This paper presents the synthesis and characterization of cationic hemicelluloses based on reuse of corn stover. Initially it was made the characterization of corn stover determining the ash content, Klason lignin insoluble and soluble, hemicelluloses and cellulose. The synthesis of cationic hemicelluloses derived from stover corn was made by the reaction of the hemicelluloses with 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride (ETA) in aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide and in dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) with catalytic amounts of sodium hydroxide. The characterizations of cationic derivatives were made by elemental analysis, TGA, RMN and X-rays. The cationic derivatives obtained in aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide showed a higher degree of substitution (DS) and higher thermal stability. The concentration increasing of ETA in the reaction resulted in low DS. The quaternization of hemicelluloses using water as solvent gave the highest yield when compared to the synthesis using DMSO. In the NMR spectra in aqueous solution was observed, beyond the signal around d 54.3 ppm, related to the connection methyl N-((CH3)3N +), the signal around d 68.3 ppm, relating to N-methylene link (CH2-N +). It is observed signals at 54.2 ppm and d 68.2 ppm for the first derivative, d 54.2 ppm and 68.3 ppm for the second derivative, d 54.3 ppm and d 68.1 ppm and d 54.2 derivative 3 ppm and d 68.3 ppm for the derivative 4, indicating the occurrence of the chemical reaction. The derivatives showed lower thermal stability compared to natural hemicelluloses.
