  1. 1. Analysis and Valorization of Bark from Silver Birch, Scots Pine, and Norway Spruce : Compositional analysis of bark from common Swedish trees in forestry, to optimize sustainability procedures and monetary value of bark residue

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Isak Lindbäck; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Silver birch, Scots pine, and Norway spruce are the three most common types of trees in Sweden and make up to 90% of standing volume in Swedish forests (Skogsstyrelsen 2015, 3). With millions of cubic meters of wood being cut down annually, bark and other residues that cannot be used for sawn timber is left over and burnt for energy. READ MORE

  3. 2. Reactivity increasement of prehydrolysis kraft pulp from Acacia crassicarpa and Eucalyptus hybrids

    University essay from KTH/Träkemi och massateknologi

    Author : Edward Tandy; [2022]
    Keywords : Acacia crassicarpa; Eucalyptus hybrids; Pentosan removal; Pulp yield; Prehydrolysis kraft pulp; Reactivity; Acacia crassicarpa; Eucalyptushybrider; Förhydrolyserad kraftmassa; Massautbyte; Pentosan; Reaktivitet;

    Abstract : Syftet med detta examensarbete var att öka reaktiviteten hos förhydrolyserad kraftmassa genom att använda tidigare förhydrolysat och svavelsyra under förhydrolysen. Först bestämdes den kemiska sammansättningen av två olika vedråvaror (Acacia crassicarpa och Eucalyptushybrider) för att observera och korrelera med förhydrolysprocessen. READ MORE

  5. 4. The Influence of pH, Temperature and Number of Wash Steps on the Washing Efficiency of CTMP Pulp

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Avdelningen för kemiteknik

    Author : André Monlars; [2021]
    Keywords : Mechanical pulp; Chemi-thermomechanical pulp; Picea abies; Extractives; Wood resin; Deresination; Washing; Mekanisk massa; Kemitermomekanisk massa; Picea abies; Extraktivämnen; Tvättning;

    Abstract : In this report, the washing efficiency of chemi-thermomechanical pulp (CTMP) from Norway spruce (Picea abies) was investigated when adjusting the temperature and pH during washing as well as implementing different number of wash steps. Concurrent effects of having a high pH and temperature were also examined. READ MORE

  6. 5. Method Development for Evaluating Pitch Dispersing Agents Used in the Kraft Pulping Process

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Emma Olsson Månsson; [2020]
    Keywords : pitch deposit; dispersing agent evaluation; method development; calcium soaps;

    Abstract : Depending on wood species and the extractives of the wood, the paper and pulp processes might suffer from problems caused by the formation of pitch deposits from calcium soaps. BIM Kemi is a specialty chemical producer supplying the pulp and paper industry with dispersing agents, which prevent these problems. READ MORE
