The separation of the products from the alkaline oxidative depolymerization of lignin is currently very laborious, generally, requiring several steps of solvent extraction and precipitation. The separation of the different species was achieved by adsorption with nonpolar SP700 resin, which is able to fractionate the real solution in families of chemicals namely phenolic acids, aldehydes and ketones. The main fractions obtained during adsorption, desorption with water followed by desorption with ethanol are very distinct in composition; the first is richer in vanillic (VA) and syringic (SA) acids, the second, mostly vanillin (V) and syringaldehyde (S) and the third one concentrates acetovanillone (VO) and acetosyringone (SO). Fractionation can be adjusted by choosing the pH of the feed mixture which was studied in the range of 9 to 12. Depending on the fixed feed pH, the recoveries of aldehydes (V + S) in the water desorption step were almost complete (> 80% at pH 10 or above) with only traces present in the fraction desorbed with ethanol. It was found that pH 12 was better for concentrating aldehydes and ketones at the same time, and that pH 10 was better at maximizing the fractionation of aldehydes and ketones since the majority of aldehydes desorb in the water phase (87%) while there is also a decrease on the amount of the ketones desorbed (from 53% to 25%). Ketones are desorbed preferably in the ethanolic phase.
