摘要

Hydrothermal depolymerization of Cunninghamialanceolata alkali lignin were conducted in a batch autoclave at temperatures of 250-350. The components and characteristics of hydrothermal degraded liquid products and hydrochar were investigated by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC/MS), elemental analyzer and Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The results showed that the least residue (18.66%) was collected at 325. In addition, the relative content of phenols in liquid products was above 80%, and the types and contents of phenols were both increased with the rise of temperature. Guaiacol was the dominant phenol component, represented 17.71 mg/g at 325. With the increase of reaction temperature, reductions of hydrogen and oxygen contents were observed, while the carbon content increased. The optimum carbon and energy conversion rates at 325 were 79.18% and 79.95%, respectively. The chemical structures of hydrochars were similar to alkali lignin at temperatures below 325. However, a serious carbonization of lignin was observed when the temperature was over 350.
