To improve the reactivity and enrich the functionality of lignin for valorization, kraft lignin was depolymerized and demethylated via cleaving aryl and alkyl ether bonds in acidic lithium bromide trihydrate (∼60% LiBr aqueous solution). It was found that the cleavage of the ether bonds followed the order of β-O-4 ether > aryl alkyl ether in phenylcoumaran > dialkyl ether in resinol > methoxyl (MeO). The depolymerization via β-O-4 cleavage occurred under mild conditions (e.g., <0.5 M HCl at 110 °C), while sufficient demethylation of the lignin needed harsher conditions (>1.5 M HCl). Both depolymerization and demethylation generated new aromatic hydroxyl (ArOH). With 2.4 M HCl, MeO content dropped from 4.85 to 0.95 mmol/g lignin, and ArOH content increased from 2.78 to 5.09 mmol/g lignin. The depolymerized and demethylated kraft lignin showed excellent antioxidant activity and Cr(VI)-scavenging capacity, compared with original kraft lignin and tannins.
