Abstract
The improvement of lignin pyrolysis by biopretreatment of white-rot fungi was investigated in this study. Results showed that biopretreatment can decrease the final residue yields, increase the weight loss rates, and absorb less heat during the pyrolysis of lignin in the inert atmosphere. In addition, the activation energies of biopretreated lignin were lower with the pre-exponential factors much higher compared with unpretreated lignin during the whole pyrolysis procedure. Analyses by FTIR and 13C NMR indicated that the structural alterations caused by biopretreatment might significantly influence the pyrolysis characteristics of lignin. By using biopretreatment, it is possible to enhance the lignin pyrolysis.
