Effects of Pulp Preparation and Papermaking Processes on the Properties of Occ Fibers

چکیده
Changes of the pore structure of recycled fibers and the strength properties of papers produced by old corrugated container (OCC) recycled fibers were studied, after they were subjected to different stock preparation and papermaking processes. In this paper, the effects of beating, sizing, pressing, and drying on fiber properties were investigated, and the porous structure of fibers was analyzed by nitrogen adsorption technique. The results showed that beating, pressing, and other physical processes significantly influenced the fiber properties, whereas the effects of sizing were minor. Significant changes of water retention value (WRV), crystallinity index, and paper strength were observed after those processes. Further, an effort has been made to show relationships between pore structure and macroscopic properties (WRV, crystallinity index) of recycled fibers.

متن کاملStructural Changes in Cellulose during Papermaking and Recycling
Recent advances in understanding the structure of cellulose are used as the basis for analyzing the structural changes that occur in pulp fibers during papermaking, particularly in the drying stage. These changes are responsible for the degradation of papermaking properties, and they must be reversed during recycling if the maximum papermaking potential of the virgin fibers is to be recovered. ...
