Sustainable pulp production from agricultural waste

Determination of Phenolic Hydroxyl Groups in Technical Lignins by Ionization Difference Ultraviolet Spectrophotometry (∆ε-IDUS method)

“…The milox process is a multi-stage pulping process with peroxyformic acid and formic acid treatment stages [27,28]. Table 1 shows the variability of results in determining the phenolic hydroxyl content in Indulin AT lignin by different methods and the same method by different authors.…”

Comparative properties of bagasse, canola and hemp particle boards

“…At present some agricultural residues such as wheat and rice straws, sorghum stalks and some annual plants such as hemp and jute are used as raw materials for pulp and paper production (Rousu and Anttila 2002;Ashori 2006;Schöpper et al 2009). Moreover numerous studies have been performed to introduce new lignocellulosic resources for paper and wood industries.…”

Improving the performance of local manufactured paperboard

“…Low bulk density, short fiber and high content of fines are the most important features [12].Other disadvantages include transportation and storage problems; comparatively high silica content; very quick degradation (high losses) [13]. Pretreatments aim at rendering the non-wood fibrous raw materials more suitable for the pulping and papermaking process or even to improve the digestibility of this important lignocelluloses biomass for the production of the biofuel and other value added chemicals.…”
