Lignin is the second most abundant natural biopolymer, which is a potential alternative to conventional fossil fuels. It is also a promising material for the recovery of valuable chemicals such as aromatic compounds as well as an important biomarker for terrestrial organic matter. Lignin is currently produced in large quantities as a by-product of chemical pulping and cellulosic ethanol processes. Consequently, analytical methods are required to assess the content of valuable chemicals contained in these complex lignin wastes. This review is devoted to the application of mass spectrometry, including data analysis strategies, for the elemental and structural elucidation of lignin products. We describe and critically evaluate how these methods have contributed to progress and trends in the utilization of lignin in chemical synthesis, materials, energy, and geochemistry. 相似文献
Partitioning adsorption properties of palladium cations on composite supports of MgO/-Al2O3 were explored by IR, TPR and catalytic performance tests for CO oxidation. The experimental results revealed that palladium cations in conventional impregnation was dispersed completely on -Al2O3, when the amount of MgO in the samples was lower than 5%. For the catalysts prepared by double impregnation, part of palladium dispersed on MgO phase due to the complexing action of EDTA. Pd–MgO interaction suppressed the reaction of CO oxidation. 相似文献
Macrocystis pyrifera is one important marine macro-algae, while its residues produced by industrial alginate extraction is a hot potato. To figure out whether its residue is suitable for pyrolysis for biofuel, the pyrolytic characteristics and kinetics of macro-algae M. pyrifera residue was investigated using thermogravimetric method from 50 to 800 °C in an inert argon atmosphere at different heating rates of 5, 10, 20, and 30 °C min?1. The activation energy and pre-exponential factor was calculated by Flynn–Wall–Ozawa, Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose, and Popescu methods, and the kinetic mechanism was deduced by Popescu method. The results showed that the primary devolatilization stage of M. pyrifera residue can be described by Jander function $ \left(\left[ {1 - \left( {1 - \alpha } \right)^{1/3} } \right]^{2}\right) $. The average activation energy of M. pyrifera residue was 222.4 kJ mol?1. The results suggested that the experimental results and kinetic parameters provided useful information for the design of pyrolytic processing system using M. pyrifera residue as feedstock. 相似文献

An iron‐mediated reverse ATRP of methyl methacrylate (MMA) is successfully carried out in water in the absence of any dispersants, using a water‐soluble 2,2′‐azobis(2‐methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride (V‐50) as the initiator and the stabilizer, and using an oil‐soluble N,N‐butyldithiocarbamate ferrum (Fe(S2CN(C4H9)2)3) as the catalyst without adding any additional ligands. Micron‐sized PMMA particles with UV light‐sensitive ‐S2CN(C4H9)2 end group are obtained, and monomer droplet nucleation and suspension polymerization mechanism are proposed. Polymerization results demonstrated typical “living”/controlled characteristics of ATRP: first‐order polymerization kinetics, linear increase of molecular weights with monomer conversion and narrow molecular weight distributions for the resultant PMMA particles. NMR spectroscopy and chain‐extension experiments under UV light irradiation confirm the attachment and livingness of UV light‐sensitive ‐S2CN(C4H9)2 group in the chain end.
