Abstract

The objective of this paper was to depict some differences between Caribbean pine bark and wood lignin. Gas chromotography (GC) of nitrobenzene oxidation products of extracted wood and bark meals and of corresponding dioxane lignins was performed. The isolated lignins were submitted to IR and UV spectrometry, gel permeation chromatography and differential thermo-gravimetry. The data obtained indicate differences in the contents of condensed bis-guaiacyl structures in the lignins. Contents of phenolic hydroxyl and α-carbonyl groups in both lignins do not markedly differ. There are also certain differences in the thermostability and the molecular weights of compared dioxane lignin preparations.

Zusammenfassung

Ziel dieser Arbeit war das Studium der Lignineigenschaften im Holz und in der Rinde der mittelamerikanischen Kiefer. Hierfür wurden die Produkte der Nitrobenzoloxidation von extrahiertem Holz und extrahierter Rinde mit Hilfe der Gaschromatographie (GC) auftetrennt. Mit dieser Methode wurden auch die Oxidationsprodukte der entsprechenden Ligninpräparate analysiert. Die isolierten Lignine wurden anschließend der IR- und UV-Spektroskopie, der Gel-Permeationschromatographie (GPC) sowie der Differential-thermogravimetrie unterworfen. Die Ergebnisse weisen auf Unterschiede im Gehalt an Bis-Guaisacyl-Strukturen in den untersuchten Ligninen hin. Im Gehalt der phenolischen Hydroxyl-sowie Carbonylgruppen der beiden Lignine gibt es keine signifikanten Unterschiede. Dagagen wurden Unterschiede in der Thermostabilität und in den Molmassen der verglichenen Ligninpräparate festgestellt.
