The delignification of wheat straw by alkali-oxygen-anthraquinone cooking was studied.The results showed that when temperature was 140℃
anthraquinone was 0.6%
the concentration of NaOH was 6%
the pressure of oxygen was 0.8 MPa
the ratio of solid(wheat straw) to liquid was 0.13
the rate of delignification and lignin in cellulose were 88% and 2.2%
respectively.The structures of lignin analyzed by means of IR and GC-MS spectrum indicated that there were syringyl and guaiacyl in lignin and the macro-molecules of lignin were changed into micro-molecules of lignin after cooking.
