研究了毛竹综纤维素和木质素含量近红外光谱定量分析方法的建立。选用不同竹龄、纵向和横向部位的54个竹材粉末样品,用湿化学方法测定其综纤维素和木质素含量。在综纤维素和木质素含量的分布范围内,从低值、中间值和高值中挑选11个代表性样品,11个样品按预定比例混合得到21个混合样品,混合样品的综纤维素和木质素含量计算得到,再挑选22个目标成分含量不同的样品组成54个样品的校正集。用偏最小二乘法分别建立样品综纤维素含量、木质素含量和近红外漫发射光谱之间的相关模型。结果表明,综纤维素含量的预测模型的相关系数(R_p)为0.92,标准偏差(SEP)为1.04％;木质素含量的预测模型的R_p为0.93,SEP为0.91％,与常规方法建立的模型预测精度相似。说明利用样品混合的方式可快速增加校正集样品的数量、改善校正集样品的分布状况,继而建立稳定可靠的近红外定量分析模型。

Production of oxychemicals from precipitated hardwood lignin

Lignin is a major byproduct in the biomass-to-ethanol process. The lignin produced from acid treatment of biomass has characteristics suitable for further conversion to organic chemicals. It is free of contaminants and has a relatively low molecular weight. In this study, catalytic oxidative conversion of the acid-soluble lignin precipitated from acid hydrolysates of hardwood was investigated. The process is based on aqueous alkaline oxidation of lignin with dissolved O₂ in the presence of Fe³⁺ and Cu²⁺ catalysts at moderate reaction temperatures (160–180°C). Aromatic aldehydes, ketones, and organic acids are found to be the primary products identifiable on extraction with ether. The combined weight yield of the total ether extractable products is about 20–25% of the initial lignin. The yield of the aldehydes (vanillin + syringaldehyde) is in the vicinity of 15% with an additional 3 to 4% of aromatic ketones. The yields of aldehydes plus ketones observed in this work far exceeded those obtainable from the conventional alkaline air oxidation of spent sulfite liquors. This article also provides comprehensive batch reaction data on conversion and product distribution.     

Adsorption performance and stability of the modified straws and their extracts of cellulose,lignin, and hemicellulose for Pb2+: pH effect

Adsorption performance and stability of the carboxyl groups modified straws and their extracts of cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose for Pb²⁺ were investigated, and the optimum pH range for Pb²⁺ adsorption was determined by considering both the stability and capacity of the modified biosorbents for the first time. Results showed that adsorption capacity and stability of the straws and extracts were both improved significantly after modification. Adsorption capacities of the modified straws and extracts followed the order: modified hemicellulose > modified lignin, modified straw > modified cellulose, while stability of them followed the reverse order. In the optimum pH range from 4.0 to 5.0, modified rape and cotton straw showed better stability than the modified maize straw, and total organic carbon (TOC) values determined from the two modified straws and extracts were lower than 5.0 mg L⁻¹ even after adsorption for 30 days, which reached the drinking water standard in China.     

Variations in the chemical composition within pine (Pinus sylvestris) trunks determined by diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy and chemometrics

The feasibility of using DRIFT (diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform) spectroscopy combined with a multivariate analysis method (a PLS (projection to latent structures), regression) for predicting the distribution of the main organic constituents (cellulose, glucomannan, xylan, lignin, and extractives) within the Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) stemwood was examined. PLS calibrations were carried out to establish a mathematical correlation between the data sets of conventional (“wet-chemistry-based”) wood analysis and the DRIFT spectra of the corresponding wood samples. Based on this approach, different surface maps on variations in the content of the main organic constituents within the stemwood matrix were shown.

Palladium-Nafion SAC-13 catalysed depolymerisation of lignin to phenols in formic acid and water

Guaiacol, pyrocatechol and resorcinol, were isolated and quantified as the major products from catalytic pyrolysis of lignin of various origin. The novel procedure utilises formic acid as the hydrogen source in combination with a palladium catalyst and Nafion^® SAC-13 as a solid acid catalyst with water as reaction medium. The reaction is conducted at moderate pyrolysis temperature and short reaction time. Several palladium based catalysts and different types of lignin were investigated. The lignins and the model compounds demonstrated various chemical behaviour, under identical reaction conditions; various phenols were formed from the lignins, while the model compounds were hydrodeoxygenated, demethylated and demethoxylated.
