Preparation and Performance of Deep Eutectic Solvent Modified Lignin Antibacterial Paper
Deep eutectic solvent(DES)-pretreated alkaline lignin was prepared using p-toluenesulfonic acid and choline chloride(TA/CC)and resulted in a phenol-rich lignin essential oil extract.It was subsequently incorporated into poplar pulp to produce antibacterial paper.The results demonstrated that the pretreatment of lignin with DES led to the generation of a significant number of phenolic hydroxyl groups,and the prepared antibacterial paper exhibited an inhibition rate of approximately 100%against Escherichia coli,suggesting significant potential applications in fields such as food packaging paper and medical paper.
