Papermaking potential of novel structured PCC fillers with enhanced refractive index
TAPPI JOURNAL, 2010While much effort has been focused on optical properties imparted by particle size distribution, shape, and packing of inorganic particles, the refractive index contrasts within the paper matrix have received less attention. PCC fillers can be used as tools for increasing the refractive index contrast, which further improves paper optical properties ...

Pulping and papermaking potential of six mangrove species in Bangladesh
Journal of the Indian Academy of Wood Science, 2015In this paper, physical, morphological and chemical characterizations of the six main mangrove species of Bangladesh [namely Keora (Sonneratia apetala), Gewa (Excoecaria agallocha), Bine (Avicennia alba), Sundari (Heritiera fomes) Pashur (Xylocarpous mekongests) and Kakra (Bruguiera gymnorhiza)] were discussed in order to assess the suitability of ...

Potentials of agricultural waste and grasses in pulp and papermaking
Journal of Research in Forestry, Wildlife and Environment, 2013Potentials of some agricultural waste and grasses were investigated. Potassium hydroxide from wood ash was used as alkali for pulping. Results from visopan Microscope showed that banana stalk has the highest fibre length of 2.60 mm and Bahaman grass has the least fibre length of 0.85 mm.

Papermaking potential of rapeseed straw, a new agricultural-based fiber source
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2013Abstract The main papermaking characteristics of rapeseed straw (Brassica napus L.) as an agricultural residue were investigated. The average fiber length, width, lumen, and cell wall thickness were found to be 1.03 mm, 28.00 μm, 19.1 μm, and 4.91 μm, respectively.

Theobroma glandiflorum and T. cacao, known as cupuacu and cacao, respectively, are species widely used for food purposes. However, when plantations are renewed, these plants are discarded, making studies on the reuse of this material necessary. Thus, the objective of this study was to perform biometry of cellular elements and to investigate the ...

To meet the challenge of bioremediation of black liquor in pulp and paper mills at low temperatures, a psychrotrophic lignin-degrading bacterium was employed in black liquor treatment for the first time. In this study, Arthrobacter sp. C2 exhibited excellent cold adaptability and lignin degradation ability, with a lignin degradation rate of 65.5% and a

Fiber Properties and Papermaking Potential of Recycled Acacia Pulp
2004The principle of paper recycling is based on that the inter-fiber bonding can be broken by hydration to isolate individual pulp fiber; that is, the sheet forming using water is a reversible process. It is interrogative whether every aspect in recycling is reversible, preserving the level of paper-making properties.

Sequential modelling of thermal energy: New potential for energy optimisation in papermaking
Applied Energy, 2012Papermaking is known as an energy-intensive, but not always efficient industry. This is at least partly due to the fact that the majority of papermaking technologies and procedures were established at a time when energy was both cheap and plentiful. A considerable fraction of the energy required for papermaking is consumed in removing water by the use ...

Abstract This study uses municipal sewage sludge (MSS) as a fertilizer for cultivating Pennisetum hybridum (hybrid Giant Napier grass). The effects of the MSS treatment on the chemical composition of Pennisetum hybridum and on the properties of paper made from its pulp were investigated.

Nonwood Fibers—A Potential Source of Raw Material in Papermaking
Polymer-Plastics Technology and Engineering, 2006World demand for paper has increased at an average annual rate of 4.7% over the past 40 years. Although future growth will reduce to 2–3% the existing wood resources may be inadequate to meet this growing demand for paper especially in the Asia-Pacific region and Eastern Europe.
