    Abstract:
    It is anticipated that the insight into the demethylation and mechanism of CH4 formation from natural lignin using in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (in-situ FTIR) combined with two-dimensional perturbation correlation infrared spectroscopy (2D-PCIS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculation analysis would contribute to a deeper insight of bond cleavage mechanism of lignin pyrolysis. Herein, GS-type lignin (poplar MWL) was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and heteronuclear Single-Quantum Correlation Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (HSQC), and its pyrolysis at different temperatures was performed in a lab-scale fixed-bed reactor. The biochar, gaseous and liquid products were qualitative, and quantitative analysis of gases and bio-oil is demonstrated using gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The key of CH4 formation is the homolytic cleavage of the methoxyl functional group generating methyl radical and further verified via in-situ FTIR combined with 2D-PCIS and DFT calculation. The study established a new methodology based on multiple factor analysis to evaluate the CH4 formation mechanism in GS-type milled wood lignin at the molecular level, which is of positive significance for increasing lignin valorization and improving the environment.
