The pine wood degradation under ozonation was studied. It was determined the contents of lignin (LG) and cellulose (CL) in cellulose-containing material (CM) obtained from the ozonized wood. The degree of polymerization (DP) of cellulose from CM was determined. Samples of CM were investigated using IR diffuse reflectance (DRIFT) spectra and XRD analysis. HPLC analysis of water-soluble LG ozonolysis products was conducted.
Ozonation results in 40–42% delignification degree of wood. Aromatics destruction is confirmed by DRIFT spectra. The intensity of stretching band at 1736 cm-1 of unconjugated C=O groups in LG or hemicelluloses markedly increases.
A stoichiometric ratio of absorbed ozone and an amount of destructed guaiacylpropane units as well as a composition of water-soluble products show that ozonolysis is a primary mechanism of aromatics degradation in wood.
The data on XRD analysis, the amounts of removed LG and the change of cellulose DP allow conclusion that the wood ozonation is accompanied by a destruction of hemicelluloses and amorphous cellulose in the wood.
It is shown that the specific ozone uptake £1.5 mmol O3/g matches the domination of the wood delignification with the lowest degradation of cellulose fibers and acceptable efficiency in terms of the ozonation process.
