  2. Lignin characterization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lignin_characterization

    The term "lignin characterization" (or "lignin analysis") refers to a group of activities within lignin research aiming at describing the characteristics of a lignin by determination of its most important properties. [1] Most often, this term is used to describe the characterization of technical lignins by means of chemical or thermo-chemical ...

  3. Lignin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lignin

    An example of composition from an aspen [8] sample is 63.4% carbon, 5.9% hydrogen, 0.7% ash (mineral components), and 30% oxygen (by difference), [9] corresponding approximately to the formula (C 31 H 34 O 11) n. Lignin is a collection of highly heterogeneous polymers derived from a handful of precursor lignols. Heterogeneity arises from the ...

  4. Hydrogen polyoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_polyoxide

    Chemical structure of water, the simplest hydrogen polyoxide. Hydrogen polyoxides (also known as oxidanes, oxohydrogens, or oxyhydrogens) are chemical compounds that consist only of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, are bonded exclusively by single bonds (i.e., they are saturated), and are acyclic (have molecular structures containing no cycles or loops).

  5. Properties of nonmetals (and metalloids) by group - Wikipedia

    2, and is remarkable in having direct chemical bonds between two notoriously unreactive atoms, xenon and gold, with xenon acting as a transition metal ligand. The compound Xe 2 Sb 2 F 11 contains a Xe–Xe bond, the longest element-element bond known (308.71 pm = 3.0871 Å). The most common oxide of xenon (XeO 3) is strongly acidic.

  6. Bleaching of wood pulp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleaching_of_wood_pulp

    Chlorine replaces hydrogen on the aromatic rings of lignin via aromatic substitution, oxidizes pendant groups to carboxylic acids and adds across carbon carbon double bonds in the lignin sidechains. Chlorine also attacks cellulose , but this reaction occurs predominantly at pH = 7, where un-ionized hypochlorous acid , HClO, is the main chlorine ...

  7. Metal hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_hydroxide

    In soils, it is assumed that larger amounts of natural phenols are released from decomposing plant litter rather than from throughfall in any natural plant community. . Decomposition of dead plant material causes complex organic compounds to be slowly oxidized (lignin-like humus) or to break down into simpler forms (sugars and amino sugars, aliphatic and phenolic organic acids), which are ...

  8. Metallic hydrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallic_hydrogen

    Though often placed at the top of the alkali metal column in the periodic table, hydrogen does not, under ordinary conditions, exhibit the properties of an alkali metal. Instead, it forms diatomic H 2 molecules, similar to halogens and some nonmetals in the second period of the periodic table, such as nitrogen and oxygen .

  9. Paper chemicals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_chemicals

    Chemical pulping involves dissolving lignin in order to extract the cellulose from the wood fiber. The different processes of chemical pulping include the Kraft process, which uses caustic soda and sodium sulfide and is the most common; alternatively, the use of sulfurous acid is known as the sulfite process, the neutral sulfite semichemical is treated as a third process separate from sulfite ...
