Lignocellulosic biomass is one of the most abundant organic resources worldwide and is a
promising source of renewable energy and bioproducts. It basically consists of three …

Purpose The study examines the potential of Mauritian hemp (Furcraea foetida L.), a
lignocellulosic non-wood biomass, as a more environmental friendly substitute to virgin …

The present article aims to review the influence of various biomass pretreatments on the
production of bio-based transportation fuel and chemicals via pyrolysis and …

High alkali impregnation (HAI) increases the total yield of softwood pulps following kraft
cooking. This yield improvement is also maintained after oxygen delignification. This study …

The purpose of the impregnation stage is to ensure that cooking chemicals reach all parts of
the chips. However, as alkali comes into contact with wood, reactions take place, which alter …

Wood chips from a novel type of drum chipper were compared to wood chips from a
conventional disc chipper in an evaluation based on demonstration-scale and industrial …

Pulp yield can be improved by a more homogeneous delignification of the chips, achieved
by improved impregnation prior to the cooking stage. Complete and efficient impregnation is …

Impregnation with high initial concentration is fast and efficient, leading to a homogeneous
delignification in the subsequent cook, resulting in improved screened pulp yield. To obtain …

The aim of the dissertation thesis was to carry out the operational tests of cutting tools with a
surface treated cutting edge, in order to determine the amount of wear on the cutting edge of …

This study investigated whether the yield improvement after high alkali impregnation (HAI) is
maintained after oxygen delignification and whether the potential of oxygen delignification to …
