Abstract

AbstractLignin properties were improved by electrochemical hydrogenation. Various technological factors, such as cathode materials, temperature and concentrations of water, solvent, substrate, on the electrochemical hydrogenation of lignin in divided electrolytic cell were studied. The results showed that the hydrogen content (H %) and ratio of hydrogen to carbon (H/C) of hydrogenated lignin (HL) increased by 1.7 % and 0.04, respectively, and the softening point (SP) decreased by 24°C in comparison with lignin raw material. It was feasible for lignin to be electrochemically hydrogenated.
