Abstract H2O2 was used in the final stage of a multistage bleaching process to increase ISO brightness by 2–3%, because of the poor selectivity and bleachability. However, concerns about the environmental load of the bleaching process have led to the efficient use of oxygen-derived compounds, with a concomitant decrease in the quantity of chlorine ...

Electrochemical Characteristics of Lignin in CTMP for Paper Battery Electrodes. [PDF]
Lignin naturally present in papers made of unbleached mechanical pulps is electrochemically active. Here, softwood chemi‐thermomechanical pulp (CTMP) is studied as an active cathode material for application in paper batteries. Proof‐of‐concept measurements are shown, and it is found that softwood CTMP fines exhibit competing oxidative electrochemical ...

Mistletoe- and Mussel-Inspired Fabrication of Hierarchically Structured Protein-Cellulose Scaffolds From Biomolecular Condensates. [PDF]
Merging materials processing tricks inspired by mussel and mistletoe fiber fabrication, solutions of cationic mussel byssus proteins were mixed with modified anionic nanocrystalline cellulose, producing distinctive core‐shell condensates. Simple processing of condensate suspensions using freeze‐drying produced hierarchically structured porous protein ...

Effect of Electron Beam Irradiation on the Properties of Softwood Unbleached Kraft Pulp
Electron beam irradiation is also an eco-friendly treatment compared to other physical and chemical treatments. In this study, we attempted to evaluate the possibilities of energy savings by applying electron beam irradiation to the refining process. After softwood unbleached kraft pulp (UKP) was irradiated with electron beams at 50 and 100 kGy, it was
