This paper presented a green and environmentally friendly method to obtain lignin with a structure similar to milled wood lignin (MWL) and high-purity cellulose from biomass in a two-step process. The first step, maleic acid (MA), choline chloride (ChCl), and ethylene glycol (EG) ternary deep eutectic solvent (DES) pretreatment was performed to obtain lignin with less-condensed structure. The results showed that the obtained lignin had similar properties to MWL under the condition (MA/ChCl/EG = 1:5:15, 80°C, 10 h). The DES recovered still had good cycle performance. The second step, the cellulose-rich residue was hydrogenated with isopropanol-water solvent and Raney nickel to obtain high-purity cellulose. The results showed that the purity of cellulose obtained by catalytic hydrogenolysis was > 94%. The glucose yield after enzymatic hydrolysis was 243.72 mg/g, which was 14.7 times higher than the untreated poplar. Overall, this work was of great significance for the effective separation of biomass.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008031 Lignin The most abundant natural aromatic organic polymer found in all vascular plants. Lignin together with cellulose and hemicellulose are the major cell wall components of the fibers of all wood and grass species. Lignin is composed of coniferyl, p-coumaryl, and sinapyl alcohols in varying ratios in different plant species. (From Merck Index, 11th ed) Lignins
D009532 Nickel A trace element with the atomic symbol Ni, atomic number 28, and atomic weight 58.69. It is a cofactor of the enzyme UREASE.
D002482 Cellulose A polysaccharide with glucose units linked as in CELLOBIOSE. It is the chief constituent of plant fibers, cotton being the purest natural form of the substance. As a raw material, it forms the basis for many derivatives used in chromatography, ion exchange materials, explosives manufacturing, and pharmaceutical preparations.

D005026 Ethylene Glycols An ethylene compound with two hydroxy groups (-OH) located on adjacent carbons. They are viscous and colorless liquids. Some are used as anesthetics or hypnotics. However, the class is best known for their use as a coolant or antifreeze. Dihydroxyethanes,Ethanediols,Glycols, Ethylene
D005947 Glucose A primary source of energy for living organisms. It is naturally occurring and is found in fruits and other parts of plants in its free state. It is used therapeutically in fluid and nutrient replacement.
