Study on the Mechanism of the Pyrolysis of a Lignin Monomeric Model Compound by in situ FTIR
نویسندگان
چکیده
The in situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy technique was used as an online method for fundamental mechanistic studies of the pyrolysis of a lignin monomeric model compound. The formation of important reaction intermediates was revealed. Three major decomposition routes were shown: P1, dehydration at approximately 270 °C; P2.1, demethylation at approximately 350 °C; and P2.2, Habstraction at approximately 430 °C. A free reaction of the pyrolysis of the lignin model compound was suggested based on the results. The comparative results showed that the methyl group was the initiator of many secondary reactions.

In situ stabilization of polypropylene by lignin using a Ziegler-Natta catalyst
A fourth-generation Ziegler-Natta catalyst was prepared to synthesize polypropylene (PP), which was stabilized by in situpolymerization employing lignin as antioxidant. The antioxidant properties of lignin were compared with those of the commercial antioxidant Irganox 1010. The presence of lignin in the reaction medium slightly decreased the catalytic activity of the reaction. The isotacticity ...
متن کاملDegradation of Lignin by Pyrolysis
Fast pyrolysis is an efficient technique for thermal degradation of lignin to bio-oils containing bio-phenols for the synthesis of adhesives, resins, and polymers. Lignin has a complex structure, and hence a large number of pyrolytic components are generated during the pyrolysis process. The composition of the pyrolytic products depends on the type of lignin, temperature, types of catalyst, and...

In this study, 4-benzyloxyphenol was introduced as an α-O-4 dimeric lignin model compound to explore the pyrolysis mechanism of α-O-4 linkage in lignin. Pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS), density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and collision theory were employed to illustrate the pyrolysis process experimentally and theoretically. The results suggest that the pyrol...
متن کاملInfluence of Biopretreatment on the Character of Corn Stover Lignin as Shown by Thermogravimetric and Chemical Structural Analyses
The effect of corn stover lignin structure alteration caused by white-rot fungi pretreatment on the pyrolysis kinetics was studied by FTIR and TG/DTA. Results showed that biopretreatment had a remarkable effect on lignin pyrolysis. Biopretreatment can decrease the activation energy and increase the pre-exponential factor in the initial stage of pyrolysis, which makes it possible to start the li...
متن کاملIn Situ Formation of SiC/CNT Ceramic Nanocomposite by Phenolic Pyrolysis
In this research, using pyrolysis of phenolic resin in the presence of silicon particles, the SiC ceramic composite is formed. The samples were prepared by introducing 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 wt% of Si particles to the phenolic resin. The samples were cured at 180°C then carbonized at 1100°C. The final carbonized C/Si composites are hot-pressed at 1500°C in inert atmosphere, which is more than th...
