Basic Studies on the Pyrolysis of Lignin Compounds

리그닌 화합물의 열분해에 관한 기초 연구

Lignin model compounds I-lV were pyrolyzed at 315$^{\circ}C$. The mixture compounds pyrolized were analyzed by GC-MS spectrometry. The results were summarized as follows : 1. From the pyrolysis of lignin model compound I and II, 0.45mo1 of guaiacol, 0.5mol of dimethoxyphenol(DMP), and 0.12 and 0.23mo1 of dimethoxyacetonphenone(DMAP) were produced respectively. 2. In the pyrolysis of lignin model compound III and IV, 0.26mol of guaiacol, 0.30mo1 of DMP, and 0.09 and 0.15mo1 of trimethoxyaretonphenone(TMAP) were produced respectively 3. Pyrolysis mechanism of lignin model compounds are dehydrated at first, and $\beta$-04 linkage cleavaged, and then guaiacol, DMP, DMAP and TMAP were produced. The above results show that lignin model compound I and II produce more aromatic compounds than lignin model compound III and IV. This is reason that veratryl unit structures may pyrolize easier than trimethoxyphenol unit structures. The closer research is proceeding.

리그닌 모델화합물 Ⅰ-Ⅳ의 시료를 315℃에서 열분해 시킨 결과, 리그닌 모델호합물 Ⅰ, Ⅱ의 열분해에서는 guaiacol이 0.47mol, DMP가 0.57mol로, DMAP는 0.12와 0.23mol로 각각 생성되었으며, 리그닌 모델화합물 Ⅲ, Ⅳ의 열분해에서는 guaiacol의 생성이 0.26mol, DMP가 0.30mol로 TMAP는 0.09mol 과 0.15mol이 각각 생성되었다. 리그닌 모델화합물 열분해 메커니즘으로서는 우선 탈수되고, 이어서 β-O-4 결합이 개열되어 guaiacol, DMP, DMAP와 TMAP가 생성되는 것을 알 수 있었다.
