Abstract

Alkali lignin, recovered from the pulping black liquor, was chemically modified by acetylating, and then used as a biomass resource to prepare uniform colloidal spheres via self-assembly. The self-assembled structure and colloid formation mechanism of the acetylated lignin (ACL) were investigated by DLS, SLS, TEM, AFM, XPS, FTIR, elemental analysis and contact angle measurements. Results show that ACL colloidal spheres are obtained from gradual hydrophobic aggregation of ACL molecules, induced by continuously adding water into the ACL–THF solution. ACL molecules start to form colloidal spheres at a critical water content of 44 vol% when the initial concentration of ACL in THF is 1.0 mg mL−1, and the colloidization process is completed at a water content of 67 vol%. An excessive amount of water is added into the dispersions to “quench” the structures formed and then the ACL dispersion is treated by rotary evaporation for recycling THF and acquiring colloidal spheres. The ACL colloidal spheres have an of 110 nm with a polydispersity (μ2/Γ2) of 0.022. The average aggregated number () in each colloidal sphere and the average density (<ρ>) are estimated to be 1.0 × 105 and 0.187 g cm−3. Preparation of water-dispersive lignin nanoparticles opens up a green and valuable pathway for value-added utilization of lignin biomass recovered from pulping spent liquor, which is of great significance for both the utilization of renewable resources and environmental protection.

Green Chemistry provides a unique forum for the publication of innovative research on the development of alternative green and sustainable technologies. The scope of Green Chemistry is based on, but not limited to, the definition proposed by Anastas and Warner (Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, P T Anastas and J C Warner, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1998). Green chemistry is the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products. Green Chemistry is at the frontiers of this continuously-evolving interdisciplinary science and publishes research that attempts to reduce the environmental impact of the chemical enterprise by developing a technology base that is inherently non-toxic to living things and the environment. Submissions on all aspects of research relating to the endeavour are welcome. The journal publishes original and significant cutting-edge research that is likely to be of wide general appeal. To be published, work must present a significant advance in green chemistry. Papers must contain a comparison with existing methods and demonstrate advantages over those methods before publication can be considered. For more information please see this Editorial. Coverage includes the following, but is not limited to: Design (e.g. biomimicry, design for degradation/recycling/reduced toxicity…) Reagents & Feedstocks (e.g. renewables, CO2, solvents, auxiliary agents, waste utilization…) Synthesis (e.g. organic, inorganic, synthetic biology…) Catalysis (e.g. homogeneous, heterogeneous, enzyme, whole cell…) Process (e.g. process design, intensification, separations, recycling, efficiency…) Energy (e.g. renewable energy, fuels, photovoltaics, fuel cells, energy storage, energy carriers…) Applications (e.g. electronics, dyes, consumer products, coatings, pharmaceuticals, preservatives, building materials, chemicals for industry/agriculture/mining…) Impact (e.g. safety, metrics, LCA, sustainability, (eco)toxicology…) Green chemistry is, by definition, a continuously-evolving frontier. Therefore, the inclusion of a particular material or technology does not, of itself, guarantee that a paper is suitable for the journal. To be suitable, the novel advance should have the potential for reduced environmental impact relative to the state of the art. Green Chemistry does not normally deal with research associated with 'end-of-pipe' or remediation issues.
