The Hydrothermal Carbonization is one possibility to concentrate energy of wet biomass in so called hydrochar. To design technical HTC-reactors in a rational way, the reaction kinetics of the four main components of biomass – Carbohydrates, lignin, fats/oils and proteins – should be known. In a previous work, the HTC of cellulose was published [1]. Furthermore, the kinetic of change of the hydrochar plays an important role. The focus of this paper is on lignin which is a highly complex macromolecule. Therefore, one of its building units and even intermediate of the HTC of lignin– vanillin – is used as a model component [2]. To determine the kinetics of hydrochar functionalization, initially a meaningful analytical method must be developed. In the presented experiments, the hydrochar obtained by hydrothermal carbonization of vanillin is investigated by Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transformed Spectroscopy (DRIFTS). To assign the IR-bands in the DRIFT-spectra to different functional groups, Temperature Programed Desorption-experiments (TPD) were conducted. Afterwards a combination of DRIFTS and TPD was performed. The result of this TPD/DRIFTS-combination is used as an analytical method to investigate kinetics of hydrochar functionalization during the HTC.
