  1. 1. Surface functionalization of cellulose fibers and exploration of its influence in ion exchange chromatography

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Anna Wessén; [2023]
    Keywords : Ion-exchange chromatography; membrane chromatography; surface extension; grafting; copolymerization; free-radical polymerization; Jonbyteskromatografi; membrankromatografi; ytförlängning; ympning; sampolymerisation; fri radikal polymerisation;

    Abstract : Kromatografiska metoder kan användas för en mängd olika tillämpningar, inklusive separation, rening och analys av biomolekyler och kemikalier. Membrankromatografi är en av de nya kromatografiteknikerna som expanderar snabbt eftersom den tillåter hög masstransport genom den stationära fasen, vilket resulterar i en mer tidseffektiv process.

  3. 2. Study on Decolorization of Reactive-dyed Cotton through Fenton-oxidation as a Pre-treatment for Textile Recycling

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Elise Meurs; [2023]
    Keywords : Fenton-oxidation; advanced oxidation processes; decolorization; textile recycling; cotton; reactive dye;

    Abstract : In this master thesis, the feasibility of Fenton-oxidation for the decolorization of reactive dyed cotton is investigated as a potentially environmental-friendly preparatory treatment for mechanical/chemical recycling. Raw, knitted cotton is dyed with a black and a blue dye, whereafter preliminary tests are performed to investigate the influence of increasing Fenton- solution concentrations and different iron-sources on the efficiency of the discoloration, without carrying out complete optimization of the process-parameters.

  4. 3. Wet Spinning of Cellulose-Lignin Precursor for Carbon Fibers : Effect of Coagulation Bath Composition & Spin Finish

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad mekanik

    Author : Julia Sundmark; [2023]
    Keywords : Carbon fiber; Cold alkali; Cold NaOH; lignin; cellulose; wet spinning; Kolfiber; kallalkali; lignin; cellulosa; våtspinning;

    Abstract : Carbon fibers (CF) are a material with a composition of over 90% carbon, which has high mechanical properties and low density. This unique combination of properties makes it requirable in applications such as vehicles, aerospace, wind power, and space industries. Commercially made CF are made using the fossil raw material polyacrylonitrile (PAN). READ MORE

  5. 4. Incorporation of Plasticizers through Refining into Wood Pulp : A Potential Route For Bio-based Thermoplastic Materials

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Victor Eric Pierre Chartrain; [2023]
    Keywords : Cellulose; Paper; Plasticizer; Mechanical Refining; Cellulosa; Papper; Mjukgörare; mekanisk bearbetning;

    Abstract : Fibers are interesting materials alternative to replace conventional fossil-based plastics, as they are bio-based and do not lead to CO2 emissions. Due to their limited ductility, it is difficult to use them to make complex three-dimensional shapes. READ MORE

  6. 5. Modified cellulose synthesized by different deep eutectic solvents as an additive in paper making process

    University essay from Karlstads universitet

    Author : Shiniar Said Saleh; [2023]
    Keywords : green chemistry; dry strength additives; deep eutectic solvents; sodium periodate oxidation; charge density; dewatering; mechanical strength.;

    Abstract : The environmental concerns that come with the currently used traditional papermaking process where petroleum-based additives are used, has tempted researchers to study “green” additives by introducing environmentally friendly modifications of cellulose as an additive in the papermaking process. This thesis will spin further on that by producing additives with different charge densities and focus on to incorporate an etherification reaction into potentially greens systems based on non-toxic and readily biodegradable deep eutectic solvent (DES).
