  • 4.3 Optical Properties
    Summary Mechanical pulping is a process for production of wood pulp in papermaking. Thermomechanical Pulp (TMP) and Groundwood (GW) are historically the two production methods used for mechanical pulping. Because of high electrical prices and increasing requirements in pulp quality it is of interest to improve the mechanical pulping process. The Advanced Thermomechanical Pulp (ATMP) process is a development of the TMP process developed to reduce the electrical energy consumption in production of mechanical pulp. ATMP also has better strength properties and optical properties compared to TMP. Andritz, Paper and Fibre Research Institute (PFI) and Norske Skog together have developed this production method throughout several pilot plant trials with excellent results. Mechanical pre-treatment of wood chips with a screw press and chemical addition in a high intensity primary refining stage are the features of the ATMP process. This process has recently been described (Hill et al. 2009, Hill et al. 2010, Gorski et al. 2011 and Johansson et al. 2011). Improvements in the electrical energy efficiency in refining of up to 0,65 MWh/odt or 34 % as well as higher brightness and lower shive contents compared to reference TMP pulp were shown for spruce raw material (Gorski et al. 2011) To further understand what happens with the pulp in ATMP process compared to the TMP process different investigations were carried out. Methylene blue sorption were evaluated and used to measure the total amount of anionic groups on both ATMP and TMP produced pulps. ATMP produced pulps achieved a higher number of acidic groups compared to pulps without addition of chemicals for not only the whole pulp but also for three different fractions of each pulp.

  • Paper and Surface Chemistry – Part 1- Fiber Surface and Wet End Chemistry
    Paper and Surface Chemistry – Part 1- Fiber Surface and Wet End Chemistry Pedro Fardim Instituto de Química, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, SP, Brazil Present Address: Process Chemistry Group, Åbo Akademi University, Turku/Åbo, Finland Abstract Paper manufacturing and converting involves a multitude of surface chemical interactions. Beating, stock preparation, coating and converting processes are steps where surface phenomena play an important role for product consolidation and performance. Interactions between fibers and colloidal particles, polymers, minerals and, dyes are fundamental in papermaking and most of them are complex and not very well understood. Thus, many paper formulations are designed according to an empirical trial-and-error approach. This work is a critical literature review of some of the interactions present in papermaking, coating, and printing. In the first part, the current models for fiber surfaces and their interactions in the wet end are discussed. Limitations concerning the fiber surface definition and the available models based on direct observation, DLVO theory, and a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches are highlighted. Complexity factors such as surface composition heterogeneity, contamination from manufacturing processes, and surface mobility are suggested to be considered. Surface interactions present in the wet end, with focus on reversible and irreversible flocculation as well as on the flocculation mechanisms concerning fibers, polymers and micro-particles are also discussed. The role of the fiber surface chemical composition on flocculation and flock size and the influence from the chemical medium in the paper machine is reviewed. Papermaking is suggested as being a fiber surface modification process once polymers and other chemicals are used to change the surface energy and chemical composition.

Ingen av bøkene tar spesielt for seg kraftmarkedsreformen som kom med innføringen av den nye energiloven i 1991. En av de mest grundige analysene av norsk kraftforsyning finner vi i boka "Strøm og styring" forfattet av Lars Thue der NVE er oppdragsgiver. Boka kom i 1996 da NVE feiret sitt 75 års-jubileum. Lars Thue dekker en lang periode fra starten på elektrifiseringen av landet rundt 1900, og fram til 1990-tallet da de viktigste brikkene i kraftmarkedsreformen var lagt. De fleste forfatterne vier ikke kraftreformen særlig stor interesse.

  • Migration Studies of Chloropropanols from Paperboard Packaging
    MIGRATION STUDIES OF CHLOROPROPANOLS FROM PAPERBOARD PACKAGING IN CONTACT WITH FOODSTUFFS by GREGORY V. PACE A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School - New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Food Science written under the direction of Professor Thomas G. Hartman and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey January 2011 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Migration Studies of Chloropropanols from Paperboard Packaging in Contact with Foodstuffs By GREGORY V. PACE Dissertation Director: Professor Thomas G. Hartman The food processing of acid hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) results in the chlorination of residual lipids to form chloropropanols. 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol (3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol; 3-MCPD), and 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol (1,3-DCP), are the most common chloropropanols found in HVP foods and also soy sauces. The manufacturing process of paperboard food packaging may also produce chloropropanols. 3-MCPD and 1,3-DCP can be found in paperboard when wet-strength resins made with epichlorohydrin are used. 1,3-DCP had been determined to be carcinogenic in rats and mice. 3-MCPD was a suspected carcinogen , and has recently been moving towards classification as a carcinogen. The European (EU) Commission and the US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) have set maximum levels in food and food paperboard packaging for 3-MCPD ii and 1,3-DCP. In October 2010, 3-MCPD and 1,3-DCP were added to the California Proposition 65 list of compounds known to State to cause cancer.

  • The Fundamentals of Papermaking Materials
    Preferred citation: A. Swerin and L. Ödberg. Some aspects of retention aids. In The Fundametals of Papermaking Materials, Trans. of the XIth Fund. Res. Symp. Cambridge, 1997, (C.F. Baker, ed.), pp 265–350, FRC, Manchester, 2018. DOI: 10.15376/frc.1997.1.265. SOME ASPECTS OF RETENTION AIDS Agne Swerin and Lars Ödberg STFI, Swedish Pulp and Paper Research Institute Box 5604, S-114 86 Stockholm, Sweden ABSTRACT Fundamental aspects on polymer adsorption and flocculation phenomena are reviewed . Special emphasis is placed on recent developments . Examples are the mode of action of microparticle retention aid systems and of retention systems based on polyethylene oxide/phenolic resin. Fibre flocculation and the strength of fibrous networks are affected by retention aids and this is discussed in, connection with investigations on retention and formation in the laboratory and on pilot-scale paper machines . 266 INTRODUCTION This review article deals primarily with retention aids. Other papers presented at this symposium are devoted to other paper chemicals such as sizing agents and strength aids. Some of the discussion in this paper, e.g, on the adsorption of polyelectrolytes, is of course of relevance for some of these other areas as well. There are already extensive reviews available concerning retention aids and retention mechanisms (1, 2) and this review is therefore concentrated on more recent developments especially those not covered in the earlier reviews. We do not, however, claim to have covered all developments . There is, of course, some emphasis on the work done at STFI, primarily since this work is very familiar to us.

    Cellulose-based electrical insulation materials Dielectric and mechanical properties REBECCA HOLLERTZ Doctoral thesis KTH Royal Institute of Technology School of Chemical Science and Engineering Department of Fibre and Polymer Technology ISBN 978-91-7729-327-9 TRITA – CHE-report 2017:21 ISSN 1654-1081 Tryck: US-AB, Stockholm, 2017 The following papers are reprinted with permission from: Paper I: Springer Papers II, III, VII and VIII: IEEE Transactions on Dielectric and Electrical Insulation AKADEMISK AVHANDLING Som med tillstånd av Kungliga Tekniska högskolan i Stockholm framläggs till offentlig granskning för avläggande av teknologie doktorsexamen fredagen den 12 maj 2017, kl. 10.00 i F3, Lindstedtsvägen 26, KTH, Stockholm. Avhandlingen försvaras på engelska. Fakultetsopponent: Professor Markus Biesalski, TU Darmstadt, Tyskland Copyright© Rebecca Hollertz, 2017 ABSTRACT The reliability of the generation and distribution of electricity is highly dependent on electrical insulation and is essential for the prosperity of our society and a ubiquitous part of our everyday life. The present study shows how some important material properties affect the electrical properties of cellulose-based electrical insulation systems which are used together with mineral oil in high-voltage transformers. Among other things, the effects of paper density and of the lignin content of the fibres on the dielectric response and charge transport of the papers have been studied. The underlying mechanisms of the inception and propagation of streamers, responsible for the most costly failures in transformers, at the oil-solid interface have been investigated and the important role of paper morphology on streamer propagation has been demonstrated. With papers, in contrast to films of synthetic polymers and microfibrillated cellulose, the branching of streamers increased and the length of slow negative streamers decreased.
