Basics of Kraft Pulping
Lignin Wood is composed of many chemical components, primarily extractives, carbohydrates, and lignin, which are distributed nonuniformly as the result of anatomical structure. Lignin is derived from the Latin term lignum, which means wood.1 Anselme Payen (1838) was the first to recognize the composite nature of wood and referred to a carbon- rich substance as the “encrusting material” which embedded cellulose in the wood. Schulze (1865) later defined this encrusting material as lignin. Lignin has been described as a random, three-dimensional network polymer comprised of variously linked phenylpropane units.2 Lignin is the second most abundant biological material on the planet, exceeded only by cellulose and hemicellulose, and comprises 15-25% of the dry weight of woody plants. This macromolecule plays a vital role in providing mechanical support to bind plant fibers together. Lignin also decreases the permeation of water through the cell walls of the xylem, thereby playing an intricate role in the transport of water and nutrients. Finally, lignin plays an important function in a plant’s natural defense against degradation by impeding penetration of destructive enzymes through the cell wall. Although lignin is necessary to trees, it is undesirable in most chemical papermaking fibers and is removed by pulping and bleaching processes. 1.1.1 Biosynthesis Plant lignins can be broadly divided into three classes: softwood (gymnosperm), hardwood (angiosperm) and grass or annual plant (graminaceous) lignin.3 Three different phenylpropane units, or monolignols, are responsible for lignin biosynthesis.4 Guaiacyl lignin is composed principally of coniferyl alcohol units, while guaiacyl-syringyl lignin contains monomeric units from coniferyl and sinapyl alcohol. -

THE USE OF OLD CORRUGATED BOARD IN THE MANUFACTURE OF HIGH QUALITY WHITE PAPERS by Rene' H. Kapik A Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the course requirements for The Bachelor of Science Degree Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, Michigan December, 1983 ABSTRACT Clean corrugated board waste was fractionated into its softwood/ hardwood fiber components, repulped using a kraft pulping process, and bleached using a CEHD bleaching sequence in an effort to produce high brightness fiber suitable for use in medium to high quality white paper. The papers produced had almost equivalent mechanical strengths and opacity, but possessed unsatisfactory brightness and cleanliness when compared to commercially manufactured,:. bleached kraft pulps of identical softwood/hardwood contents. Based on this experimental data, the use of recycled fiber from corrugated board as a fiber substitute in the manufacture of high quality printing and writing papers is not recommended due to its inferior brightness and cleanliness. -
Paper, Paperboard and Wood Pulp Markets, 2010-2011 Chapter 8
UNECE/FAO Forest Products Annual Market Review, 2010-2011 __________________________________________________________ 71 8 Paper, paperboard and woodpulp markets, 2010-2011 Lead Author, Peter Ince Contributing Authors, Eduard Akim, Bernard Lombard, Tomas Parik and Anastasia Tolmatsova Highlights • Paper and paperboard output rebounded along with overall industrial production in both Europe and the United States, but has not yet fully recovered to the peak levels of 2007-2008. • Generally more robust market conditions prevailed from 2010 to early 2011, with higher consumption and prices for most pulp, paper and paperboard commodities. • Prices reached a plateau by late 2010 and may have peaked in a cycle that began with rebound from the global financial crisis of 2008-2009; but prices still remained high in early 2011. • The Russian Federation is seeing an almost complete recovery of pulp and paper output to the levels that preceded the global financial crisis of 2008-2009. • European pulp, paper and paperboard output rebounded in 2010 after declining in 2008-2009, but the production levels before the crisis have not yet been reached. • Similarly, US production of pulp, paper and paperboard all rebounded from the sharp declines of 2008-2009, but production levels in 2010-2011 remained below previous cyclical peak levels. • A major project to expand use of larch was initiated in the Russian Federation, while wood pellet output and wood energy use also expanded in the Russian pulp and paper industry. • The market rebound coincides with expanding industry interest in the contributions of paper and paperboard products to green and sustainable development. • Green and sustainable product features such as use of renewable resources and product recyclability help support sustainability initiatives and an evolving symbiotic relationship between pulp and paper market development and the green economy. -
Holmen Paper Magazine Study
THE FUTURE OF MAGAZINES MARKET STUDY BY HOLMEN PAPER With the past decades’ rapid digital evolution, print media in almost all forms has taken a step back. As a company selling printing paper, Holmen Paper has observed and experienced this decline first hand. Newspapers was the first segment that suffered a rapid decrease in readers and is, as a result, no longer the largest end-use segment for graphical paper. Instead magazines now hold that position. Hence the future of the magazine market is crucial to the future of graphical paper. This is why we decided to conduct this study, where we look at how publishers meet the new challenges, how pricing is affected and how the readers demands are changing. TABLE OF CONTENTS MARKET SELLING PRICE 3 OVERVIEW 13 VS ADVERTISING How is the magazine market developing? What sets the price of a magazine? SHIFT IN MILLENNIALS’ BUSINESS READING 7 MODELS 16 HABITS Are the publishers’ changes radical enough? What does this group want in a printed magazine? Understanding where the magazine market is heading, helps you to gain insights and make sound future business decisions. This study therefore starts by looking at the current state of the magazine market, including historic developments as well as forecasted development. It then proceeds to look at the market from a publisher’s perspective, based on qualitative interviews with European publishers. The outcome is an extensive summary of the challenges that many publishers are experiencing, but also how they adapt their business models to to overcome them. The study also includes a thorough analysis of a large number of consumer magazines, where attributes such as price versus advertising density are investigated. -

Tall Oil Production and Processing
TALL OIL PRODUCTION AND PROCESSING Tall oil is a mixture of mainly acidic compounds found, like turpentine, in pine trees and obtained as a by-product of the pulp and paper industry. It is used as a resin in many different industries, including mining, paper manufacture, paint manufacture and synthetic rubber manufacture. It is extracted at the pulp and paper mill, and undergoes the first two processing steps there. Step 1 - Extraction of tall oil soap The "black liquor" from the paper making process is concentrated and left to settle. The top layer is known as "tall oil soap", and is skimmed off. The rest is recycled for further use in paper making. Step2 - Production of crude tall oil The tall oil soap is reacted with acid to form crude tall oil. The following reaction occurs: + + R—COONa + H3O → R—COOH + H2O + Na The acids formed from this reaction, along with small quantities of other compounds of similar volatility, make up the crude tall oil. All crude tall oil produced in New Zealand is then sent to a plant in Mt. Maunganui to complete processing. Step 3 - Crude tall oil distillation The oil is distilled into five components with different boiling points: heads (which boils first), then fatty acids, distilled tall oil (a mixture of fatty and resin acids), resin acids (collectively known as rosin) and pitch (the residue). All of these can be used in various industries as is, but some of the rosin is also further processed on site. Step 4 - Production of rosin paper size "Paper size" is the substance that stops all paper from behaving like blotting paper. -
