Abstract

Hardwood kraft lignin was fractionated with various organic solvents to obtain more homogeneous lignin. Using organic solvent solubility, hardwood kraft lignin was clearly separated into six fractions (F1-F5 and FI) by molecular size. Compared with hardwood kraft lignin, the molecular weight (MW) distribution of each fraction was in a relatively small range and the MW of each fraction (F1-F5) gradually increased from F1 to F5. In addition, thermal stability of the fraction was improved by increasing MW and the resulting glass transition temperature also increased with increasing MW. As a result of Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis, the functional groups of each fraction, except for FI, were very similar. The methoxyl group contents of fractionated lignins from F1 to F5 were 6.2 mmol/g, 2.4 mmol/g, 2.0 mmol/g, 1.9 mmol/g, and 1.6 mmol/g, respectively. Furthermore, the methoxyl group and phenolic OH group contents tended to decrease with increasing MW. It was confirmed by the result of pyrolysis gas chromatography/mass spectrometer (Py-GC/MS) analysis that there were many sulfur-bonded structures in the F1 fraction.
