Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis as a promising method for the utilization of technical lignins

Abstract

The self-propagating high-temperature synthesis method has been used for technical lignin utilization after long-term storage under atmosphere conditions. For the first time a new allotropic form of carbon, carbonized lignin, has been obtained and analyzed. It has been shown that, in terms of its parameters (dispersity, surface groups), the carbonized lignin is a suitable alternative to conventional brands of technical carbon in resin compounds.
