Abstract Pulp refining is an essential process step prior to paper production. The contribution of fines production during the resulting strength so far has mostly been considered qualitatively. A quantitative and experimental evaluation regarding their effect not yet published. Unbleached softwood kraft pulp was refined using a PFI mill disc refiner at different intensities. Prior handsheet fo...

the oil-paper insulation is a type of an inexpensive combination insulation system in oil-filled power transformers. in this study the dielectric and strength properties of canola oil and mineral oil impregnated hand-sheet papers were investigated. all hand sheets were made of unbleached bagasse soda pulp with two different freeness levels of 200 ± 25 ml, csf and 400± 25 ml,csf. after drying th...

Value Prior to Pulping (VPP) is a novel biorefining concept for pulp mills that includes hydrolysis extraction of hemicellulose wood sugars and acetic acid from pulpwood prior to pulping. The concept involves conversion of wood sugars via fermentation to fuel ethanol or other chemicals and the use of remaining solid wood material in the pulping process. This paper provides an overview of the me...

Abstract Carbon capture and storage will play a crucial role in industrial decarbonisation. However, the current literature presents large variability techno-economic feasibility of CO 2 technologies. Consequently, reliable pathways for carbon deployment energy-intensive industries are still missing. This work provides comprehensive review state-of-the-art technologies decarbonisation iron stee...
