  • The Miracle Resource Eco-Link
    Since 1989 Eco-Link Linking Social, Economic, and Ecological Issues The Miracle Resource Volume 14, Number 1 In the children’s book “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein the main character is shown to beneÞ t in several ways from the generosity of one tree. The tree is a source of recreation, commodities, and solace. In this parable of giving, one is impressed by the wealth that a simple tree has to offer people: shade, food, lumber, comfort. And if we look beyond the wealth of a single tree to the benefits that we derive from entire forests one cannot help but be impressed by the bounty unmatched by any other natural resource in the world. That’s why trees are called the miracle resource. The forest is a factory where trees manufacture wood using energy from the sun, water and nutrients from the soil, and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In healthy growing forests, trees produce pure oxygen for us to breathe. Forests also provide clean air and water, wildlife habitat, and recreation opportunities to renew our spirits. Forests, trees, and wood have always been essential to civilization. In ancient Mesopotamia (now Iraq), the value of wood was equal to that of precious gems, stones, and metals. In Mycenaean Greece, wood was used to feed the great bronze furnaces that forged Greek culture. Rome’s monetary system was based on silver which required huge quantities of wood to convert ore into metal. For thousands of years, wood has been used for weapons and ships of war. Nations rose and fell based on their use and misuse of the forest resource.

  • A Review of Wood Biomass-Based Fatty Acidsand Rosin Acids Use In
    polymers Review A Review of Wood Biomass-Based Fatty Acids and Rosin Acids Use in Polymeric Materials Laima Vevere *, Anda Fridrihsone , Mikelis Kirpluks and Ugis Cabulis Polymer Department, Latvian State Institute of Wood Chemistry, 27 Dzerbenes Str., LV-1006 Riga, Latvia; [email protected] (A.F.); [email protected] (M.K.); [email protected] (U.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +371-28869638 Received: 26 October 2020; Accepted: 14 November 2020; Published: 16 November 2020 Abstract: In recent decades, vegetable oils as a potential replacement for petrochemical materials have been extensively studied. Tall oil (crude tall oil, distilled tall oil, tall oil fatty acids, and rosin acids) is a good source to be turned into polymeric materials. Unlike vegetable oils, tall oil is considered as lignocellulosic plant biomass waste and is considered to be the second-generation raw material, thus it is not competing with the food and feed chain. The main purpose of this review article is to identify in what kind of polymeric materials wood biomass-based fatty acids and rosin acids have been applied and their impact on the properties. Keywords: crude tall oil; tall oil; fatty acids; rosin acids; polymer materials 1. Introduction The success of plastics as a commodity has been significant and polymer materials are a part of everyday life. The advantages of polymers over other materials can be attributed to their adjustable properties, low cost and ease of processing. Worldwide, the manufacturing of polymers grows every year, reaching almost 360 million tonnes in 2018 [1]. In the light of environmental challenges of the 21st century, the development of novel low-cost and scalable monomers from renewable resources is essential.

  • 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.

  • Crude Tall Oil Low ILUC Risk Assessment Comparing Global Supply and Demand
    Crude tall oil low ILUC risk assessment Comparing global supply and demand Crude tall oil low ILUC risk assessment Comparing global supply and demand By: Daan Peters, Viktorija Stojcheva Date: 24 April 2017 Project number: SISNL17494 © Ecofys 2017 by order of: UPM ECOFYS Netherlands B.V. | Kanaalweg 15G | 3526 KL Utrecht| T +31 (0)30 662-3300 | F +31 (0)30 662-3301 | E [email protected] | I www.ecofys.com Chamber of Commerce 30161191 Executive Summary UPM produces renewable diesel and naphtha from crude tall oil (CTO) in its biorefinery in Lappeenranta, Finland from early 2015 onwards. Because the company wanted clarity on the status and sustainability of its feedstock, UPM asked Ecofys in 2013 to assess whether CTO can be regarded as a residue and whether the feedstock would be low ILUC risk, meaning its use for biofuels would not lead to displace- ment effects of existing other uses. The current report is an updated version of the 2013 report. An important change since the previous report is that biofuel production at UPM has started, so any effects of CTO usage for biofuels has on the CTO market would be visible. Ecofys studies the following questions in this report: 1. Can CTO be defined as a residue based on biofuel legislation 2. Does the feedstock create an additional demand for land (is it a low ILUC risk feed stock?) 3. Does the use of the feedstock for biofuel production cause significant distortive effects on markets? The second and third question are closely interlinked. CTO in itself is a non-land using feedstock.

  • EU Oleochemical, Resins and Fermentation Industry Joint Statement on the Renewable Energy Directive II
    European Fermentation Group (EFG) EU oleochemical, resins and fermentation industry joint statement on the Renewable Energy Directive II The European Oleochemical Industry and Allied Products (APAG), the Hydrocarbon Resins, Rosin Resins and Pine Chemicals Producers Association (HARRPA) and the European Fermentation Group (EFG) support the Commission’s drive for an ambitious Renewable Energy Directive II (RED II) aimed at helping deliver the Paris climate agreement while promoting a bio-based circular economy. To reach these objectives, we believe that the RED II should recognise the role of bio-based products in achieving climate change and circular economy objectives. We use renewable raw materials - such as rendered animal fats, crude tall oil, and molasses - for the production of high-performance and sustainable bio-based products. By integrating renewable raw materials into valuable products, we contribute to a circular economy and to the transition to a low-carbon economy at the same time. The current Renewable Energy Directive I (RED I) provides incentives for energy (biofuels and bioenergy) uses of biomass at the expense of material uses, often resulting in increased prices and lower availability of renewable feedstock for the chemical industry. This situation prevents our sectors from having fair access to renewable feedstock and challenges the economic viability of our industries, putting at risk thousands of jobs and the opportunity to have a strong EU-based bioeconomy.1 OUR REQUEST APAG, EFG and HARRPA call for the creation of a level playing field between alternative uses of biomass. This requires the removal of market distorting provisions that favour the production of bioenergy and biofuels over the production of bio-based chemicals.

  • Tall Oil Fatty Acids Review of Dermal Sensitization Hazard
    Prepared for Kraton Polymers LLC Savannah, Georgia Prepared by Ramboll Environ US Corporation Phoenix, Arizona and Irvine, California Project Number 0442160A Date September 2017 TALL OIL FATTY ACIDS REVIEW OF DERMAL SENSITIZATION HAZARD PREPARED BY Greg Sower, PhD Managing Consultant and Toxicologist David K. Liu, PhD Principal and Chemist EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ramboll Environ US Corporation (Ramboll Environ), on behalf of Kraton Polymers LLC (Kraton), independently and critically evaluated information related to the dermal sensitization potential of tall oil fatty acids (TOFA; Chemical Abstracts Services Registry Number 61790-12-3). TOFA is a substance of variable composition consisting predominantly of oleic and linoleic acids, with minor amounts of other fatty acids and unsaponifiable matter.1 TOFA is obtained by distilling crude tall oil (CTO) derived from pine tree pulp used in the kraft paper process. Kraton wants to ensure that its GHS classification of TOFA is accurate and correct. Therefore, Kraton requested that Ramboll Environ perform an assessment of TOFA’s dermal sensitization hazard potential. In summary, Ramboll Environ reviewed three animal studies of TOFA products performed in accordance with international guidelines, a peer-reviewed published review of human studies of TOFA sensitization potential in soaps, one animal study of a DTO product, and the main chemical constituents of TOFA. With the exception of the disregarded study in 1992, the information demonstrated that TOFA, its main components, and a closely related product, are not sensitizers. The only study that suggests that TOFA is a sensitizer is the 1992 study that cannot be relied upon because it cannot be confirmed that TOFA was the test substance and the study owner had rejected the study.
