The present invention discloses a lignin-based hierarchical porous carbon with high specific surface area and preparation method and application thereof. The present invention employs maleic anhydride, acrylic acid, and hypophosphorous acid to modify a lignin, then performs a cross-linking reaction with a glutaraldehyde-triethanolamine condensate to prepare a lignin graft-copolymerized by phosphino carboxylic acid copolymer, and then dropwise adding a soluble calcium salt solution and a soluble carbonate solution into the lignin graft-copolymerized by phosphino carboxylic acid copolymer dispersion successively, co-precipitates to prepare a lignin/nano CaCOcomplex, finally obtains a lignin-based hierarchical porous carbon with high specific surface area through carbonizing at a high temperature. The preparation method of the present invention may enable nano CaCOto be uniformly and stably dispersed in a three-dimensional network structure of the lignin graft-copolymerized by phosphino carboxylic acid copolymer, realizing full and uniform complexation of the lignin with nano CaCO.

A method for promoting enzymolysis of lignocellulose by using a pH-responsive lignin amphoteric surfactant and recovery of a cellulase. The method includes: adding lignocellulose to a buffer solution, and then adding a pH-responsive lignin amphoteric surfactant and a cellulase; controlling the pH of the mixed solution to be 4.0-6.2, heating the solution to a temperature of 40&#xb0; C. to 60&#xb0; C. and reacting at said temperature for 24-96 h to obtain a saccharified hydrolyzate of lignocellulose; and obtaining an enzymolysed liquid by solid-liquid separation, and then adjusting the pH of the enzymolysed liquid to precipitate the pH-responsive lignin amphoteric surfactant and the cellulase for recycling. The method can effectively improve the enzymolysis efficiency of lignocellulose, recover a certain amount of cellulase, and expand the applications of industrial lignin. The method does not require additional equipment, and is simple to operate and environmentally friendly.
