Abstract: Green liquor(Na2S and Na2CO3)was used as a pretreating regent for poplar wood, and the effects of green liquor pretreatment on lignin removal, and lignin structure were investigated in this paper. The residual lignin in the pretreated poplar was characterized by alkaline nitrobenzene oxidation(NBO). The results showed that the total NBO products yield of poplar lignin was 2.61 mmol/g, and the molar ratio of n(S+SA)/n(V+VA)in non-condensed lignin was 2.0. With the increasing of TTA charge and H-factor of green liquor pretreatment, lignin was effectively removed, and the yields of total NBO products, and the molar ratio of n(S+SA)/n(V+VA)decreased. The condensation degree of residual lignin in pretreated solid increased with the lignin removal, and the syringyl lignin was more degradable as compared to guaiacyl type in green liquor pretreatment.
