Effects of Hydrothermal Pretreatment on the Content and Structure of Lignin Extracted from Corncob

Article Preview

Abstract:

A systematic hydrothermal pretreatment of corncob has been conducted with an aim to trace the content and property of lignin during the pretreatment process. The result showed that the lowest content of lignin was obtained under the following condition: water-solid ratio is 3:1,180 °C for 90min with 0.4g auxiliary medium. TG and FTIR analysis has been conducted to investigate the thermal stability and structure of lignin, and the result indicated that hydrothermal pretreatment influenced the thermal stability and structure of lignin extracted from corncob.
