The thermal degradation pyrolysis of Kraft lignin was investigated at different temperatures in the absence of catalysts. The high sulfur content in the lignin led to the formation of sulfur-containing compounds in the pyrolysis products. The pyrolytic gas was found to be rich in methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide, along with other sulfur compounds in smaller amounts. The bio-oil obtained from the pyrolysis contained alkyl-alkoxy phenols, dihydroxy benzenes, and minor amounts of hydrocarbons and sulfur compounds.
In order to valorize lignin wastes to produce useful aromatic compounds, the thermal degradation pyrolysis of Kraft lignin in the absence of catalysts has been investigated at 350, 450, and 550 degrees C. The high content of sulfur in the fresh sample led to the formation of S-containing compounds in products whose evolution in the gas phase was monitored through GC-MS analysis. Pyrolytic gas is rich in CH4, CO, CO2, and H2S with the presence of other sulfur compounds in smaller amounts (i.e., CH3SH, CH3-S-CH3, SO2, COS, and CS2). Biochar morphology and elemental composition have been investigated by means of SEM and EDX. The carbon content reaches ~90% after pyrolysis at 550 degrees C, while the oxygen content showed a decreasing trend with increasing temperature. From GC-MS analysis, bio-oil resulted rich in alkyl-alkoxy phenols, together with (alkyl)dihydroxy benzenes and minor amounts of hydrocarbons and sulfur compounds. NaOH/H2O and EtOH/H2O extraction were performed with the aim of extracting phenolic-like compounds. Sodium hydroxide solution allowed a better but still incomplete extraction of phenolic compounds, leaving a bio-oil richer in sulfur.
