Several different enzymatic, chemical and mechanical methods have been developed for the isolation of lignin from wood and pulp. However, due to the heterogeneous nature of wood and pulp fibers and the heterogeneity that exists between individual fibers, no method is currently available for the quantitative isolation of native or residual lignin without the risk of structural changes during the...

The decolouration of fermentation residues (vinasse) and liquid extract of coffee pulp by the mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus was studied in addition to laccase activity. The fungus was inhibited in both residues when they remained undiluted. In submerged cultivation on wastewaters a good production of biomass (14.8 g/l for vinasse and 5.4 g/l for extract of coffee pulp) and also laccase activity ...

ABSTRACT The complicated chemical processes that occur during peroxide bleaching of pulp may be monitored by analysis of the dissolved substances in peroxide bleaching pressates with UV-visible spectroscopy. Sample preparation using filtration, pH adjustment and data manipulation assist in the extraction of information using UV absorbance spectroscopy. This information may be used to model pero...

The extraction of hemicelluloses prior to pulping is an attractive process to be incorporated in the pulp and paper mills to generate valuable by-products such as xylose and xylo-oligomers in addition to core products. This paper investigates the impact of xylan extraction by dilute acid on cooking conditions, pulp yield and properties during kraft and soda-AQ pulping of Eucalyptus grandis wood...

Pulp and paper waste water is one of the major sources of industrial water pollution. This study tested the suitability of ceramic tubular membrane technology as an alternative to conventional waste water treatment in the pulp and paper industry. In this context, in series batch and semi-batch membrane processes comprising microfiltration, ultrafiltration and nanofiltration, ceramic membranes w...

Chemical composition in different parts of banana pulp was determined. Ash and protein mean concentrations in the central part of the pulp were higher than in the medium part, and these were higher than those in the external part. The mean concentrations of the fiber (total and non-soluble) in the central part were higher than those found in the other parts. Ascorbic acid behaved inversely; the...

Transition metal ion has been receiving a great attention in the recent years, as the high concentration of toxic metal ions. This paper deals with short review and to study the various types of transition metals present in waste water released from Pulp and Paper effluents. These are being constantly poured into the environment, which result in the long lasting bio-hazards in the aquatic eco-s...

The aim of the present work is to obtain a chemical-mechanical pulp (CMP) from poplar wood with improved properties, to be used in packing papers in place of more expensive softwood or hardwood pulp. For improving the CMP quality indicators, a preliminary treatment of the pulp has been carried out with a mixture of oxidizing enzymes produced from Phanerochaete chrysosporium, including lignin pe...

utilization of long fiber chemical pulp to enhance the strength properties of mechanical and chemi-mechanical pulp is served as a common approach by the papermakers. therefore softwood long fibers were exposed to chemical modification by cationic agent, eptmac, with the aim of reducing its consumption. then, the cationised fibers were mixed with cmp pulp with given ratios and the handsheets wer...

Pulpal inflammation can result from mechanical, chemical, or bacterial insult. The initial vascular reactions during inflammation in the dental pulp are vasodilation and increased vascular permeability. These vascular reactions are induced by activation of sensory nerve endings of C-fiber. This condition is called neurogenic inflammation. The inflammatory process in the pulp does not differ sig...
