Abstract:This study employed corn stalk as feedstock and achieved its complete components separation through an efficient and sustainable acetic acid/formic acid/water system. The results showed that under mild conditions of acetic acid/formic acid/water ration of 3∶6∶1(volume ratio), reaction temperature and reaction time of 130 ℃ and 3 h, respectively, the yields of hemicellulose, organosolv lignin (OL), and crude cellulose were 14.95%, 10.30%, and 52.90%, respectively. The purities of OL and crude cellulose were 95.55% and 40.96%, respectively. Mechanistic analysis revealed that acetic acid/formic acid could effectively cleave the chemical bond between lignin and hemicellulose, promote the β-O-4 bond breakage of lignin, and improve the solubility of OL in organic acid system. Additionally, the obtained high-purity OL and crude cellulose could serve as high-quality raw materials for downstream bio-based chemical production.
