چکیده
Changes in the lignocellulosic composition of four hardwoods, i.e. Eucalyptus grandis camaldulensis (E. gc), E. grandis urophylla (E. gu), E. dunnii and E. nitens, were investigated during different delignification processes using confocal Raman spectroscopy, Cross-Polarization Magic Angle Spinning Carbon 13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (CP/MAS C-NMR) spectroscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) in conjunction with image analysis. The confocal Raman results evidenced differences in the distribution of lignin between the middle lamella and the secondary cell wall layer for all clones and species investigated. The E. gc clone showed high levels of lignin in the secondary cell wall layer, compared to the E. gu clone, E. dunnii and E. nitens species. CP/MAS C-NMR spectroscopic results revealed an increase in cellulose crystallinity during chlorite delignification, acid bisulphite pulping and subsequent oxygen delignification, accompanied by an increase in the cellulose ‘aggregate’ area with a corresponding decrease in the ‘matrix’ area for each clone and species.

Protonation of carbon single-walled nanotubes studied using 13C and 1H-13C cross polarization nuclear magnetic resonance and Raman spectroscopies.
The reversible protonation of carbon single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) in sulfuric acid and Nafion was investigated using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Raman spectroscopies. Magic-angle spinning (MAS) was used to obtain high-resolution 13C and 1H-13C cross polarization (CP) NMR spectra. The 13C NMR chemical shifts are reported for bulk SWNTs, H2SO4-treated SWNTs, SWNT-Nafion po...
متن کاملHigh-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance of solids.
The development of line-narrowing techniques, such as magic-angle spinning (MAS) and high-power decoupling, has led to powerful high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance approaches for solid samples. In favorable cases (for instance, where high abundances of protons are present) cross polarization (CP) provides a means of circumventing the time bottleneck caused by inefficient spinlattice rela...

The use of biomasses that result from the agriculture and food industries in removing heavy metals from wastewaters is attracting increasing interest. We present a joined potentiometric and cross polarization magic angle spinning (CP-MAS) carbon-13 (13C) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study on the interaction of olive stones with copper(II), nickel(II), and cadmium(II). The potentiometric mea...

Insect chitin possessing shell-like structure was prepared from the bumblebee corpses by a consequent treatment with 1M HCl and 1M NaOH. The bumblebee chitin was compared with crustacean (shrimp) chitin by using elemental analysis, Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) and solid-state (13)C cross-polarization magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (CP/MAS)-NMR spectroscopy and confocal mi...

Cross-polarization (CP) magic angle spinning (MAS) 13C NMR spectroscopy has become a routine tool in pharmacy, employed to identify and characterize drugs in the solid phase. 13C CPMAS NMR spectra were recorded for solid hydrocortisone 21-hemisuccinate and suxamethonium chloride. White crystalline substances, such as these two drugs, can be easily distinguished; and solid-state 13NMR spectra of...
