    Abstract:
    To maximize the utilization of Abaca lignin in the current biorefinery, structural characteristics of native lignin from Abaca were firstly comprehensively investigated. Parallelly, effective delignification of Abaca was achieved by alkaline hydrogen peroxide (AHP) process, which facilitated the production of specialty paper in industry. The structural changes of lignin macromolecules during the AHP delignification were illustrated by comparing the structural differences of the released lignin fraction and corresponding native lignin, which were analyzed via the advanced analytical methods, such as 2D-HSQC NMR, 31P NMR, pyrolysis-GC/MS, and GPC techniques. It was found that Abaca lignin is a HGS-type lignin, which is overwhelmingly composed of β-O-4 linkages and abundant hydroxycinnamic acids (mainly p-coumaric acid). In addition, partial cleavage of β-O-4 linkages and p-coumarate in lignin occurred during the AHP delignification process. Meanwhile, AHP process also led to the elevation of H-type lignin units in AHPL. Considering that β-O-4 bond is vulnerable in the catalytic degradation process of lignin, the lignin with abundant β-O-4 linkages is beneficial to the downstream conversion of lignin into aromatic chemicals.
