Organic onium hydroxide aqueous solutions (OHAS) are demonstrated to be potential solvents for the dissolution of lignin and its epoxidation. A series of OHAS has been assessed in terms of the solubility of soda lignin (SL) and Klason lignin (KL), which are moderately and rarely soluble in NaOH aq. soln., respectively. Tetrabutylphosphonium hydroxide ([P 4444 ]OH) aqueous solution was found to exhibit a highest solubility, specifically 40 wt% of SL and 3.0 wt% of KL. The superior solubility of OHAS is comprehended to be due to weak interactions between OH anions and phosphonium cations, and hence OH anions interact effectively with lignin. Epoxidation of SL was achieved by simply adding epichlorohydrin to [P 4444 ]OH aq. dissolving SL. Films of epoxidized SL were prepared by thermal curing with the aid of a crosslinking agent, and the films were found to possess high thermal stability of >250 °C and excellent ductility. The thermal and mechanical properties were controllable by the concentration of [P 4444 ]Cl as an additive.

Abstract
Organic onium hydroxide aqueous solutions (OHAS) are demonstrated to be potential solvents for the dissolution of lignin and its epoxidation. A series of OHAS has been assessed in terms of the solubility of soda lignin (SL) and Klason lignin (KL), which are moderately and rarely soluble in NaOH aq. soln., respectively. Tetrabutylphosphonium hydroxide ([P 4444 ]OH) aqueous solution was found to exhibit a highest solubility, specifically 40 wt% of SL and 3.0 wt% of KL. The superior solubility of OHAS is comprehended to be due to weak interactions between OH anions and phosphonium cations, and hence OH anions interact effectively with lignin. Epoxidation of SL was achieved by simply adding epichlorohydrin to [P 4444 ]OH aq. dissolving SL. Films of epoxidized SL were prepared by thermal curing with the aid of a crosslinking agent, and the films were found to possess high thermal stability of >250 °C and excellent ductility. The thermal and mechanical properties were controllable by the concentration of [P 4444 ]Cl as an additive.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
