RESULT AND DISCUSSION

This graph is showing that the pyrolitic lignin was analyzed by relative molecular size
distribution (RID). This experiment was the second step of hydrotreating , there was various
variables in this experiment, such as temperature and exposure time. The experiment was
done by 5 treatments which were the initial state of pyrolytic lignin, PL stabilized 300oC with
2 hours of exposure time, PL (375oC, 2 hours), PL (400oC, 4 hours), and PL (400oC, 4 hours).
The initial state of pyrolytic lignin showed by the stright line, it meant that there was no
special treatment. According to the graph, pyrolyitic lignin when in the initial state had
increasing point, it had decreasing point as long as the molar mass was more used. It
concluded that the more value of relative molecular size distribution, the less molar mass is
required. Mostly value of the treatment pyrolytic lignin was less than the initial state

This graph is showing that the pyrolyitc lignin was analyzed by relative molecular
size distribution UV spectrometry. There was also various variables of temperature and
exposure time, this experiment was similar to the experiment before, but this experiment was
analyzed by UV spectrometry. According to the graph, the initial state of pyrolytic lignin had
bigger value rather than the treatment itself and there was a big gap between initial state and
special treatment of pyrolytic lignin. It concluded that initial state of pyrolytic lignin had
bigger value of UV intensity compared to the treatment ones.
 This graph is showing that the pyrolytic lignin was analyzed by UV-fluoresence
spectra at a constant energy of -2800 cm-1. Similar to the experiement before, there was
various variables of temperature and exposure time. The initial state of pyrolytic lignin in this
experiment had increasing point from wavelength at 275nm until almost 350nm but then had
decreasing point started at 350nm. Mostly the values of pyrolytic lignin treatments were
smaller rather than the initial state ones.
