Abstract: CaO/MgO composite was prepared by impregnating Ca(CH3COO)2 on MgO carrier. The surface basicity of the catalyst could reach 30.2 mmol/g under the ratio of CaO/MgO of 0.08 and calcination at 700℃ for 24 h. The catalytic activity of CaO/MgO powder was tested in degradation reaction of lignin. The results showed that the average molecular weight of lignin decreased from 3 000 to less than 800, and the hydroxyl value increased from 200 to more than 500. FT-IR spectra disclosed that the ether bonds were reduced, while hydroxyl bonds were increased significantly.

Key words: lignin, solid base catalysts, ether bonds
