ABSTRACT:
Lignin is precipitated in high yields and at high rates from a black liquor produced by pulping wood at high temperatures and pressures with an aqueous lower aliphatic alcohol solvent. The lignin is precipitated by diluting the black liquor with water and an acid to form a solution with a pH of less than about 3, an alcohol content of less than about 30% by volume and a temperature of less than about 75.degree. C. The precipitated lignin, when subsequently dried, is in the form of a powder which requires little or no crushing to convert it into a fine uniform size suitable for use without further significant processing.
