Cost Reduction and Upgrading of Basic Properties of Absorbent-grade Paper
نویسندگان
چکیده
Absorbent-grade paper is a highly specialized product due to introduction of certain special characteristics, namely high water absorbency, castor oil penetration (COP), and porosity. Water absorbency is affected by the radius of capillaries within the paper. Likewise the COP is affected by pulp beating and by the degree of collapse of the paper structure during sheet pressing. Using 4% NaHCO3 solution during manufacturing of absorbent grade paper not only improves all the three basic properties, but it also mitigates the cost of absorbent grade paper by US$ 4.07 per metric tonne. Fibers come closer to each other during sheet making as a result of increased surface tension forces due to mixing of NaHCO3 in tap water.

Investigating the Performance Characteristics of Asphaltic Concrete Containing Nano-Silica
Using nano-technology materials in the asphalt pavement industry is new compared with Portland cement concrete. The main objective of this study is to investigate the effects of nano-silica modification on some properties of a penetration grade asphalt cement and a typical asphalt concrete. 60/70 penetration grade bitumen was modified with different percentages of nano-silica (i.e. 1, 3 and 5%,...
متن کاملModification of Spruce Sulphite Pulp by Cellulase Treatment
Enzymatic treatment of different sulphite pulps with cellulases has been studied in this work. Endoglucanases were shown to beneficially alter the properties of both paper-grade and dissolving-grade pulps. In the case of the paper-grade pulp, the treatment with endoglucanase resulted in a considerable reduction of the pulp refining time without decrease in strength properties. While for the dis...

The present study prepares alkali lignin (AL) via acidification of black liquor, obtained from a pulp and paper factory. The average molecular weight of AL (equal to 2,530 g/mol) has been determined with gel permeation chromatography. AL has been modified by ethylene glycol, while lignin nanoparticles (LN) has been prepared through acid precipitation technology, their size being assessed by mea...

متن کاملAn investigation on absorption properties of exfoliated graphite for oil spill from Caspian Sea water
Oil spills are the most important environmental impact in oceans and seas. In this article, Oil absorption, which was explored from Sardar-e-Jangal oilfield in Caspian Sea, by exfoliated graphite (EG), was investigated. Graphite was exfoliated through the reaction of graphite-CrO3 intercalation compounds with hydrogen peroxide. The obtained absorbent was characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller ...
