Abstract:

Objective: The main purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of dissolution and regeneration of bamboo in LiCl/DMSO solvent system,and to provide a feasible solvent system for detailed elucidation of structural information of bamboo protolignin. Method: The analysis of general chemical composition was followed by national standard method. The contents of structural unit of lignin were conducted by alkaline nitrobenzene oxidation,the effects of dissolution and regeneration of bamboo on the cellulose crystallinity were investigated by X-ray diffraction. Result: Bamboo samples with 2 h ball milling could be dissolved in 6% LiCl/DMSO solvent system at a mass concentration of 7.5%,even 10% in the 8% LiCl/DMSO solvent system. The lignin yield was about 90%,the phenylpropane unit structure was found to be well preserved by nitrobenzene oxidation reaction after regeneration in water,the S unit was about 50%,while carbohydrate content was a little loss and the crystallinity was decreased from 58.7% to 26.5%. Conclusion: The effects of ball milled time and LiCl concentration in DMSO on dissolution of bamboo in LiCl/DMSO solvent system were showed. Regenerated ability of chemical composition was high. Compared with that of carbohydrate,lignin ability was higher. In addition,condensed degree of lignin unit was lower than that of rice straw,and both effects of ball milling and regeneration treatment on lignin structure were not found from alkaline nitrobenzene oxidation results,and the crystallinity of cellulose was destroyed by regeneration. The bio-structure and the chemical composition of bamboo were similar to those of wood,so its dissolution property was also close to that of wood. The LiCl/DMSO solvent system could be used to elucidation protolignin information of bamboo.
