Abstract

Abstract Cross polarization, magic-angle spinning, interrupted decoupling and paramagnetic doping techniques have been combined to provide the sensitivity needed for detection of chemical functional groups involved in pulp bleaching reactions. Cold soda pulp and stone groundwood pulp were bleached by calcium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide respectively. These treatments had little effect on ketonic structures and no effect on etherified aryl units, but hypochlorite degraded most lignin units not linked in beta-0–4 ethers. This work provides direct confirmation of published predictions based on bleaching of model compounds in solution.
