Abstract The degradation kinetics of a non-phenolic lignin model compound with α-carbonyl functionality (adlerone) has been studied by varying temperature and concentrations of sodium hydroxide, sodium hydrogen sulfide, and sodium sulfite. The kinetics of adlerone degradation and formation of its reaction products were monitored by UV-Vis spectroscopy and their structures were analyzed by GC/MS. The two step degradation of adlerone was studied in two separate experimental setups. In the first alkali catalyzed step, adlerone is converted to a β-elimination product that reacts further in the second step with hydrogen sulfide or sulfite ion. The Arrhenius kinetic parameters were derived by the KinFit software. The activation energy for the 1st step was 69.1 kJ mol-1, and for the 2nd step with sulfide 42.4 kJ mol-1 and with sulfite ion 35.8 kJ mol-1. The reaction mechanisms presented are in line with those published earlier: β-ether bonds of structures having α-carbonyl functionality do not cleave under soda pulping conditions, whereas in kraft and sulfite pulping the cleavage of β-ether bonds proceeds via nucleophile attack and addition. The combination of hydroxyl and sulfite ions gives the fastest cleavage of β-ether bonds in non-phenolic lignin structures with the α-carbonyl functionality.

Summary Guaiacylglycerol-β-guaiacyl ether (GG) was used as a lignin model compound to study the liquefaction reaction mechanism of lignin in the presence of phenol under the catalysis of several typical acids such as sulfuric, phosphoric and oxalic acids. The reaction products were isolated by silicagel column chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The structures of the obtained compounds were identified by means of GC-MS, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, 1H-1H COSY, HMBC and HMQC. As a result, about 30 compounds were obtained as the main reaction products. It was found that their structural characteristics were significantly different from those yielded at the non-catalyzed liquefaction (Lin et al. 1997a), and independent on the acid species. The dominant products were guaiacylglycerol-α-phenyl-β-guaiacyl ethers, followed by guaiacol, triphenylethanes, diphenylmethanes, benzocyclobutanes and phenylcoumarans. The structural characteristics and yields of these main reaction products indicated that condensation between phenol and GG in its C-α and further cleavages in both the β-O-4 linkage and Cβ–Cγ bonding could be the dominant reaction pathways.

Summary The kinetics of delignification of a kraft-AQ southern pine pulp with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by [LMn(IV)(μ-O)3Mn(IV)](ClO4)2 (1), where L = 1,2-bis(4,7-dimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclonon-1-yl)ethane was studied. The degree of delignification was significantly improved by using the catalyst. The pulp was bleached for 2 hours at 80°C, in 10% consistency with 2% NaOH, 4% H2O2 and 60 ppm catalyst charges on pulp (O.D.). Kappa number of the pulp was reduced from 31.6 to 16.8 corresponding to a degree of delignification of approximately 4%, while GE brightness was increased from 24.2 to 44.7. At the same time, viscosity of the resulting pulp was reduced from 31.1 mPa•s to 20.1 mPa•s compared to the reduction from 31.1 mPa•s to 20.1 mPa•s in the uncatalyzed bleaching under the same reaction condition. This indicates that the degradation of the carbohydrates was moderate in the catalyzed bleaching compared to the uncatalyzed bleaching. The delignification was found to follow pseudo first order kinetics with respect to kappa number, i.e., residual lignin, in the initial phase and quickly slowed down after 30 minutes (residual phase) under all the reaction temperatures investigated. The delignification rate constants in the initial phase were 0.17, 0.18, and 0.21 min−1 at 50, 60, and 80°C, respectively. Degree of delignification at the delignification time of 30 minutes is approximately 40% at 80°C. The possible delignification mechanism was discussed on the basis of the kinetic studies and lignin model compound experiments.

Summary By means of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC), the yields of the main reaction products and the polymeric portion formed in the reaction of guaiacylglycerol-β-guaiacyl ether (GG) under various acid-catalyzed conditions were quantified as a function of reaction time. Based on their forming sequence and reaction behavior, as well as their structural characteristics, an acid-catalyzed reaction mechanism of GG with phenol was proposed.

Abstract UV resonance Raman (UVRR) spectroscopy was used to study changes in the structure of reducing end groups of O-alkyl substituted celluloses under conditions simulating the initial phase of soda pulping. The derivatives studied were carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with a degree of substitution (DS) of 0.58 and methyl cellulose (MC) with DS of 1.64–1.95. Hot alkaline treatments were carried out in solutions of sodium hydroxide (0.1–1 M) at 95°C in the presence of creosol as a lignin model compound. Alkali-stable aromatic end groups were generated in both cellulose ethers. Moreover, the end groups of methyl cellulose were extensively condensed with creosol. The results demonstrate that aromatisation and condensation depend on the pH and reaction time.

Summary A phenolic β-O-4 type lignin model compound, guaiacylglycerol-β-guaiacyl ether (1) was treated with 70 wt% aq 1,3-butanediol solution at 160–200°C to investigate the delignification mechanism under HBS (high-boiling solvent) pulping conditions. The following compounds were identified from the reaction products by use of GC-MS: guaiacol (2), coniferyl alcohol (3), γ-etherified coniferyl alcohols (4) and α-etherified guaiacylglycerol-β-guaiacyl ethers (5), but acidolysis products, such as Hibbert's ketones were not detected. These results strongly suggest that the phenolic β-O-4 linkage was cleaved homolytically under HBS pulping conditions. The cleavage of β-ether exhibited a pseudo first-order rate behavior. The pseudo first-order rate constants were as follows: k = 0.94 × 10−2 min−1 at 160 °C; k = 1.97 × 10−2 min−1 at 170°C; k = 3.22 × 10−2 min−1 at 180 °C; k = 9.76 x 10−2 min−1 at 200 °C. The activation energy was 98.3 kJmol−1. The formation of higher molecular weight compounds was confirmed by GPC. It is highly probable that the oligomeric products were derived from the recombination of phenoxy radicals formed by homolysis of the β-aryl ether.

Summary A phenolic β-O-4 type lignin model compound, guaiacylglycerol-β-guaiacyl ether, was treated with 70 wt % aq 1,4-butanediol solution at 180°C to investigate the delignification mechanism under high-boiling solvent (HBS) pulping conditions. Thirteen compounds including four monomers, six dimers, two trimers and a tetramer were isolated from the reaction products. Most of these products were generated by recombination of phenoxy radicals formed by homolysis of the β-aryl ether. The results suggest that phenolic β-O-4 linkages in lignin are cleaved homolytically (radical mechanism) via quinone methide intermediates under HBS pulping conditions.

AbstractA non-phenolic C6-C2-type lignin model compound with the β-O-4 bond, 2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethanol (I), was acidolyzed in aqueous 82% 1,4-dioxane containing HBr, HCl, or H2SO4 with a concentration of 0.2 mol/L at 85 ℃ to examine the differences between these acidolyses. Compound I primarily converted to an enol ether compound, 1-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethene (II), via the benzyl cation followed by acidolytic β-O-4 bond cleavage regardless of the acid-type, although the disappearance rates of compound I were remarkably different (HBr > HCl >> H2SO4). Acidolyses of compound II using these acids under the same conditions showed a similar tendency, but the rate differences were much smaller than in the acidolyses of compound I. Acidolyses of the α-methyl-etherified derivative of compound I (I-α-OMe) using these acids under the same conditions suggested that the formation rates of the benzyl cation from compound I-α-OMe (also from compound I) are not largely different between the acidolyses using these acids, but those of compound II from the benzyl cation are remarkably different. Acidolysis of the α-bromo-substituting derivative of compound I (I-α-Br) using HBr under the same conditions showed a characteristic action of Br¯ in the acidolysis. Br¯ adds to the benzyl cation generated from compound I or I-α-OMe to afford unstable compound I-α-Br, resulting in acceleration of the formation of compound II and of the whole acidolysis reaction.

The chemical modifications of lignin-based superplasticizers have attracted extensive attentions during recent years. The comprehending of the structure-activity relationship of lignin-based superplasticizer is important to promote the modification and application research of lignin resources. However, lignin features complex and variable molecular structure, which is not conducive to study on structure-activity relationship of lignin-based superplasticizer as well as development and application of new lignin-based superplasticizer. However, the related research work can be simplified by selecting small molecular compound with appropriate molecular structure as the lignin model compound. This article intends to study the structure-activity relationship of lignin-based superplasticizer by using dihydroeugenol as the lignin model compound. Through the substitution of lignin by dihydroeugenol during the synthesis process, a model compound lignin-based superplasticizer (DAFS) was synthesized. The adsorption and dispersion properties of this superplasticizer and reference sample (LAFS) were investigated by fluidity test, Zeta-potential measurement, Total organic carbon analysis and others. The results suggest that the adsorption behavior of both DAFS and LAFS conformed to the Langmuir isotherms and Pseudo-second order kinetic. In cement paste, added with 1 g/L of LAFS and DAFS, Zeta potential were reduced from +3.5 to −15.2 mV and −18.7 mV, respectively. The substitution of lignin by dihydroeugenol has no significantly influence on the dispersive property, but differences on rheological properties which need to be optimized in the future. All the tests confirmed that dihydroeugenol is suitable to replace lignin on exploring the structure-activity relationship of lignin-based superplasticizer. This research work provides new insight on model study of lignin-based superplasticizer.
