Abstract
Summary: Bleached pulps were obtained from a Eucalyptus grandis peroxyformic/formic acid chemical pulp using oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, photosensitizers (methylene blue, Fe (II) 4,4′,4″,4‴-tetrasulfophthalocyanine, hemin, hematoporphyrin) and/or TiO2. Residual lignin of unbleached pulp, isolated and characterized by size exclusion chromatography, 31P NMR and thioacidolysis, was used to study the photochemical reactions occurring during the bleaching process. The main reactions were conversion of phenolic aromatic units into carboxylic acids and cleavage of the β-O-4 ether bonds leading to a depolymerization of the lignin framework into smaller fragments.Keywords
