Mechanochemical valorisation of kraft-lignin
- As one of nature's largest carbon sources with an annual production of around 20 billion tonnes, lignin is the third most abundant biopolymer on the planet. It becomes available as technical lignin, which is produced as a by-product in the pulp and paper industry and in smaller quantities in second generation biofuel refineries. Current estimates suggest that less than 10% of all technical lignin is reused. The high polydispersity, complex heterogeneous structure and uncertain reactivity are the major limiting factors for further processing. The most common applications for various technical lignins without extensive modifications are for example: Surface active substances, additives in bitumen, cement and animal feed. One way to make lignin usable is to break the structure into oligomer units and thus reduce the polydispersity and average molar mass. In addition, it is advantageous to introduce new functionalities such as hydroxyl or carbonyl groups when splitting theAs one of nature's largest carbon sources with an annual production of around 20 billion tonnes, lignin is the third most abundant biopolymer on the planet.

One way to make lignin usable is to break the structure into oligomer units and thus reduce the polydispersity and average molar mass. In addition, it is advantageous to introduce new functionalities such as hydroxyl or carbonyl groups when splitting the high-molecular-weight (HMW) fractions, or to convert existing functionalities. In this study, a mechanochemical method is presented that can degrade and modify technical kraft lignin by means of sodium percarbonate (SPC).…
