Abstract

Aqueous solutions of depolymerized lignin with a concentration of 12 to 15 g/L are obtained by treating an aqueous suspension of hydrolysis lignin (LG-PP) for 4 hours at 250°C and 10 MPa. The transformation of lignin in the resulting solution is studied at sub- (320°C, 30 MPa) and supercritical (400–650°C, 30 MPa) parameters in a flow-type reactor. It is shown that the degree of depolymerization of lignin increases with increasing temperature and reaches its maximum value at 650°C; the process results in the formation of hydrocarbons of various groups including derivatives of benzene and phenol. Intensive gasification of lignin with the production of gas mixtures containing up to 40 vol % hydrogen occurs at temperatures above 600°C.
