CHEMICAL AND THERMAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THREE INDUSTRIAL LIGNINS AND THEIR CORRESPONDING LIGNIN ESTERS

Corn stover and rice straw lignin samples received from ethanol pilot plants, along with softwood kraft lignin samples, were characterized using pyrolysis GC-MS, 13C CP/MAS NMR spectroscopy, and permanganate oxidation degradation. The lignins were then esterified using 1-methylimidazole as a catalys...
