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.

Parameters investigated included the molar ratio of succinic anhydride/anhydroglucose units in cellulose in a range from 2:1 to 14:1, reaction time (from 30 to 160 min), and reaction temperature (between 60 and 110 °C). The succinylated cellulosic derivatives were prepared with a low degree of substitution (DS) ranging from 0.071 to 0.22. The results showed that the increase of reaction temperature, molar ratio of SA/AGU in cellulose, and reaction time led to an increase in DS of cellulose samples. The products were characterized by FT-IR and solid-state CP/MAS 13C NMR spectroscopy, and thermal analysis.

  • Papermaking and Ink Chemistry of the “United States
    Papermaking and Ink Chemistry of the “United States Three-Cent Bank Note Issue” Matej Pekarovic1, Alexandra Pekarovicova1, Jan Pekarovic1 and John Barwis2 Keywords: stamp, fiber length, paper porosity, bending index, color difference Abstract U.S. three-cent green postage stamps manufactured under governmental contracts with three different private bank note companies were studied concerning paper properties and ink composition. Stamp paper analyses revealed that each of the companies was using paper with different properties. Moreover, through the bending index measurement and calculation of population distribution of bending indices for each stamp manufacturer it was found that National BNC used two discrete types of paper, one with a bending index 85-115 GU/g reaching 52% of total tested samples, the other stiffer with a bending index 115-159 GU/g . The Continental BNC population (88%) had the bending index in the range 69-142 GU/g, the rest was within 142- 192 GU/g bending index. Possibly three different papers were used by the American BNC within the first period (1879), one (20%) with bending index 66-89 GU/g, a second (52%) with bending index 89-113 GU/g , and a third (28%) with bending index in the range of 113-145GU/g. The re-engraved issue (1881) was printed on two different papers, one (70% of population) with bending indices in the range 59-100GU/g, and the other with bending indices in the range of 100-128GU/g. “Green” as recognized by philatelists was found to be different for every manufacturer in terms of CIELAB values. Introduction This article aims to clarify differences in the substrate used to print United States three-cent stamps of the 1870s.

Received: 29 September 2020; Accepted: 20 October 2020; Published: 25 October 2020 Abstract: Lignin is the most abundant by-product from the pulp and paper industry as well as the second most abundant natural renewable biopolymer after cellulose on earth. In recent years, transforming unordered and complicated lignin into ordered and uniform nanoparticles has attracted wide attention due to their excellent properties such as controlled structures and sizes, better miscibility with polymers, and improved antioxidant activity. In this review, we first introduce five important technical lignin from different sources and then provide a comprehensive overview of the recent progress of preparation techniques which are involved in the fabrication of various lignin-based nanoparticles and their industrial applications in different fields such as drug delivery carriers, UV absorbents, hybrid nanocomposites, antioxidant agents, antibacterial agents, adsorbents for heavy metal ions and dyes, and anticorrosion nanofillers.

Fraser Paper: Origins and Local Acadian Culture Michael G. Hillard, Ph.D. Fraser Paper Company, located in Madawaska, Maine and Edmundston, New Brunswick, was founded in 1917. It was built and operated for several generations by the descendants of Scottish immigrants from the Fraser, Matheson and Brebner families, who immigrated to Canada from Scotland in the mid 19th century, and came together in the ensuing decades to build a lumber empire. The previous Frasier Company consisted of numerous logging camps and sawmills in New Brunswick and eastern Quebec built in the late 19th century. Subsequently, the founders decided to expand into more lucrative paper manufacturing. These original owners were self-made captains of industry in lumber production, quickly built a professional staff with backgrounds in paper engineering, sales and marketing, and research and development to manage facilities and sales forces, and to set investment strategy.
