Improving Pulping Performance as Well as Reducing Consumption and Increasing Efficiency via Microbial Consortium Pretreating Bamboo

Fermentation, 2023
The bio-refining process of bamboo is more challenging compared to wood due to its dense and stabilized complex polymer structure, as well as its abundance of degradation-resistant components. Consequently, the bio-refining of bamboo requires more energy

Beyond Brown: Lignin's Emerging Role in Structural Color

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Lignin, long regarded as a brown industrial byproduct, is emerging as a sustainable platform for structural color. This Perspective highlights how lignin's refractive index, intrinsic absorption, and nanoscale assembly enable tunable photonic responses in colloidal and thin‐film architectures, and outlines design strategies to advance scalable, bio ...

Factors limiting o×ygen delignification of kraft pulp [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Chemistry, 2001
Softwood kraft pulp was subjected to a laboratory one- and three-stage oxygen delignification process. Pulp and liquor samples were collected at different stages of the process with particular attention being paid to the early and late stages. A novel residual lignin isolation method extracted about 65% of the oxidized residual lignins at a purity ...

Mechanistic Insights Into Cellulose Dissolution in Solvents for Advanced Industrial Applications: A Systematic and Bibliometric Review

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cellulose dissolution is important for various industries, including textiles, bioplastics, foods and pharmaceuticals, yet achieving efficient dissolution remains challenging. Deep eutectic solvents (DES) have emerged as promising alternatives to traditional solvents due to their low toxicity, biodegradability and sustainability.

ANTHRAQUINONE ADDITION IN THE ALKALINE PULPING OF Eucalyptus saligna

Ciência Florestal, 2009
The present work evaluated different alkaline pulping conditions for Eucalyptus saligna wood. The objective was to evaluate the influence of the anthraquinone (AQ) on the reduction of the total reduced sulfur (TRS) in the aerial emissions, by reducing ...

Development of a co‐culture of Ureibacillus thermosphaericus and Cupriavidus taiwanensis for inhibitors removal from hemicellulose prehydrolysate

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
For biofuels production, hemicellulose pre‐hydrolysate is considered as an attractive feedstock rich in fermentable sugars. The pre‐hydrolysate derived from lignocellulosic biomass comprises, along with sugars, several inhibitors which can hamper its efficient conversion.

Valorization of Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) peel for peroxidase production and its immobilization on alginate beads for 2,4‐dichlorophenol bioconversion

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Sodium alginate was modified with EDC/NHS for the immobilization of Yacon peel peroxidase, resulting in a novel biocatalyst for the oxidation of 2,4‐dichlorophenol. Abstract Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) roots are emerging as an alternative source of peroxidase. This study aimed to extract, immobilize, and characterize the peroxidase from Yacon peel,

Enhancing Kraft based dissolving pulp production by integrating green liquor neutralization

Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications, 2021
A pre-hydrolysis Kraft pulping (PHK) process that was used to make dissolving pulp was enhanced by replacing conventional white liquor (WL) neutralization with green liquor (GL) neutralization prior to Kraft pulping.

Chemistry of Kraft Pulping and Pulp Bleaching

JAPAN TAPPI JOURNAL, 2000
Chemistry of kraft pulp production was summarized from considering recent environmental plans. Levels of dioxins and chloroform emission in regulations were shown first, and then chemical feature of lignin, reactions of lignin and carbohydrates during kraft pulping, structure of residual lignin in pulp, reactions of chlorine and chlorinated chemicals ...
