Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are a potentially high-value lignin extraction methodology. DESs prepared from choline chloride (ChCl) and three hydrogen-bond donors (HBD)—lactic acid (Lac), glycerol, and urea—were evaluated for isolation of willow (Salix matsudana cv. Zhuliu) lignin. DESs types, mole ratio of ChCl to HBD, extraction temperature, and time on the fractionated DES-lignin yield demonstrated that the optimal DES-lignin yield (91.8 wt % based on the initial lignin in willow) with high purity of 94.5% can be reached at a ChCl-to-Lac molar ratio of 1:10, extraction temperature of 120 °C, and time of 12 h. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) , 13C-NMR, and 31P-NMR showed that willow lignin extracted by ChCl-Lac was mainly composed of syringyl and guaiacyl units. Serendipitously, a majority of the glucan in willow was preserved after ChCl-Lac treatment.

Purity, morphology, and structural characterization of synthesized deep eutectic solvent (DES)-lignins (D6h, D9h, D12h, D18h, D24h) extracted from willow (Salix matsudana cv. Zhuliu) after treatment with a 1:10 molar ratio of choline chloride and lactic acid at 120 °C for 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 h were carried out. The purity of DES-lignin was ~95.4%. The proportion of hydrogen (H) in DES-lignin samples increased from 4.22% to 6.90% with lignin extraction time. The DES-lignin samples had low number/weight average molecular weights (1348.1/1806.7 to 920.2/1042.5 g/mol, from D6h to D24h) and low particle sizes (702–400 nm). Atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis demonstrated that DES-lignin nanoparticles had smooth surfaces and diameters of 200–420 nm. Syringyl (S) units were dominant, and total phenolic hydroxyl content and total hydroxyl content reached their highest values of 2.05 and 3.42 mmol·g−1 in D12h and D6h, respectively. β-Aryl ether (β-O-4) linkages were eliminated during DES treatment.

A new functional biopolymer was synthesized through an ionic liquid-mediated homogeneous grafting of cinnamic anhydride to xylans. The ionic liquid used was 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (AMIMCl) ionic liquid. Xylans with degrees of substitution (DS) between 0.11 and 0.57 were accessible in a completely homogeneous system by changing catalysts (NaOH, KOH and LiOH), time, reaction temperature, and cinnamic anhydride/xylan molar ratio. The chemical structure and the thermal stability of the derivatives were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), 13C-NMR spectroscopy, and thermogravimetry. The thermal stability of the derivatives was reduced compared with the original xylan. Possible applications of the cinnamic anhydride-acylated xylan derivatives include wet-end papermaking, organic–inorganic composite films, and hydrogels.
