  • 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.

  • Kraft and Soda Pulping of White Rot Pretreated Betung Bamboo
    Kraft and Soda Pulping of White Rot Pretreated Betung Bamboo Widya Fatriasari, Riksfardini A Ermawar, Faizatul Falah, Dede HY Yanto, Deddy TN Adi, Sita H Anita, Euis Hermiati R&D Unit for Biomaterials, Indonesian Institute of Sciences Jl. Raya Bogor KM 46 Cibinong 16911. Corresponding author: [email protected] (Widya Fatriasari) Abstract This research was conducted to study the effects of pre-treatment with white-rot fungi on pulp properties of betung bamboo. Inoculum stocks of white-rot fungi (25 ml) were injected into polybags contained barkless fresh bamboo chips. Each polybag contained 214.9–286.8 g oven dry weight of chips. Bamboo chips in the polybags were inoculated by Pleurotus ostreatus and Trametes versicolor. Both of them were then incubated for 30 and 45 days at room temperature. Bamboo chips were cooked using soda and Kraft processes. The cooked bamboo chips were then defiberize using disc refiner for 3 times. Pulp yield, kappa number and degree of freeness of the pulp were then analyzed. The treatment of two white rot fungi, gave different effects on the characteristic of betung bamboo pulp. The effects of fungi treatment on kappa number and degree of freeness can be seen only at samples cooked using kraft process. Incubation time did not affect pulp yield of bamboo treated with both fungi, but it affected kappa number and degree of freeness of bamboo pulp cooked using kraft process. Bamboo treated with T. versicolor incubated for 45 days and cooked using kraft process produced the best pulp quality with high pulp yield. Key words: betung bamboo, biopulping, degree of freeness, kappa number, pulp yield.

  • Making Paper from Trees
    Making Paper from Trees Forest Service U.S. Department of Agriculture FS-2 MAKING PAPER FROM TREES Paper has been a key factor in the progress of civilization, especially during the past 100 years. Paper is indispensable in our daily life for many purposes. It conveys a fantastic variety and volume of messages and information of all kinds via its use in printing and writing-personal and business letters, newspapers, pamphlets, posters, magazines, mail order catalogs, telephone directories, comic books, school books, novels, etc. It is difficult to imagine the modern world without paper. Paper is used to wrap packages. It is also used to make containers for shipping goods ranging from food and drugs to clothing and machinery. We use it as wrappers or containers for milk, ice cream, bread, butter, meat, fruits, cereals, vegetables, potato chips, and candy; to carry our food and department store purchases home in; for paper towels, cellophane, paper handkerchiefs and sanitary tissues; for our notebooks, coloring books, blotting paper, memo pads, holiday greeting and other “special occasion’’ cards, playing cards, library index cards; for the toy hats, crepe paper decorations, paper napkins, paper cups, plates, spoons, and forks for our parties. Paper is used in building our homes and schools-in the form of roofing paper, and as paperboard- heavy, compressed product made from wood pulp-which is used for walls and partitions, and in such products as furniture. Paper is also used in linerboard, “cardboard,” and similar containers. Wood pulp is the principal fibrous raw material from which paper is made, and over half of the wood cut in this country winds up in some form of paper products.

  • The Method of Making Models from Sheets of Blotting Paper
    THE METHOD OF MAKING MODELS FROM SI-IEETS OF BLOTTING PAPER. BY SUSANNA PHELPS GAGE. Ithaca, New York. The Born Method of reconstructing models from wax plates is in use in all the larger laboratories of Anatomy and Embryology. Various modifications of that method have been introduced, notably at Johns IIopkins University. For smaller laboratories and isolated investigators the wax plates are difficult to prepare or to obtain already made. More- over, in the larger laboratories ihe preparation of the plates is a much dreaded piece of drudgery to be done in the basement. The apparatus is cumbersome and if at all accurate, expensive. Like any other ap- paratus it requires some skill to use it with success. Any one who has either cast or rolled wax plates will not need a statement of the inconveniences. In 1905, it occurred to me that sheets of blotting paper might serve instead of wax plates. A small model was at once made which showed its feasibility. Models made of this material were demonstrated at thc Association of American Anatomists in December, 1905, ( Amer. Jour. Anat. V., 1905-06, p. XXIII) and the method was further demonstrated at the International Zoological Congress held in Boston, August, 1907'. It has also been used successfully in the embryologic and anatomic laboratories of Cornell University and the University of West Virginia. Blotting paper models were demonstrated by Dr. J. H. Hathaway and by Dr. J. B. Johnston at the Association of American Anatomists held in New York, 1906 (Proc. Assoc. Amer. Anatomists, Anat. Record, April 1, 1907,).

  • Lignin As a Source of Phenolic Compounds: from Lignin Extraction to Its Transformation by Different Routes
    Lignin as a source of phenolic compounds: from lignin extraction to its transformation by different routes A dissertation presented by Javier Fernández Rodríguez In Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in Renewable Materials Engineering by the University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU Under the supervision of Dr. Jalel Labidi Dr. María González Alriols Chemical and Environmental Engineering Department Engineering School of Gipuzkoa Donostia-San Sebastián 2020 (c)2020 JAVIER FERNANDEZ RODRIGUEZ “Dalli qui nu canta, verdi qui nu livanta” II Summary In the last decades, considerable interest has been put in using lignocellulosic streams, which have been traditionally considered as wastes, to be converted into value-added products, such as fuel, chemicals and biomaterials, which are currently obtained from fossil sources. Lignin, the most plenty polymer as an aromatic source in nature has been traditionally considered as a by-product or side stream from pulp and paper process, although lignin commercialization as a source of phenolic compounds has gained more and more relevance lately. However, several drawbacks have to be still overcome, such as the high polydispersity and high content in impurities of the obtained lignin samples, which lead to generate a recalcitrant behavior that hinders its transformation processes into high value- added chemical compounds. Lignin-based products must be competitive with their petroleum-derived counterparts. Hence, it is very important to design energetically efficient processes for lignin extraction and purification. For this purpose, lignin-based products have to be assumed as a section of an integrated biorefinery where multiple products are obtained and in this line being able to compete in a realistic scenario.

  • The Exciting History of Carbon Paper!
    The Exciting History of Carbon Paper! What Is It? Carbon paper is thin paper coated with a mixture of wax and pigment, that is used between two sheets of ordinary paper to make one or more copies of an original document. When Was It Invented And Why? The exact origin of carbon paper is somewhat uncertain. The first documented use of the term "carbonated paper" was in 1806, when an Englishman, named Ralph Wedgwood, issued a patent for his "Stylographic Writer." However, Pellegrino Turri had invented a typewriting machine in Italy by at least 1808, and since "black paper" was essential for the operation of his machine, he must have perfected his form of carbon paper at virtually the same time as Wedgwood, if not before (Adler, 1973). Interestingly, both men invented their "carbon paper" as a means to an end; they were both trying to help blind people write through the use of a machine, and the "black paper" was really just a substitute for ink. In its original form Wedgwood's "Stylographic Writer" was intended to help the blind write through the use of a metal stylus instead of a quill. A piece of paper soaked in printer's ink and dried, was then placed between two sheets of writing paper in order to transfer a copy onto the bottom sheet. Horizontal metal wires on the writing-board acted as feeler-guides for the stylus and presumably helped the blind to write. [Although invented in 1803, the steel pen only became common around the middle of the nineteenth century; the quill was still in use at the end of the century, and remained the symbol of the handwriting age.
