摘要
The present paper covers the extraction of hemicelluloses from woods, i.e., Eucalyptus Globulus, white fir and Douglas fir via green liquor pretreatment and alkali post-treatment with sodium hydroxide. The effects of such extraction conditions as extraction time, temperature on the yields of hemicellulose and the degree of deliginification were investigated. Sugar analyses using Dionex indicate that xylose, glucose and mannose are the main sugar types present in the hemicellulose from Eucalyptus. Other sugar components such as arabinose and galactose were also found in Dogulas fir hemicellulose. The highest yield of hemicellulose was 8.4% for Eucalyptus extracted with green liquor at 130 ℃ for 3.5 h. Further sodium hydroxide extraction for 5 h gave a hemicellulose yield of about 20%. The use of green liquor for the extraction of wood hemicellulose is believed to be the first attempt.
