UV-spectrophotometry dataset of technical lignin in solution after aging and looped measurements.

ABSTRACT: This article provides UV-spectrophotometry data of technical lignin samples in solutions, which were acquired after ambient aging for up to 110 days or looped measurements on fresh solutions. UV-spectrophotometry of lignin is a useful technique, as it can a) quantify the concentration and purity of lignin in a given sample, b) determine the abundance of phenolic hydroxyl groups, and c) yield qualitative information about chemical modification of the lignin macromolecule. In addition, the technique is rapid and easy to use. Still, solutions of lignin are known to be unstable; in particular at high pH or in presence of UV-light. The data in this article may hence serve as guide in the experimental conduct and design, as it shows the reproducibility of UV-spectrophotometry measurements of lig
