Effect of H2O2 bleaching with ultrasonication on the properties of thermomechanical pulp and unbleached kraft pulp

open access: yesUltrasonics Sonochemistry, 2015
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 ...

DUAL-POLYELECTROLYTE ADSORPTION OF POLY(ALLYLAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE) AND XYLAN ONTO RECYCLED UNBLEACHED KRAFT PULPS

open access: yesBioResources, 2012
The effects of a double polyelectrolyte adsorption of poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and xylan (Xyl) on a recycled unbleached softwood kraft pulp were studied. The kinetics of PAH adsorption on this pulp was analyzed by building adsorption isotherms and by estimating the surface nitrogen adsorbed through the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)

Conversion of WastePaper into Dissolving Pulp: A Path for Circular Bioeconomy

open access: yesChemistrySelect, Volume 9, Issue 30, August 12, 2024.
The potential of wastepaper to produce dissolving pulp was demonstrated in this article. By employing and optimizing chemical processes to wastepaper pulp, a noteworthy increase of 84 % in pulp Fock reactivity was achieved (from 45.6 % to 84.1 %). The pulp characteristics were followed throughout the different treatments allowing better understanding ...
