Of the many physical and chemical procedures thus far applied to enhance lignocellulose reactivity (1), fine grinding appears to offer the most direct response to both lignin and crystallinity. When the grinding is done in a vibratory ball mill, particle size can be reduced to micron dimensions, with attendant expansion of external surface area, and crystallinity can be essentially eliminated (2). This combination of events markedly influences carbohydrate accessibility and, hence, the degree of response of a milled lignocellulosic material to chemical, enzymatic, and microbiological attack.

Dilute Acid Hydrolysis. Data relative to the acid saccharification of the four substrates at various levels of vibratory ball milling are given in Table III and plotted as rate and yield curves in Figures 7 and 8. Table IV summarizes the half-life and maximum sugar yield values derived from these curves.

Sufficient heat transfer is achieved through good sample contact with the heating element of the pyrolyzer. Thus, a lignin is preferably dissolved and applied directly to the surface of the heating element. When the sample is insoluble, its shape and particle size become important parameters. To obtain reproducible results, wood samples should be homogenized in a vibratory ball mill and subsequently dried completely. 

Lignin. Milled-wood lignin (MWL) from loblolly pine was obtained by 95% dioxane/water extraction of extractive-free vibratory ball-milled wood. The yield was about 20% based on the lignin in the wood.
