Topochemistry of delignification in Douglas-fir wood with soda, soda-anthraquinone and karft pulping as determined by SEM-EDXA
TL;DR: In this paper, bromine concentrations in various morphological regions with SEM-EDXA technique were established for Douglas-fir earlywood tracheids pulped by soda, soda-anthraquinone (soda/AQ) and kraft pulping processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strong interactions during lignin pyrolysis in wood – A study by in situ probing of the radical chain reactions using model dimers
TL;DR: In this paper, the β-ether type lignin model dimers have been pyrolyzed in the presence of wood and its constituent polymers (i.e., milled wood lignins, cellulose, and hemicelluloses) in a closed ampoule under N2 at 200-350°C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photocatalytic activity of TiO2 crystallite-activated carbon composites prepared in supercritical isopropanol for the decomposition of formaldehyde
Biao Huang,Shiro Saka +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a photocatalytic TiO2 crystallite-activated carbon (TiO2-AC) composites from tetraisopropyl titanate (TPT)-soaked activated carbon in supercritical isopropanol was developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal glycosylation and degradation reactions occurring at the reducing ends of cellulose during low-temperature pyrolysis.
TL;DR: The results of neat cellulose pyrolysis indicated that two competitive reactions, thermal glycosylation and degradation, formed a dark-colored substance at the reducing ends while the internal glucose units in the cellulose were comparatively stable.
