Influence of Alkaline Treatment and Alkaline Peroxide Bleaching of Aspen Chemithermomechanical Pulp on Dissolved and Colloidal Substances

Abstract

Dissolved and colloidal substances (DCS) will be released during mechanical pulping and following bleaching operations. The accumulation of DCS in paper machine systems can bring various negative impacts on papermaking operations. In present study, the influence of alkaline treatment and alkaline peroxide bleaching of aspen chemithermomechanical pulp on released DCS was evaluated based on general DCS properties, lignin content, and carbohydrate and organic extractives compositions. Results showed that both treatments could promote the DCS release by increasing the concentration and cationic demand of DCS samples. However, alkaline peroxide bleaching caused the decrease in turbidity and average particle size. The total amounts of dissolved lignin, carbohydrates, and organic extractives were also increased. The dissolved lignin-related substances and carbohydrates were the predominant components of DCS. In the extractives, alkaline peroxide bleaching mainly resulted in the release of some lignin-degraded substances and a slight degradation of unsaturated fatty acids and their esters.

Carbon black reinforced magnetorheological gel enabled high-performance magneto-resistor for motor soft start-up

“…where h 0 was the initial viscosity and h 1 was the magneticinduced viscosity. So viscosity variation rate n was a dimensionless parameter and closely related with the chain structures formed by CIP [29]. With the addition of CB, the number of particles had risen drastically in per unit volume.…”

Preparation, characterization, and application of cationic xylan-based aerogel

“…In order to minimize water consumption and effluent discharge due to environmental concerns, it is required to increase the closure of whitewater systems in modern papermaking. However, large amounts of detrimental substances with high anionic charge, which are introduced with bleached high-yield pulp and deinked pulp, accumulate with the increasing closure of whitewater (Miao et al 2013(Miao et al , 2014. The anionic substances are mainly composed of galacturonic acids, glucuronic acids, oxidized lignin, fatty acids, and resin acids (Hubbe et al 2012).…”

Biological pretreatment of biomass to decrease energy consumption in mechanical defiberization process

“…Several attempts at thermal treatment and chemical treatment have been made to decrease the energy consumption. However, the resulting lignin-encased fiber has yielded unacceptably poor paper strength and increasing water treatment expense, counteracting the advantages (Liu et al 2011;Miao et al 2014). The disadvantages of chemical and thermal pulping necessitate evaluation of the potential of biological pretreatments.…”
