This study was conducted to investigate the degradation characteristics of kraft lignin (KL) during peracetic acid (PAA) treatment, and to produce potentially valuable polymers of low molecular weight lignin by controlling the reaction conditions. For the peracetic acid treatment, acetic acid (AA) and hydrogen peroxide (HP) were directly mixed at ratios of 4:1, 1:1, and 1:4 (v/v) and employed as reaction media. After PAA treatment of kraft lignin at 80 °C, complete dissolution of the lignin and reduction in the molecular weight were observed. When the PAA reaction was performed at high HP concentration (1:4, v/v), the aromatic lignin skeleton opened and converted to a structure containing large amounts of carboxyl groups. On the other hand, the treatment at high AA concentration (4:1, v/v) decomposed lignin while maintaining its aromatic structure. Hence, we demonstrated that the selective production of lignin-derived polymers can be controlled depending on PAA and HP concentrations.
