Structural analysis of acetylated hardwood lignins and their photoyellowing properties
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Lignin was isolated from aspen bleached chemithermomechanical pulp by employing a mild acid hydrolysis procedure, and the extracted material was acetylated with acetic anhydride. Nuclear magnetic resonance analyses indicated that the relative ease of acetylating lignin hydroxyl groups was phenolic >> γ-side chain > α-side chain. Non-acetylated and acetylated lignins were impregnated onto cellulosic test sheets, and the photo-behavior of the lignins was examined under irradiation with two light sources, a fluorescent lamp and a black lamp. Optical reflective studies indicated acetylation efficiently inhibited the photodiscoloration of aspen bleached chemithermomechanical pulp lignin under visible and near-UV light irradiation. The photostability of the lignin was correlated to the extent of lignin acetylation. The observed photo-stabilization of acetylated lignin during light irradiation was attributed to the acetylation of phenoxy and aliphatic hydroxyl groups in lignin.Key words: green chemistry, hardwood lignin, acetylation, photo-stabilization, photoyellowing, NMR.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
