  • Making Paper from Stone
    MAKING PAPER FROM STONE INNOVATIVE GREEN PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY FROM CHINA By Xi Fang The current paper production still depends much on the exploitation of wood material, which contributes to the phenomenon of deforestation and degrading our living environment. A company in China, however, developed a revolutionary paper material made of ore powder and non- toxic resin, colloquially called stone paper. The Jiuding Environmental Paper Co. Ltd was founded in 2009 with its headquarter in Shanghai and a 70,000 m2 factory area in the beautiful Buddhist shrine under the Jiuhua Mountain. Collaborating with Chinese universities, the company has achieved the invention and development of technologies related to the production of paper based on stone. The first phase of stone paper uses mainly calcite stone as the raw material, cutting it into particles and blending it with other 10 materials. Similar to non-wood paper, the Jiuding Company is developing non-wood plank, as well, using calcium carbonate as key material. The unique technology of the Company allows a production of paper without wood, rather, with educing calcium carbonate (CaCO3) as the main raw material, together with other non-toxic excipients, through the physical method of synthesis, which reduces significantly the dependence of current paper production industry on wood and contributing to the protection of environment. Moreover, the general cost of stone paper is even lower than normal paper, and stone paper is water-proof, flexible and invulnerable in terms of physical characters. The material of rich mineral paper keeps sufficient supply and stable cost. According to the data of the company, replacing 1 ton of wood paper with stone paper, it is possible to prevent 20 trees from being cut down, saving 7480 gallons of water and 6 million BTU energy, avoiding 167 lbs solid waste, 42 lbs waste water and 236 lbs atmospheric emissions.

  • Optimisation of the Norske Skog Activated Sludge Wastewater Treatment Plant at Boyer: the Role of Trace Metals and Vitamins
    Optimisation of the Norske Skog activated sludge wastewater treatment plant at Boyer: The role of trace metals and vitamins Jason Barnett BEnvSc (Honours) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Chemistry University of Tasmania June 2013 Declaration I declare this thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma in any other tertiary institution, except by way of back ground information and duly referenced in the thesis. To the best of the candidate’s knowledge and belief, no material previously published or written by another person is included in the text of the thesis except where due reference is made in the text of the thesis. This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. 30th June 2013 Jason Barnett Date ii | P a g e Abstract In January 2008 Norske Skog, Boyer (NSB) , Tasmania, commissioned an activated sludge (AS) wastewater treatment plant to lower the chemical oxygen demand (COD) and suspended solids (SS) in the treated effluent discharged from the mill. In October 2009 the company also changed the feed stock of the mill from a mixed Pinus radiata and Eucalypt to solely P. radiata, altering the pulping process. The cold caustic soda (CCS) plant was decommissioned and replaced with an additional thermo-mechanical pulping (TMP) plant. Trace metals in the mill wastewater samples were analysed before and after this transition to detect any differences due to the changed feedstock and operating conditions, and to determine if metal levels were sufficient for optimum operation of the AS wastewater treatment plant.

  • From Waste to Value
    4 New path development for forest- based value creation in Norway Antje Klitkou, Marco Capasso, Teis Hansen and Julia Szulecka 4.1 Introduction This chapter focuses on path development in the forest-based industries of Norway, based on the valorisation of side- streams and residues. Forest- based value creation is one of the main avenues for the emerging bioeconomy in Norway and the neighbouring Nordic countries Sweden and Finland. Historically, the forestry sector has been an important part of the Norwegian economy, both in terms of GDP and employment. The sector contributed 10.4% of Norwegian GDP in 1845 (Grytten, 2004, p. 254). After the discovery of oil and natural gas on the Norwegian shelf, the importance of the forestry sector has diminished. And over the last decade this negative trend has multiplied. For decades, the forestry- based industry in Norway has specialised in pulp and paper production, especially newsprint paper. Therefore, huge volumes of forest resources, including residues and side- streams, have been poured into this industry. However, due to changing global market conditions – the massive deployment of the Internet reducing demand for newspapers – and the rise of competitors in other parts of the world, European pulp and paper production has declined significantly in the last decade (Karltorp & Sandén, 2012). This development has had a tremendous impact on the market possib- ilities of forestry residues, since they can now be processed for pulp and paper to a much lesser degree. Nevertheless, other valorisation pathways exist besides pulp and paper production, such as the wooden construction industry, wooden furniture manufacturing, bioenergy – including solid bioenergy and liquid biofuels – and the production of lignocellulosic chemicals and mater- ials.

  • KARST-Factsheet
    A little about us It only takes a couple of people to change an industry. We could kill trees too. But why should we have to? It’s possible to make paper without timber and water, without chlorine or acids, without waste, using only a third of the carbon footprint. So we did. Our paper is made of stone. It’s smoother, brighter, and more durable than traditional paper. We don’t compromise. Neither should you. We get a lot of questions about stone paper—qualities, environmental benefits, similarities to and differences from traditional wood pulp paper. These pages address all the queries you may have about our stone paper. Karst Stone Paper™ fact sheet What is Karst Stone Paper™? How is stone paper different than Producing just one ton of traditional wood pulp paper regular paper? requires around 18 tall trees and 2770 liters of water.

  • Eco-Frendly and High-Quality Paper Made from Stone In
    ECO-FRENDLY AND HIGH-QUALITY PAPER MADE FROM STONE IN TAIWAN The Taiwan Lung Meng Technology Company (TLM), based in Tainan (Taiwan), has pioneered a process converting recycled debris from the construction industry into high- quality Stone Paper. The Stone Paper, that uses a mixture made for 80 per cent of calcium carbonate and for 20 per cent of a non-toxic resin, is not only 100% recyclable but its manufacturing process is also eco-friendly. This paper, in fact, is manufactured without the need to fell trees, without polluting water and generating harmful gaseous wastes. The process for creating the Stone Paper was developed and then patented by the Lung Meng Company in Taiwan in 1998. As soon as the export process started, this stone papermaking technology has attracted the attention of customers as an environmentally sustainable solution. The web page of the Lung Meng Company presents the main features of the Stone Paper and the fabrication process adopted. The great range of products made since 2012 shows the potential of this innovative technology. In fact, in addition to bringing great environmental benefits, the Stone Paper has other features that make it interesting for its potential uses and for consumers: It is flame-resistant, durable and waterproof. Due to the paper's durability, it can be used for making maps, charts, field notebooks, manuals and waterproof journals that will be tear and stain-resistant. It can be used for tags and labels, posters, banners and outdoor signs which will withstand weather, for packaging and wrapping, for shopping and garbage bags that are durable.

  • September 2015 City of Powell River – PRSC Limited Partnership
    City of Powell River City Hall – MacGregor Building 6910 Duncan Street, Powell River BC V8A 1V4 Telephone 604 485-6291 ~ Fax 604 485-2913 www.powellriver.ca FILE: 1405-01 September 2015 City of Powell River – PRSC Limited Partnership INFORMATION Background In 2003 the City of Powell River (in conjunction with the Powell River Regional Economic Development Society) and Sliammon Development Corp (SDC) separately approached Norske Skog Canada (now Catalyst Paper) to purchase waterfront industrial lands near the mill. After some discussion, SDC proposed that NorskeCanada and the City come together with it to form a joint venture to pursue development of the lands surplus to mill operations. The conversation between the three parties led to the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding to pursue the formation of a partnership in 2004. After two years of hard work the three parties announced in August 2006 that they had formed PRSC Limited Partnership to take ownership of approximately 800 acres of land no longer strategic to Catalyst Paper Corporation’s operations in Powell River. In return for the lands, PRSC Limited Partnership (LP) secured a mortgage of $4.5 million due on August 1, 2011 at an interest rate of 5% annually (A 4 year extension was secured early in 2011). Each party held shares in the Limited Partnership through wholly owned corporations: • Powell River Waterfront Development Corporation (PRWDC) - owned 100% by the City of Powell River • Tees’kwat Land Holdings Ltd (TLH) - owned 100% by Sliammon Development Corporation • 0606890 BC Ltd - owned 100% by Catalyst Paper Corporation While under Creditor Protection in 2012, Catalyst Paper made an agreement with the PRWDC and TLH to sell its shares in the Limited Partnership and retire the mortgage for the sum of $3.0 million dollars.
