Formation And Characterization Of Mechanochemically Generated Free Lignin Radicalsfrom Olive Seeds, Fatma Demi̇r

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

In this study, formation and quantification of mechanochemically generated free radicals of lignin were evaluated after the extraction of lignin from olive seeds and detailed lignin characterization was performed. Lignin was extracted from crushed olive seeds as an insoluble solid using Klason method. Isolated lignin was mechanochemically grinded under cryo conditions using Cryomill and particlesizes were determined by using Zeta Sizer, structural changes were followed by XRD and FTIR-ATR; thermal stabilities were tracked by TGA and DSC. In order to enable solubility demanding studies (such as 1H-NMR and GPC), acylation of lignin was accomplished. ESR measurements were completed to prove …
