  4. 33. Investigation of Milled Wood Lignin Extraction Using Enzymatic Hydrolysis for Application in Hydrophobic Barriers in the Food Packaging Industry

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Anna Wagne; [2023]
    Keywords : Lignin; extraction; hydrophobicity; chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The objective of this report is twofold: to optimise the extraction method of lignin from spruce altering a few process parameters and to investigate the use of lignin as a hydrophobic barrier in food applications. The process used was STEX (steam explosion) pretreatment followed by enzymatic hydrolysis and MWL (milled wood lignin) extraction using a mixture of dioxane-water. READ MORE

  5. 34. The restoration period : a new era in forestry

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Ester Andersson; [2023]
    Keywords : historical forest management; past logging; restoration;

    Abstract : In the last 200 years the boreal forests of Sweden have undergone a dramatic transformation. After a long history of high grading the largest trees foresters grew increasingly concerned about the state of logged over forests. The big question was how to regenerate and increase the productivity of sparse forests. READ MORE

  6. 35. Identification of Fibers in Micro-CT Images of Paperboard Using Deep Learning

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Hållfasthetslära; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

    Author : David Rydgård; [2023]
    Keywords : Fiber networks; Paperboard mechanics; Deep learning; Tomography; Image analysis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This master thesis project explores the possibility of using deep learning to segment individual fibers in three-dimensional tomography images of paperboard fiber networks. We test a method which has previously been used to segment fibers in images of glass fiber reinforced polymers. READ MORE
