Abstract:

The grafting method is widely adopted for developing lignin-based polymer materials with high properties. Aimed at studying various initiators (Fenton, K2S2O8, H2O2-CaCl2) effects on calcium lignosulfonate from eucalyptus (HLS-Ca) in graft copolymerization, HLS-Ca was treated by the above initiators, respectively. Changes in the functional composition of HLS-Ca were investigated by using Difference UV, FTIR, UV spectroscopy and intrinsic viscosity ([η]) methods. The results show that the changes in the structure and reactivity of HLS-Ca were observed due to some certain reactions between it and initiators. Under our experimental conditions, the benzene ring stable against the oxidation of Fenton and K2S2O8 initiators; the content of phenolic hydroxyl (Ph-OH) group decreases under the incubation of Fenton and K2S2O8 initiators though it's not oxidized to the structure like quinone; the content of aryl-ether,[η] and viscosity-average molecular weight () increase. Under the treatment of H2O2-CaCl2 initiator, the content of Ph-OH group decreases dramatically and it could be transformed to carbonyl structure. The destruction of benzene ring results in the decrease in the [η] and for HLS-Ca.

Key words: initiator, calcium lignosulfonate from eucalyptus, phenolic hydroxyl group, benzene ring, viscosity-average molecular weight
