Galactoglucomannan (GGM) from spruce was studied with respect to the degradation
behavior in alkaline solution. Three reference systems including galactomannan from locust …

The perspective of the article is to explore kraft cooking at the limits of delignification, ie what
degree of delignification is needed to obtain fibre liberation and what is the maximum …

In this study, coffee husk waste, a lignocellulosic by-product, was used to prepare
regenerated cellulose (RC) by dissolving holocellulose (HC) in NaOH/Urea/Thiourea/Water …

Comparison of industrial and laboratory pulps from Pinus radiata showed higher energy
requirement and lower tear index at the same tensile strength in the case of industrial pulps …

This study proposes an ambient-temperature synthesis of highly porous carbon–silica
composite aerogels (C-Si aerogel) made using kapok fibers. Effects of the fiber's volume in …

Pulp refining is one of the most fundamental operations in paper manufacturing. Although
this fact is fully recognized by the great majority of papermakers, the ways to evaluate and to …

Rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) is a fast-growing wood species valued for its latex production.
The wood could serve as a suitable resource for pulping after latex extraction. However …

The characteristics of the pulps, in particular their chemical and anatomical characteristics,
are discussed in this chapter with special attention to the relationships between the …

In this chapter, a brief history of the use of wood as a source of fiber is presented, in addition
to considerations on the use of wood with special attention to eucalyptus woods and …

The kraft process remains the dominant chemical pulping process but still struggles with
extensive hemicellulose degradation. Such degradation has previously been mitigated …
