in this study the effect of nano sized silica particles (nano-sio2) on the physical and mechanical properties of rice husk and old corrugated container (occ)-cement boards was investigated. modulus of rupture (mor), modulus of elasticity (moe), internal bonding strength (ib), density, water absorption and thickness swelling after 24 hours immersion in water and hardness were measured. results s...

the kinetics of old corrugated container (occ) soda-oxygen delignification was investigated. three delignification temperatures (145,165 and 175ºc) were applied. the pulping duration was adjusted at 150 minutes and the measurements were conducted at 10 minutes intervals. the pulping consistency, oxygen pressure and active alkali were constant at 10%, 6 bar and 18% naoh respectively in all pulpi...

Abstract This paper develops a novel additive for effectively recycling old corrugated container (OCC) by functionalizing nanocellulose (NC) with diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) and chitosan (CS), investigate the reinforcing mechanisms effect of developed on physical properties recycled OCC pulp handsheets. The tensile, tear burst index, air permeability, tensile energy absorption (TE...

As an alternative raw material for various cellulose derivatives, the current research studied processing of old corrugated container (OCC) in subsequent stages homogenization (soda cooking) and purification (bleaching with hypochlorite). The properties were characterized four different categories including chemical composition or purity, accessibility, reactivity, structural features. Alkali d...

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 analyze...

the properties of alkaline sulfite anthraquinone (as/aq) pulp from old corrugated container (occ)was studied. in each trial 100 grams (based on dry weigth) of occ and 18% active alkali was used.three levels of anthraquinone (0.0.1 and 0.2% based on dry weigth of the occ) and two pulpingtimes (120 and 150 minutes at maximum pulping temperature) were applied. pulping temperature,na2so3/naoh ratio...

upgrading recycled fiber properties has been a constant concern in pulp and paper industry. in this respect many researches has been applied. the present paper has been considered the effect of amylase enzyme in pulping stage of old corrugated container (occ). also, pre-soaking of occ (first step of pre-soaking for 6 hours in 3% consistency in different ph(s) and second step of pre-soaking at 6...
