Lignin solubility increased with increasing temperature from 50°C to 100°C. The average molecular weight (Mw) of PyAce treated and recovered kraft lignin after thermal treatment with PyAce decreased from 4119 g mol-1 to 1995 g mol-1 within the temperature range of 50°C-75°C. A significant increase in molecular weight for PyAce treated lignin was observed as the process temperature was further increased from 75°C to 100°C. Results indicated that the condensation reactions occurred at elevated temperatures resulting in increased molecular weight during the dissolution process. © 2016 The Authors. date: 2016 publisher: Elsevier Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85014043105&doi=10.1016%2fj.proeng.2016.06.599&partnerID=40&md5=98c651934f9d229cc0de6c4a13daa58a id_number: 10.1016/j.proeng.2016.06.599 full_text_status: none publication: Procedia Engineering volume: 148 pagerange: 1363-1368 refereed: TRUE issn: 18777058 citation: Rashid, T. and Kait, C.F. and Murugesan, T.
