Rm. Yang et Yz. Lai, THE INFLUENCE OF SULFIDITY IN KRAFT PULPING ON THE NATURE OF RESIDUALLIGNIN, Journal of wood chemistry and technology, 17(4), 1997, pp. 383-390
The influence of sulfidity in kraft pulping of Norway spruce chips on
the characteristics of residual lignin has been examined at two levels
25 and 40%. Comparing with the reference kraft cook at similar kappa
number, the high sulfidity pulp lignin displayed a significantly lower
phenolic hydroxyl group content, and a lower response to O-2 delignif
ication, but it gave a slightly higher yield of nitrobenzene oxidation
products, and was more responsive to a neutral sulfite treatment.
