摘要
It is essential to investigate the influence of alkaline earth metals on the pyrolysis mechanism and resulting products of lignin to enhance the efficient thermochemical conversion and utilization of lignin or biomass. In this study, the density functional theory method was used to simulate the pyrolytic reaction pathways of a β-O-4 type lignin dimer model compound (1-methoxy-2-(4-methoxyphenethoxy)benzene, mc) affected by alkaline earth metal ions Ca2+ and Mg2+. The computational findings suggest that Ca2+ and Mg2+ tend to combine with the oxygen atom at the Cβ position and the oxygen atom on the methoxy group of the lignin dimer model compound, forming stable complexes that modify the bond lengths of the Cα–Cβ and Cβ–O bonds and affect their pyrolysis energy barriers. During the catalytic pyrolysis process, the presence of Ca2+ and Mg2+ can promote the concerted decomposition reaction, leading to increased production of products like 1-methoxy-4-vinylbenzene, 2-methoxyphenol and catechol. Meanwhile, they can suppress homolytic cleavage reactions of the Cβ–O and Cα–Cβ bonds, thereby hindering the formation of other products such as 1-ethyl-4-methoxybenzene and 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde. © 2024 Science Press.
