Description

Lignin separation system and method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of agriculture and forestry biological data utilization, in particular to a lignin separation system and a lignin separation method.
Background
The energy and environmental crisis is one of the major obstacles facing the sustainable development of human society in the 21 st century. The production of biomass fuels and bio-based products from the richest and cheapest renewable biomass feedstock on earth is one of the effective approaches to address the above obstacles.
The biomass comprises three main components of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, wherein the cellulose accounts for 35-45%, the hemicellulose accounts for 20-40% and the lignin accounts for 20-30%. Cellulose and hemicellulose can be hydrolyzed and saccharified to prepare a series of sugar platform compounds, including liquid fuels such as bioethanol and biobutanol, chemicals such as furfural and xylitol, and the like, and the cellulose can also be used for preparing functional cellulose materials. As a natural high molecular material, lignin molecules contain a large number of high-activity hydroxyl, phenolic hydroxyl, carbonyl and benzene ring structures, and are the only compounds capable of providing a large number of renewable aromatic groups in three renewable resources. In view of the above, the lignin is expected to be widely applied to vanillin, oil field chemicals, rubber reinforcing agents, functionalized aromatic hydrocarbons for producing fine chemicals or used as a high molecular raw material for preparing high molecular polymers such as resin, rubber and the like. However, natural lignin is often accompanied by a large amount of impurities such as cellulose, and it must be separated and purified before use, but its separation is difficult due to its complex, amorphous three-dimensional network structure.
Aiming at the existing industrial relevant separation equipment or method, the obtained product mostly destroys the aryl ether bond and generates a C-C condensation structure, so that the network structure of lignin collapses and the reactivity of lignin is lost, therefore, the method is a key problem for improving the lignin separation rate on the premise of not destroying the lignin activity. From the viewpoint of production process, the following disadvantages mainly exist: the reaction conditions are harsh, a chemical method needs to consume a large amount of other raw materials and can be carried out under a specified higher temperature and pressure, and an enzymolysis method needs to provide a specified environment meeting the enzyme activity; the cyclic utilization of production auxiliary raw materials is not realized during the system design, and the problems of resource waste and the like exist; low production efficiency and difficult continuous large-scale production. Patent CN107151560B discloses a lignin separation and steam cracking system and method thereof, which uses steam cracking to separate lignin and has the problems of high operation temperature, high system requirement, etc. Patent CN 109486878A discloses an environment-friendly and efficient method for separating and promoting enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass lignin, which separates lignin by an enzymatic hydrolysis method and has the problems of low production efficiency, high separation condition requirements and the like.

s2, adding a solvent and acid into one solvent tank, pumping into a reaction kettle after uniformly stirring, stirring together and heating for decomposition, dissolving most lignin into the solvent, pumping into the other solvent tank, pumping the solvent from the other solvent tank to the initial solvent tank through the reaction kettle in a reverse manner after the solvent in the initial solvent tank is pumped out, repeating the pumping in this manner for many times until the lignin is basically dissolved, and stopping pumping the solvent;
s3, pumping the solvent in the solvent buffer tank into the reaction kettle, refluxing the solvent in the reaction kettle to the solvent buffer tank, stopping after a period of time, separating the residual small amount of lignin and bringing the lignin into the solvent buffer tank, and transferring the liquid mixed with the residual small amount of lignin into two solvent tanks from the solvent buffer tank;
s4, pumping water from the water tank to the reaction kettle, introducing compressed air into the air storage tank, allowing residual residues in the reaction kettle to flow out to a second filter press under the extrusion of water and the compressed air, extruding by the second filter press to obtain a solid of semi/cellulose, and introducing the water into the water tank again for use;
s5, respectively introducing the liquid in the two solvent tanks into two lignin separation tanks, simultaneously introducing water in an amount equal to that of the solvent into the two lignin separation tanks by a water tank, fully stirring, separating out and separating the lignin from the solvent, introducing a solid-liquid mixture into a first filter press, extruding and separating out the solid which is the lignin by the first filter press, and introducing the solvent and the water into the solvent/water tank;
and S6, introducing the liquid in the solvent/water tank into a high-efficiency evaporator, evaporating, and then returning the water to the water tank for use, and introducing the solvent into the two solvent tanks to form a water and solvent recycling system.
6. The method of separating lignin according to claim 5, wherein said lignin separation system further comprises: the solvent comprises phenol, ethylene glycol or butanediol; the acid includes hydrochloric acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid or sulfuric acid.
7. The method of separating lignin according to claim 5, wherein said lignin separation system further comprises: the volume ratio of the initial solvent to the acid in the solvent tank is 20:1-150: 1.
8. The method of separating lignin according to claim 5, wherein said lignin separation system further comprises: the water amount in the water tank leading to the lignin separation tank is 30-200% of the volume of the solvent in the tank.
9. The method of separating lignin according to claim 5, wherein said lignin separation system further comprises: the heating temperature in the reaction kettle is 50-150 ℃.
10. The method of separating lignin according to claim 5, wherein said lignin separation system further comprises: the flow rate of the compressed air is 50-500L/min, and the pressure is 0.5-5 kg.
