  • Title: Structural variation of eucalyptus lignin in a combination of hydrothermal and alkali treatments.
    Author: Sun SN, Li HY, Cao XF, Xu F, Sun RC.
    Journal: Bioresour Technol; 2015 Jan; 176():296-9. PubMed ID: 25435069.
    Abstract:
    In this work, the structural features of the lignin isolated with 2% NaOH at 90°C for 2.5h from the hydrothermally pretreated eucalyptus fibers at different temperatures (100-200°C) for different times (15-60min) were thoroughly investigated. Results showed that the hydrothermal pretreatment facilitated the separation of alkali lignin from the pretreated fibers. It was found that the linkages of β-O-4, β-β, and β-5 decreased gradually with the increase of hydrothermal severity. Furthermore, decreased molecular weights (1630-510g/mol), associated carbohydrates contents (1.99-0.05%) and aliphatic OH contents (3.37-0.65mmol/g), and increased phenolic OH contents (0.71-2.98mmol/g) and thermal stability of the alkali lignins were observed with the increase of the hydrothermal severity.
