Fast pyrolysis of lignin is a promising method to produce aromatic chemicals and fuels. Lignin structure and pyrolysis conditions determine the liquid yield and product selectivity. Extraction of pine wood using γ-valerolactone (GVL) mixed with water in the presence of diluted sulfuric acid obtains lignin (GVL–lignin) which shows different product yield and selectivity. The composition of the extraction medium influences the yield of GVL–lignin and affects its native structure. The GVL-to-water ratio affects the lignin yield without significantly modifying the structure of the extracted lignin, whereas the sulfuric acid concentration affects both the extraction yield and the extracted lignin structure. These structural changes influence the product distribution after fast pyrolysis, which generates phenols and alkoxy phenols as the main products in the liquid fraction. Lignin extracted with a mixture of 4/1 of GVL/H2O (w/w) and 0.075 M sulfuric acid solution produces the highest pyrolysis liquid yield. Py...
