The research status of lignin extraction using deep eutectic solvents (DES) is reviewed,including the physical and chemical properties of DES,the separation theory of DES for lignin extraction,influencing factors,strengthening methods,and separation limitation.The potential application prospects of DES in the separation and extraction of biomass lignin are also predicted.The viscosity and density of DES are influenced by the factors such as the content and type of hydrogen bond donors,as well as the temperature of reaction system.Reducing the viscosity and density of DES can enhance the mass transfer efficiency between DES and lignin-hydrocarbon compounds,thereby improving the extraction efficiency of lignin.In addition,the extraction efficiency of lignin also has relations to the type and content of functional groups in DES,as well as their acidity or alkalinity.Based on the designable characteristics of DES,the components of DES are screened out according to their property parameters.DES can be specifically tailored for the specific lignin separation system to improve the extraction rate and quality of lignin.Expanding the sources of lignin and developing extraction research of lignin from waste biomass will contribute to achieving the dual goals of environmental protection and wastes re-utilization.
