木质素的化学结构和利用

木质素是植物界里仅次于纤维素的第二种丰富的有机资源。现在对木质素的基本结构单元、官能团和结构单元之间的键型已经有了基本的了解,但在分析数据和其他方面尚存在不少问题。当前,木质素真正达到工业利用的还为数不多,基本上尚处于探索阶段,但从目前研究的情况看,展示了木质素必将成为极有价值的天然高聚物。

Chemical Structure and Utilization of Lignin

Lignin is the second abundant organic resource only to cellulose in plants. Monomers, functional groups and various bond types existing in lignin have basically been known now, but the analytic data and other problems will be required to take further research. At present, a great quantity of lignin extracted by pulling industry has not been fully utilized, but it is an important problem which will have been exploring with great efforts. Resent investigations have shown that industrial lignin would become most valuable high polymer material.
