The depolymerization process of wheat straw alkali lignin in sub- and supercritical ethanol was investigated with a micro autoclave reactor. The degraded product properties and the depolymerization mechanism of lignin structure were studied by SEM (SEM), gas chromatog./mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and IR spectroscopy (FT-IR). The exptl. results showed that the min. residual char yield (16.5%) was obtained at the condition of ethanol supercritical point (240°C, 7.2 MPa). Under subcritical ethanol conditions, alkali lignin firstly melted and dispersed in ethanol as 1.0-2.0 μm diameter of microspheres, then a small amount of ether linkages and benzene ring side chain Cα were broken to form phenols, esters, ketones and acids products. Under supercritical ethanol conditions, the diameter of molten microsphere was significantly reduced, and plenty of ether linkages and benzene ring side chain Cα were continuously broken, meanwhile, the lipid products were subjected to secondary decomposition reaction. The yield of lipid was decreased (11.94%), while the yield of phenolic products from depolymerization was increased (52.14%). In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Dimethyl decanedioate (cas: 106-79-6Safety of Dimethyl decanedioate).
Dimethyl decanedioate (cas: 106-79-6) belongs to esters. Volatile esters with characteristic odours are used in synthetic flavours, perfumes, and cosmetics. Certain volatile esters are used as solvents for lacquers, paints, and varnishes. Many esters have the potential for conformational isomerism, but they tend to adopt an s-cis (or Z) conformation rather than the s-trans (or E) alternative, due to a combination of hyperconjugation and dipole minimization effects. The preference for the Z conformation is influenced by the nature of the substituents and solvent, if present. Lactones with small rings are restricted to the s-trans (i.e. E) conformation due to their cyclic structure.Safety of Dimethyl decanedioate
