Deposits can affect the in-furnace wall surface temperature in a Kraft recovery furnace. In CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) models of the Kraft recovery furnace, the wall surface temperature is frequently used as the heat-transfer boundary condition. Therefore, the effect of deposits must be taken into account in CFD models. In this work, CFD simulations of a Kraft recovery furnace were perf...

Agent-based architectures are an effective method for constructing open, dynamic, distributed information systems. The KRAFT system exploits such an architecture, focusing on the exchange of information -in the form of constraints and data -among participating agents. The KRAFT approach is particularly wellsuited to solving design and configuration problems, in which constraints and data are re...

Paper sheets from Iranian olive tree produced by soda, sulphite and kraft pulping.Then the influence of pulp beating on properties of paper sheets was studied. Kraft pulp exhibited the highest holocellulose/yield -cellulose/yield ratios and the sulphite pulp the soda pulp the highest lignin/yield ratio. Paper sheets from kraft with the breaking length 5851 m, stretch 4.61%, Burst index 4.48 KN/...

The perspective of the article is to explore kraft cooking at the limits of delignification, i.e. what degree of delignification is needed to obtain fibre liberation and what is the maximum degree of delignification possible in the kraft pulping stage. The reasons for the quite narrow boundaries for sufficient and maximum delignification are explained, and the differences between the behaviour ...
