Summary: Applying special computer mathematical treatments to increase resolution of experimental spectra there were established a set of stable characteristic bands for isolated softwood lignins. In the 740–1620 cm−1 spectral range the band maximum positions did not change but values of bandwidths and peak intensities were varied in limits 15% and 32%. After analysis of the infrared spectra of 30 investigated samples a softwood lignin spectral model was constituted. This model allowed to clear discrepancies in the bands parameters of different mild isolated (lignins of Bjorkman, Pepper and Freudenberg), dioxane and technical lignin spectra. It was helpful for studying lignin structure changes during degradation procedures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
