  • Paper from Alternative Fibres the Facts
    Paper From Alternative Fibres The Facts The paper and paper packaging industry depend on an efficient, abundant and economically viable source of cellulose fibre to manufacture the huge variety of paper products we use today, like; newspapers, magazines, tissue, and paper packaging. Most commonly fibre is sourced from trees, a natural renewable and sustainable source but, cellulose can also come from other agricultural sources. What are ‘alternative fibres’? • Cotton and linen remain excellent papermaking fibres, with very high cellulose content. This gives superior The key ingredient in papermaking is cellulose, which is strength and a luxurious feel but comes at a higher cost. derived from the vegetable fibres found in trees and other plants. Wood fibre (including recycled fibre) is by far the most • Bamboo has similar technical characteristics to wood common source used in modern papermaking, due to its pulp and is used commercially in some parts of the world, cost-effective availability, relatively high proportion of cellulose particularly Asia, albeit in relatively small quantities. and reliable technical characteristics. Alternative fibres come • Bagasse, the fibrous residue after extraction of sugar from from grasses, seed hairs and other parts of plants (such as sugar cane, behaves similarly to straw but is more difficult bast fibres and leaves) and have historically been used too, to process. albeit in relatively low volumes. • Sugar beet, meanwhile, has some potential, particularly History because of a low lignin content (the ‘glue’ that binds fibre together, causing impurities in paper) but is unproven at Paper was traditionally made from clothing rags, and scale. sometimes plant material such as straw, until the mid-19th century.

  • Outlook for U.S. Paper and Paperboard Sector and Wood Fiber Supply in North America
    Chapter 5 - Outlook for U.S. paper and paperboard sector and Wood fiber supply in North America Mr. Peter J. Ince United States Forest Service U.S. Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, Wisconsin Abstract, Consumption of wood fiber in pulp, paper and paperboard increased in the United States over the past century and is projected to increase well into the next century at a decelerating rate of growth. Harvest of pulpwood on forest land is the single largest source of wood fiber, followed by recycled paper and wood residues. In the past decade, wood residues declined in supply while use of recycled paper increased rapidly. Use of recycled paper is projected to increase more steadily in the future with slower growth in paper recovery for recycling. Harvest of pulpwood on forest land is projected to remain the dominant source of U.S. fiber supply through the first half of the next century. Softwood pulpwood harvest on forest land is projected to increase as U.S. softwood residue supplies decline. Pulpwood stumpage values are projected to increase in the United States, based on supply and demand analysis, gradually improving economic opportunities for growing hardwood short-rotation woody crops on agricultural land. Hardwood pulpwood harvest on forest land is projected to increase for several decades but then decline in the long run with increasing fiber supply from agricultural short-rotation woody crops. Canada is projected to remain the principal source of U.S. pulp and paper imports, which are projected to increase. Most Canadian domestic pulpwood supply is projected to remain wood residues, as Canadian lumber production and residue output are projected to increase in the future.

  • The Effect of Pulping Upon the Dimensions of Wood Tracheids
    THE EFFECT OF PULPING UPON THE DIMENSIONS OF WOOD TRACHEIDS A. M. Scullan and H. V. Green l'olp and Paper Research Institute of Canada, Pointe Claire, P.Q., H9H 359 CANADA (Received 22 September 1975) ABSTRACT The dimensions of the fibres in oven-dry blocks of mood from three species (white spruce, 1)ouglas-fir, and larch) were deduced from measure~ilentsof bulk density and the number of fibres per unit cross-sectional area. The blocks \\.ere then cooked Ly the soda process to various yields, and the fibre dimensions were redeterlined after the blocks had been washed and oven-dried. The weight of the fibres per unit length decreased almost in proportion to the yield loss, I~eingreduced at 40% yield to 42% of its value in wood. This finding indicates that the fibres were shortened to only a small extent by pulping (ca. 4% at 40% yield) and that the major changes were in the transverse dimensions of the fibres. At 40%, yield, cell-wall thickness and fibre width were respectively rechlced to 52.5% and 84% of their original values. The results were independent of wood. species. The changes in the dimensions of the fibres are in keeping with current concepts of the structure of the cell wall. llrlditional keywords: Piceu glauca, Pset~rlotsugamenzie.~ii, Larix dccirlua, fiber dimensions, cell-wall thickness, fiber tliarnetcr, fiber length, soda pulping, yield, bulk density, wood, cross section.

Th e possibilities of utilizing waste-paper were examined in the production of MDF. Two kinds of waste-paper (cardboard waste and mixed waste-paper) in two disintegration sizes each were used. Th e composition and length of fi bres and content of the Klasson lignin were examined. Th e following properties were obtained in the boards: bending strength, internal bond, modulus of elasticity and thickness swelling. It is apparent that paper fi bres can be added to wood fi bers in the production of MDF to a maximum of 30%. KEY WORDS: cardboard waste, mixed-waste paper, MDF, disintegration size of waste paper INTRODUCTION Th e limited supply of wood from the forest has initiated research in other materials for production of wood- panel boards. Investigations of the utilization of fi brous agricultural waste material and of high-molecular polymer are well-known and partially practised in industry. Waste paper is a recycled material which is not on the whole used in the production of paper. Th e production and consumption of paper increase every year, this is why waste paper resources will also increase. Th is is the reason why waste paper can be used in other branches of industry.

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.
