Chen, Huan published the artcileBurn Intensity Drives the Alteration of Phenolic Lignin to (Poly) Aromatic Hydrocarbons as Revealed by Pyrolysis Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (Py-GC/MS), Synthetic Route of 91-15-6, the main research area is phenolic lignin polyaromatic hydrocarbon PyGC MS; alkyl side chain; black carbon/nitrogen; forest fuel reduction; prescribed fire; wildfire.
High-intensity wildfires alter the chem. composition of organic matter, which is expected to be distinctly different from low-intensity prescribed fires. Herein, we used pyrolysis gas chromatog./mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS), in conjunction with solid-state 13C NMR and Fourier transform IR (FT-IR) spectroscopy, to assess chem. alterations from three wildfires and a long-term frequent prescribed fire site. Our results showed that black ash formed under moderate intensity burns contained less aromatic (ArH), polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), and nitrogen-containing compounds (Ntg) but more lignin (LgC) and phenol compounds (PhC), compared to white ash formed under high intensity burns. Both 13C NMR and FT-IR confirmed a higher relative percentage of carboxyl carbon in white ash, indicating the potential for higher water solubility and more mobile carbon, relative to black ash. Compared to wildfires, ash from low-intensity prescribed fire contained less ArH, PAH, and Ntg and more LgC and PhC. Controlled laboratory burning trials indicated that organic matter alteration was sensitive to the burn temperature, but not related to the fuel type (pine vs. fir) nor oxygen absence/presence at high burn temperatures This study concludes that higher burn temperatures resulted in higher (poly)aromatic carbon/nitrogen and lower lignin/phenol compounds
