the effect of bleaching with sodium hypochlorite, as one of the most important parameters in obtaining optimal alpha cellulose pulp from cotton linter was studied. in this respect, unbleached cotton linter pulp was prepared from parchin chemical industry co., bleached by hea sequence in ph=9, 11 and 13; and then its chemical structures properties such as alpha cellulose, degree of polymerizatio...

The influences of pulp type, content of acidic groups (i.e., sulfonic and carboxylic groups) in CTMP, kappa number (i.e., residual lignin content) of unbleached kraft pulp, and beating degree of bleached kraft pulp on the conductivity of polyaniline (PAn)-coated conductive paper were investigated. The amounts of PAn coated on chemical pulps were higher than those coated on high yield pulps, and...

The performance of regenerated cellulose (RC) films and capsules was investigated for their applications in oral controlled drug delivery. Regenerated cellulose films were prepared by non-solvent-mediated, phase inversion of native and depolymerized cotton linter solutions (methylolcellulose; cellulose dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide/ paraformaldehyde solvent system) in water as well as by phas...

Cellulose triacetate prepared from bacterial cellulose of Acetobacter xylinum subsp. sucrofermentans BPR3001A showed a higher degree of polymerization and higher mechanical strength than that from the cotton linter. The fine fibrils of bacterial cellulose required only a short time for acetylation which preserved the high degree of polymerization.

Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) nanofibers were isolated from unbleached and bleached pulp by a combination of chemical and mechanical treatments. The chemical methods were based on NaOH-AQ (anthraquinone) and three-stage bleaching (DEpD) processes, whereas the mechanical techniques involved refining, cryo-crushing, and highpressure homogenization. The size and morphology of the obtained fibers wer...

Abstract Several eucalyptus pulps (85% of cellulose) with different lignin and HexA content (unbleached, TCF ECF) as well cotton linters (97% were treated ozone (at pH doses) in order to modify its fibre-components. Special interest was given the introduction functional groups carbohydrates. The presence these mainly identified by chain scissions due carbonyl (CS C=O ) produced cellulose during...

Porous regenerated cellulose (RC) membranes were prepared with cotton linter pulp as a raw material. These membranes were first oxidized on both sides by a modified (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPO) oxidation system using a controlled oxidation reaction technique. Then, the oxidized RC membranes were functionalized with polyethylenimine (PEI) via the glutaraldehyde crosslinking me...

This study investigated the use of cotton linter fiber as a raw material for manufacturing carboxymethylated cellulose nanofiber (CM-CNF). Cotton mixed pulp (CLMP) and hardwood bleached kraft (HwBKP) were used preparing carboxymethlyated (CMC) based on degree carboxymethylation (CM) considering dosage sodium hydroxide: monochloroacetic acid: low high CMs. After CM reactions, we evaluated length...

The effects of the Fenton reagent on recycled unbleached pulp in the absence and presence of a model chemical contaminant, the p-hydroxybenzoic acid (HBA), were studied. In the absence of HBA, the Fenton system clearly modified the chemical and papermaking properties of the pulp. The kappa number was reduced and the specific light absorption coefficient was increased, indicating lignin modifica...
