Peroxide bleaching is significantly affected by transition and alkaline earth metals. Isolating the effects of different transition and alkaline earth metals on the reactions of peroxide with different representative lignin structures allows the separation of the positive from the negative contributions of these metal ions. In this work, five monomeric or dimeric phenolic lignin model compounds were treated with alkaline hydrogen peroxide in the absence or presence of Mn2+, Cu2+, Fe3+, and Mg2+. We followed the disappearance of the starting material and the progress of demethylation, radical coupling and oxalic acid formation were followed. Transition metals increased the reactivities of all the lignin model compounds with hydrogen peroxide in the order Mn2+ > Cu2+ > Fe3+, which is the same as the order of activity toward peroxide decomposition while Mg2+ stabilized the system. Demethylation, radical coupling, and oxalic acid formation were all increased by the presence of transition metals in the system and decreased by the addition of Mg2+. The acceleration of the total degree of reaction and of the demethoxylation reactions improves peroxide bleaching, but the increase in the radical coupling reactions can affect the further bleachability of pulp while the increase in the formation of oxalic acid could lead to a greater probability of scaling.Key words: lignins, hydrogen peroxide, peroxide bleaching, reactivity, chemical pulps, metal compounds, alkali treatment, transition metals, delignification.
过氧化物漂白受过渡金属和碱土金属的显着影响。隔离不同过渡金属和碱土金属对过氧化物与不同典型木质素结构反应的影响,可以将这些金属离子的正面和负面贡献分开。在这项工作中,五种单体或二聚酚酚木质素模型化合物在缺乏或存在Mn2+、Cu2+、Fe3+和Mg2+的碱性过氧化氢中处理。我们跟踪了起始物质的消失以及去甲基化、自由基偶联和草酸形成的进展。过渡金属按Mn2+ > Cu2+ > Fe3+的顺序增加了所有木质素模型化合物与过氧化氢的反应性,这与对过氧化物分解活性的顺序相同,而Mg2+稳定了系统。过渡金属的存在增加了体系中所有木质素模型化合物的去甲基化、自由基偶联和草酸形成,并且Mg2+的加入则减少了这些反应。总反应程度和去甲氧基化反应的加速改善了过氧化物漂白,但自由基偶联反应的增加可能会影响纸浆的进一步漂白性,而草酸形成的增加可能会导致更大的结垢概率。关键词:木质素、过氧化氢、过氧化物漂白、反应性、化学纸浆、金属化合物、碱处理、过渡金属、脱木质素。
