Lignin and humins are both (by-)products of biorefining processes aimed at the valorization of lignocellulosic biomass. In order to improve the efficiency of such biorefineries and to develop new valorization pathways for these polymeric materials, detailed insight into their complex chemical structure and functional group distribution is required. Here, we report on the quantification and classification of the ketone and aldehyde carbonyl functional groups contained in these two polymers by F-19 NMR The known method of carbonyl derivatization with 4-trifluoromethyl)phenylhydrazine to the corresponding hydra zone has been improved and simplified, allowing derivatization directly in an NMR tube, requiring no additional workup before quantification by F-19 NMR. Furthermore, the scope of the method was assessed and expanded, with model compound studies, which included monomeric and dimeric compounds as well as synthetic polymers, showing that the carbonyl functions can indeed be reproducibly quantified. Using this model compound library, the carbonyl functional groups in two technical lignins (Indulin Kraft and Alcell) and, for the first time, an industrial humin could be quantified and classified. The industrial humin was found to contain 6.6 wt % of carbonyl functions, with aliphatic and conjugated carbonyls being detected. The relatively high abundance of such functional groups, which are amenable to further chemical modification, provides opportunities for the use of these humin byproducts in various applications, e.g., as materials after derivatization.
