Each fraction was milled and tested for ash content, cold water solubles, hot water solubles, NaOH solubles, solvent extractables, and klason lignin content. With respect to lignin content, the test values showed that stalks > leaves > husks. Ash content values were similar for all three fractions. The leaf fraction had higher levels of all solubles, compared to the other fractions. The stalk faction had the highest level of solvent extractables. Each fraction was pulped, using a soda-AQ process. The yield and fiber properties of each resulting pulp sample were compared 6-2 11:00 am The Spanish "Biovid" Project.

  • Papermaking STOCK PREPARATION
    Papermaking STOCK PREPARATION – LC REFINING A special thanks to FineBar™ for the excerpted notes from their Introduction to Stock Prep Refining Manual available at: www.finebar.com 1. Structure of Paper & The Role of Refining Paper is a tangled web of fibers. The fibers are more or less lying in a flat plane, and they are attached to one another at the many points of contact that occur wherever one fiber lies across another fiber. The strength of paper is largely determined by the strength of the attachments at these fiber crossing points. While it is true that strength of the individual fibers can also be a factor in determining the strength of the resulting paper, it is often the case that paper fails when the fiber-fiber bonds fail. The linkage that occurs at the fiber crossing points of paper is made up of hydrogen bonds which are formed between corresponding points on two cellulose or hemicellulose molecules when an interconnecting water molecule is removed by drying. A representation of this type of bond in cellulose is shown below. LC Refining Page 1 Anything that can increase the number of hydrogen bonds engaged at a crossing point will increase the strength of the linkage and, thus, the strength of the paper. For simplicity, consider just two fibers and a single crossing of one over the other. If the cell wall of these fibers is very rigid, as with a glass tube for example, the area of contact at the crossing point will be small. On the other hand, if the fiber walls are very flexible, as with a bicycle inner tube, the contact area at the crossing point will be much larger.

EFFECTS OF HIGH CONSISTENCY REFINING ON THE PROPERTIES OF THE CONSOLIDATED WEB J . T. HENDERSON, J . S. BARTON and H . ERFURT Central Research Division, Crown Zellerbach Corporation, Camas, U.S.A. Synopsis-The treatment of pulps at low consistencies in conventional beaters or refiners is partially a destructive process that severely damages and shortens the fibres. These disadvantages are overcome in high consistency refining (HCR), a technique developed commercially in the USA, which treats a pulp at con- sistencies of 20-40 per cent by transmitting mechanical energy to a semi-solid fibre pad between the plates of a disc refiner. The refining action is brought about by strong interfibre shearing actions, by rubbing and sliding offibres on each other and by the intensive internal friction forces that result. This mechanism gives the fibres a unique appearance that makes it possible readily to detect the HCR pulp in a furnish. The preservation of the average fibre length while developing extensive fibrilla- tion is the most important feature of the HCR process . The properties of webs formed from an HCR pulp and a jordan refined stock differ noticeably in every phase of sheet consolidation . HCR fibre slurries frequently have a poorer forma- tion, but seem to drain better-at least, in the higher freeness range.

Some aspects on strength properties in paper composed of different pulps Licentiate thesis Karlstad University Studies 2007:38 ISSN 1403-8099 ISBN 978-91-7063-141-2 © The author Distribution: Karlstad University Faculty of Technology and Science Chemical Engineering SE-651 88 Karlstad SWEDEN Phone +46 54 700 10 00 www.kau.se Printed at: Universitetstryckeriet, Karlstad 2007 Abstract For paper producers, an understanding of the development of strength properties in the paper is of uttermost importance. Strong papers are important operators both in the traditional paper industry as well as in new fields of application, such as fibre-based packaging and light-weight building material. In this study, two approaches of enhancing paper strength, reinforcement and multilayering, were addressed. In specific, the effects of adding abaca ( Musa Textilis ) as a reinforcement fibre for softwood pulp were investigated. Moreover, a handsheet former for the production of stratified sheets, the LB Multilayer Handsheet Former, was evaluated. The LB Multilayer Handsheet Former was then used to study the effects of placing selected fibres in separate layers, rather than by making homogeneous sheets from a mixture of the pulps. Handsheets of a softwood sulphate pulp with the addition of abaca fibres were made in a conventional sheet former. It was seen that the addition of abaca fibres increased the tearing resistance, fracture toughness, folding endurance and air permeance.
