste KL into syngas via CO-mediated pyrolysis.

Herein, a biochar-supported zero-valent iron (ZVI) nanosheet catalyst (Fe@BC) for the activation of persulfate to degrade ciprofloxacin (CIP) was prepared using industrial kraft lignin and Fenton sludge as carbon and iron sources, respectively. Fe@BC showed considerably better CIP degradation efficiency (96.9% at 20 mg L) than traditional catalysts.

Self-supported hardwood kraft lignin (HKL)/graphene-based carbon fibrous aerogel (L/GCA) presents a fascinating prospect as the electrode of supercapacitor due to its impress rate capacity and cyclic stability. However, the hydrophobicity nature of L/GCA hampers the ion transfer between the electrode and electrolyte, thereby limiting its electrochemical performance. To address this, we enhanced the electrochemical performance of L/GCA through boron doping based on the improvement of hydrophilicity and the re-arrangement of electron density.

Transparent cellulose-lignin films containing Fe with high UV absorption for thermal management.

Research Division for Sustainable Papermaking & Advanced Materials, Key Laboratory of Biobased Materials Science and Technology (Ministry of Education), Northeast Forestry University, Harbin 150040, China. Electronic address:

In this paper, cellulose-lignin films containing Fe were prepared by the codissolution-precipitation method, and the films have high transparency as well as high UV absorption. In this process, kraft lignin chelates with Fe and then bonds with cellulose through hydrogen bonding, evenly distributing within the film. The morphological results showed that the kraft lignin chelated with Fe bound tightly linked to cellulose within the Fe@cellulose-lignin composite films.
