Abstract: | Acidic carbonaceous solids were synthesized from mass pine alkali lignin via hydrothermal carbonization followed by sulfonation. Hydrothermal carbonization of lignin in the presence of acrylic acid (LAHC-SO3H) provided many more carboxylic groups than that in the absence of acrylic acid, allowing subsequent sulfonation to produce a highly active and stable catalyst for cellulose hydrolysis in the [BMIM]Cl-H2O solvent system. The hydrochar and catalyst were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller and acid–base titration. Results showed that a high acid content of 5.48 mmol/g, including carboxylic group (2.85 mmol/g), phenolic hydroxyl group (1.05 mmol/g) and sulfonic acid group (1.58 mmol/g), contributed significantly to the highly efficient hydrolysis of cellulose. Further, it was found that addition of trace water in [BMIM]Cl was favorable to cellulose hydrolysis. The highest yield (75.4%) of total reducing sugar (TRS) obtained in [BMIM]Cl-H2O at a mass ratio of 100:1 was more than twice that (36.1%) achieved in [BMIM]Cl without water; the corresponding reaction conditions were 50 mg of microcrystalline cellulose, 30 mg of catalyst, 1.0 g of [BMIM]Cl, 10 mg of H2O, reaction temperature of 130 °C and reaction time of 2 h. Furthermore, the TRS yield with 5 cycles for LAHC-SO3H was higher than 68.1%, and the catalytic activity of catalyst could be fully recovered (74.0% of TRS yield) easily by regeneration. |
