The pyrolysis chemistry of a β-O-4 type oligomeric lignin model compound
Abstract
The pyrolysis behavior of a β-O-4 type oligomeric lignin model compound is studied at a temperature range from 250 °C to 550 °C. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) indicates the model compound has three distinct thermal decompositions peaks when a slow temperature ramp is applied while only one decomposition peak is observed when a higher temperature ramp is used. The pyrolysis behavior of this model compound is similar to that of lignin prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis of Maplewood. 1H-NMR shows that the β-O-4 linkage thermally decomposes at a temperature between 250 °C and 350 °C with the formation of solid products at 350 °C. This solid product undergoes transformation to a polyaromatic from 350 °C to 550 °C. Around twenty five volatile compounds are quantified by pyroprobe-GC-MS with vanillin and 2-methoxy-4-methyl phenol being the most abundant monomeric products. A free radical reaction pathway is proposed to explain the product chemistry for pyrolysis of the lignin model compound. Char is most likely formed by random repolymerization of the radicals.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
