Recently, interest about biomass which can replace petroleum feedstock have been accelerate, because petroleum-derived chemicals have problem such as oil depletion and price instability, environmental and health concerns. In this study, renewable bio-based chemicals was synthesized via thermochemical processes using lignin residue that is one of the second generation biomass.

Sunflower stalk saccharification lignin residue was converted to a completely bio-based biopolyol via solvothermal liquefaction using acid catalyst. Different isomer-type biobutanediols were used to replace petroleum-derived reaction solvents. The reaction parameters were optimized according to measurement of the biomass conversion and the hydroxyl and acid numbers. The lignin-derived biopolyol with a biomass conversion of 80.1%, hydroxyl number of 819.0 mg KOH/g, and acid number of 26.5 mg KOH/g was produced in the optimal condition (reaction temperature of 120 ℃, 4 wt% acid catalyst loading, reaction time of 120 min, and 25 wt% biomass loading). The lignin-derived biopolyol was neutralized to decrease the acid number. The neutralized biopolyol was used to synthesize biopolyurethane via polymerization with poly(propylene glycol), tolylene 2,4-diisocyanate terminated. Urethane bond formation was confirmed by FT-IR analysis. The biopolyurethane showed good thermal properties, such as a Td5 of 273.4 ℃, Td10 of 305.8 ℃, and a single degradation peak at 387.2 ℃.

To replace commercial epoxy resins which is most produced using petroleum-derived toxic bisphenol A and synthesize bio-epoxy resin, kraft lignin was utilized as green substitute for bisphenol A. Methanol-soluble kraft lignin was extracted by methanol fractionation for lignin epoxidation, and epoxidized into lignin-derived epoxy resin via two-step epoxidation consisting of epichlorohydrin addition and epoxide ring restructuring. Epoxidized lignin was selectively separated from non- or less-reacted lignin based on their solubility differences in organic solvents. The existence of epoxide groups in the lignin-derived epoxy resin was confirmed using FT-IR, ¹H-NMR and TGA analyses. Epoxidized lignin was used as a reactive lignin macromonomer to prepare biopolyester. The characteristics of the synthesized biopolyester were analyzed using FT-IR and the thermal properties were analyzed by TGA. The thermal decomposition temperature of 5% weight loss (Td5) was determined to be 257.1 ℃, which is comparable to epoxy resins that are used in electronic applications.
