Biomass sand stabilization material (BSSM) was prepared with the lignosulfonate, which is the byproduct of pulp and paper mills. The biodegradability of BSSM was studied by laccase. The changes of enzyme activity, the sulfonate group content, conjugated carbonyl and quinone content were determined during treating steps. UV-Vis, FTIR and 1H-NMR spectra were used to evaluate the degradation and changes of BSSM. Decrease of methoxyl groups and increase of conjugated carbonyl and quinone content indicated that BSSM could be oxidized by laccase-ABTS, and quinone was one of important products. The results implied that BSSM was biodegradable.
