  1. 21. Predictions of Pulp and Paper Properties Based on Fiber Morphology

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Sara Sundblad; [2015]
    Keywords : Pulp Refining; Tensile Index; Zero-span tensile index; Fiber Morphology; Linear Regression;

    Abstract : The aim is to investigate models that predicts the potential of pulp and evaluate the relevance of the zero-span tensile index within these. Two chemical pulps made from softwood and eucalyptus were refined in a Voith-beater with different energy input in order to study the change of fiber morphology signals and other pulp and paper properties.

  3. 23. Effect of raw material and Kraft Pulping Conditions on Characteristics of Dissolved Lignin

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Antonia Svärd; [2014]
    Keywords : Kraft pulping; softwood; eucalyptus; lignin; characterization;

    Abstract : Lignin is one of the main components in wood and during the chemical pulping processes it is degraded and dissolved into the cooking liquor. The current challenge is to meet the need for energy and raw materials, and reform to a more environmentally sustainable society, so there is a great interest in using kraft lignin as a raw material for energy, materials and as source of chemicals.

    Keywords : Eucalyptus; biomass; understory vegetation; China; nutrient content; ; fertilization;

    Abstract : An increasing demand for wood products in China has resulted in large areas invested in fast-growing tree plantations of eucalyptus. Eucalyptus plantations are often associated with an intensive management including fertilization. READ MORE

  5. 25. The influence of water proximity on land cover, tree species and tree funtionalities in a small-holder agroforestry system : a minor field study in Trans Nzoia County, NW Kenya

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Josefin Winberg; Sabina Berntsson; [2013]
    Keywords : ground truthing; tree functionality; water proximity; small-scale agriculture; agroforestry; land cover; GIS; Kenya; physical geography; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : A large and rapidly growing population in Kenya together with increasing demands put heavy pressure on the country’s resources.
