Lignosulfonates are industrial biorefinery products that are characterized by significant variability and heterogeneity in their structural composition. Typically, they exhibit high dispersities in molar mass (molar mass distribution-MMD) and in functionalities (functionality-type distribution - FTD), which crucially affect their material usage. In terms of FTD, state-of-the-art Lignin analytics still rely mainly on the determination of functional group contents, which are statistical averages with limited explanatory power. In contrast, our online hydrophobic interaction chromatography−size-exclusion chromatography 2D-LC approach combines the determination of both MMD and FTD in a single measurement to provide a comprehensive picture of the characteristic composition of industrial lignosulfonates information hitherto inaccessible by state-of-the-art lignin analytics. In this way, the complex inter - relationships between these two important structural parameters can be studied in an unprecedented manner. In this study, we reveal the considerable differences in terms of hydrophobic composition and its dispersity present in a range of different industrial lignosulfonates - data desperately needed in tailoring and refining of lignosulfonate composition for material usage.
