ThermalIy assisted hydrolysis and alkylation of lignins
نویسنده
چکیده
Three different milled lignins isolated from bamboo, pine and beech, corresponding to the three different structural groups, have been subjected to pyrolysis in the presence of tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAH). Pyrolysis of the lignins in the presence of TMAH releases the methyl esters and methyl ethers of the different lignin monomers. Several moieties bearing carboxylic acid groups, not previously detected using pyrolytic techniques, could be released from the three lignins, suggesting that the presence of these moieties in the lignin structure have been underestimated.

Pyrolytic alkylation-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of model polymers Further insights into the mechanism and scope of the technique
The mechanism of the high-temperature hydrolysis and alkylation with tetraalkylammonium hydroxides of bioand geopolymers has been approached mainly by studying the behaviour of single standard compounds. In the present work, we have applied this technique to three polymers of known structure, i.e. suberin, polycitraconic acid (peA) and a lignin dehydrogenase polymer (DHP), related respectively ...
متن کاملCharacterization of Lignins from Sugarcane Bagasse Pretreated with Green Liquor Combined with Ethanol and Hydrogen Peroxide
Sugarcane bagasse was pretreated by green liquor combined with ethanol (GL-Ethanol) and green liquor combined with H2O2 (GL-H2O2). After 72 h of enzymatic hydrolysis, the glucose yields of sugarcane bagasse pretreated with GL-Ethanol and GL-H2O2 were 97.7% and 41.7%, respectively. The reason that GL-Ethanol was more effective than GLH2O2 has not been elucidated clearly. In this study, the chemi...
متن کاملA kinetic approach to the alkylating potential of carcinogenic lactones.
The alkylating potential of beta-propiolactone (BPL), beta-butyrolactone (BBL), gamma-butyrolactone, and delta-valerolactone, which can be formed by the in vivo nitrosation of primary amino acids, was investigated kinetically. The nucleophile NBP, 4-(p-nitrobenzyl)pyridine, a trap for alkylating agents, was used as an alkylation substrate. The alkylation reactions were performed under mimicked ...

Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry is evaluated as an elucidation tool for structural features and molecular weights estimation of some extracted herbaceous lignins. Optimization of analysis conditions, using a typical organic matrix, namely α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA), in combination with α-cyclodextrin, allows efficient ionizatio...
متن کاملStimulation and inhibition of enzymatic hydrolysis by organosolv lignins as determined by zeta potential and hydrophobicity
BACKGROUND Lignin typically inhibits enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulosic biomass, but certain organosolv lignins or lignosulfonates enhance enzymatic hydrolysis. The hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions between lignin and cellulases play critical roles in the enzymatic hydrolysis process. However, how to incorporate these two interactions into the consideration of lignin effects has not be...
