Effect of Hydroxyl Radical on the Selectivity of Delignification during Oxygen Delignification of Bamboo Pulp

چکیده
The main challenge in the oxygen delignification process is the improvement of selectivity. To further understand the effect of the amount of hydroxyl radicals on the selectivity of oxygen delignification, in this work, the hydroxyl radicals were generated by the improved Fenton reaction system and were quantified by UV spectrophotometry. Antioxidants such as ascorbic acid were applied for the scavenging of hydroxyl radicals so that the amount of hydroxyl radicals could be regulated. The bamboo kraft pulps were treated with the Fenton system or the Fenton system combined with ascorbic acid. The results indicated that the improved Fenton reaction system could be used for the determination of hydroxyl radicals by UV spectrophotometry. The amount of hydroxyl radicals could be regulated to a suitable extent by the hydroxyl radical scavengers during oxygen delignification so that the delignification selectivity improvement was achieved.

A series of kraft pulps were prepared in which the level of calcium was selectively enriched and depleted. These pulps were then oxygen delignified, and the pulps were characterized according to kappa number and viscosity. The residual lignin samples were isolated via acid-hydrolysis and characterized by NMR techniques. The results indicated that the presence of nonprocess elements could impact...

The electronic structures of three lignin model compounds were computed by means of semi-empirical (PM3) and density functional methods (B3LYP), both in vacuo and in solution. The computed values of proton affinities, electron affinities and O-H bond dissociation energies for 4-methylphenol, 2-methoxy-4methylphenol and 2,6-dimethoxy-4-methylphenol were compared with those of the oxygen-derived ...
