Effects of Kraft Pulping on the Interfacial Properties of Eucalyptus Pulp Fibres

چکیده
Os efeitos da polpação kraft nas propriedades interfaciais da polpa de eucalipto brasileiro foram investigados usando titulação com polieletrólito (PT) e medidas de ângulo de contato. Mudanças na composição química da superfície foram avaliadas por espectrometria de reflexão total atenuada no infravermelho (FTIR-ATR), combinada com análise de componentes principais (PCA). O aumento do álcali ativo na polpação provocou a remoção de lignina da superfície, de acordo com FTIR-ATR e PCA. A carga superficial diminuiu enquanto a energia superficial e trabalho de adesão com a água (W ap ) aumentaram. O componente ácido-base (W ap-AB ) foi indentificado como o causador do aumento em W ap . Nossos resultados sugeriram que a remoção de lignina superficial combinada com a exposição de carbohidratos e mobilidade superficial de extrativos são as principais causas das modificações nas propriedades interfaciais geradas pela polpação kraft. A contribuição das propriedades superficiais no desenvolvimento de seqüências de branqueamento e novos produtos de polpa também foram discutidos.

Dissolving Pulp (alpha-cellulose) from Corn Stalk by Kraft Process
Corn stalk can be used as an alternative non-wood raw material to produce cellulosic dissolving grade pulp. In this work, the potential of corn stalk in the production of dissolving pulp (alpha-cellulose) was investigated. It was collect ed from a corn stalk farm of Kermanshah, Iran. The sequences of experimental work were: water and acid prehydrolysis at 160˚C for 30min, followed by Kraft pulp...

Chemical and morphological characterization of different parts of banana plant(Musa paradisica) (peduncle, leaf stalk and pseudo stem) were carried out in orderto assess their potentiality for chemical pulp. Each portion was tested forextractives, sodium hydroxide solubility, ash, lignin, cellulose and pentosancontents as well as their fiber length and width. These segmented parts werecharacter...
متن کاملIntegration of Kraft Pulping on a Forest Biorefinery by the Addition of a Steam Explosion Pretreatment
Steam explosion has been proposed for a wide range of lignocellulosic applications, including fractionation of biomass, pre-treatment of biomass for ethanol production, or as an alternative to conventional mechanical pulping. Nevertheless, a steam explosion process could also be used as pretreatment before chemical pulping, expecting a reduction in cooking time due to the open structure of the ...
متن کاملDilute Sulphuric Acid Extraction of Hemicelluloses from Eucalyptus Grandis and Its Effect on Kraft and Soda-aq Pulp and Handsheet Properties
The extraction of hemicelluloses prior to pulping is an attractive process to be incorporated in the pulp and paper mills to generate valuable by-products such as xylose and xylo-oligomers in addition to core products. This paper investigates the impact of xylan extraction by dilute acid on cooking conditions, pulp yield and properties during kraft and soda-AQ pulping of Eucalyptus grandis wood...

The feasibility of enhancing the efficiency of the kraft pulping operations while at the same time evolving the process into a biorefinery, and thus producing hemicelluloses together with paper products, was studied. Hardwood chips (Eucalyptus grandis) were pre-treated with green liquor prior to pulp production. At optimal pre-treatment conditions, the pH of the resulting extract was 7.8, the w...
