Abstract(s)
The thermal decomposition of cork has been studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and 13C
solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy with cross-polarization and magic-angle spinning
(CP-MAS), high-power ‘H decoupling (HPDEC) and cross-polarization depolarization-polarization (CPDP). Waxes
and other soluble components of cork begin to decompose at ca. 150°C. This is accompanied by partial decomposi tion of suberin, probably initiated at the points of attachment to the cell wall. The carbohydrates begin to decompose
at ca. 200°C. The decomposition of lignin begins at 250-3OO”C, while suberin undergoes further degradation.
Significant amounts of coke are formed in the process. At 400°C cork has been transformed into coke with traces of
partially decomposed suberin. The thermal decomposition of cork is dependent on the calcination time, particularly
in the 200-350°C range.
