چکیده

Peroxide bleaching is significantly affected by transition and alkaline earth metals. Isolating the effects of different transition and alkaline earth metals on the reactions of peroxide with different representative lignin structures allows the separation of the positive from the negative contributions of these metal ions. In this work, five monomeric or dimeric phenolic lignin model compounds were treated with alkaline hydrogen peroxide in the absence or presence of Mn2+, Cu2+, Fe3+, and Mg2+. We followed the disappearance of the starting material and the progress of demethylation, radical coupling and oxalic acid formation were followed. Transition metals increased the reactivities of all the lignin model compounds with hydrogen peroxide in the order Mn2+ > Cu2+ > Fe3+, which is the same as the order of activity toward peroxide decomposition while Mg2+ stabilized the system. Demethylation, radical coupling, and oxalic acid formation were all increased by the presence of transition metals in the system and decreased by the addition of Mg2+. The acceleration of the total degree of reaction and of the demethoxylation reactions improves peroxide bleaching, but the increase in the radical coupling reactions can affect the further bleachability of pulp while the increase in the formation of oxalic acid could lead to a greater probability of scaling.

Adsorption of Cr(III) and Mg(II) from Hydrogen Peroxide Aqueous Solution by Amberlite IR-120 Synthetic Resin

In concentration of hydrogen peroxide, first, the solution should be quite pure, and then, it concentrate with methods such as vacuum distillation and cooling crystallization, because impurities in the hydrogen peroxide solution in high concentrations are causing decomposition of this substance; that is very dangerous. The purpose of this article is separation of chromium and magne...

Manganese Peroxidase, Produced by Trametes versicolor during Pulp Bleaching, Demethylates and Delignifies Kraft Pulp.

Previous work has shown that Trametes (Coriolus) versicolor bleaches kraft pulp brownstock with the concomitant release of methanol. In this work, the fungus is shown to produce both laccase and manganese peroxidase (MnP) but not lignin peroxidase during pulp bleaching. MnP production was enhanced by the presence of pulp and/or Mn(II) ions. The maximum level of secreted MnP was coincident with ...

Optimization of Soil Aquifer Treatment by Chemical Oxidation with Hydrogen Peroxide Addition

Trace organic compounds (TrOCs), mostly found in secondary effluents, have a potential impact on the environment, affecting surface water, groundwater, and especially aquatic ecosystems. The present study focuses on oxidation of five selected TrOCs in column experiments, by simulating Soil Aquifer Treatment (SAT) integrated with Fenton-like reaction, using Granular Ferric Hydroxide (GFH) as a c...

Development of a Method for measuring Reactive Oxygen Radicals Levels In Vitro and Study the Effects of Vitamin C and E on Radical Production Reaction

Background: Free radicals and reactive oxygen species(ROS) are the most important factors in formation of oxidative stress reaction. Now, radical damage has been suggested to contribute to a wide variety of diseases such as Alzheimer, atherosclerosis and cancer. Transition metal ions in the presence of the various biomolecules produce these active compounds. The aim of this study is introducing...
