Summary Lignincarbohydrate complexes (LCC) of poplar wood obtained by sulfate pulping and containing lignin in amounts of 0.9–8.3% have been studied by X-ray diffractometry. Heterogeneous hydrolysis methods have been used to determine their reactivity. The content of the crystalline fraction in LCC depends on the lignin removal and increases with the decrease of the lignin content. The degree of crystallinity of cellulose in sawdust and in LCC is fairly high and changes slightly with the lignin removal. The presence of lignin plays a blocking role in the heterogeneous hydrolysis and decreases the rate constant. It is suggested that lignin is bonded to cellulose on the outer surfaces of the crystalline part of the cellulose fibril. Some possible variants of these bonds are discussed.
