| Abstract: | Cunninghamia lanceolata wood meal samples with different lignin contents after delignification with an acidic NaClO2 system were carboxymethylated, and the degree of substitution (DS) and the distribution of the carboxymethyl (CM) groups
were investigated by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy. Cellulose samples prepared from bleached kraft softwood pulp, food-grade konjac mannan, and commercial
oat xylan (containing 10% arabinosyl and 15% glucosyl residues) were also investigated. The chemical shift of methylene protons
in 1H NMR spectra of CM groups of carboxymethyl konjac mannan and commercial oat xylan appeared in the same region as those of
carboxymethylcellulose. The DS of carboxymethyl lignocellulose (CMLC) increased slightly from 1.36 to 1.48 with decreasing
lignin content, but the water solubility of CMLC clearly increased with decreasing lignin content. It was suggested that the
covalent linkages between lignin and cell-wall polysaccharides play the role of cross-linker in CMLC. Water absorbents were
synthesized by graft-copolymerization of acrylic acid onto CMLC samples with different lignin contents. The highest level
of water absorbency was obtained from CMLC containing 14% of lignin, suggesting the importance of lignin as the cross-linker. |
