Abstract:
The present invention relates to a battery separator, comprising cellulosic fibers of the lyocell genus, wherein the R10-value, the R18-value and the hemicellulose content of the lyocell fibers is as follows: R10 >83%, preferably >84% R18 >93%, preferably >94% Hemicellulose content
Abstract:
A process is provided for making a fluff pulp sheet, comprising contacting at least one cationic trivalent metal, salt thereof, or combination thereof with a composition comprising fluff pulp fibers and water at a first pH, to form a fluff pulp mixture; forming a web from the fluff pulp mixture; and applying at least one debonder surfactant to the web and raising the pH to a second pH, which is higher than the first pH, to make the fluff pulp sheet. A fluff pulp sheet is also provided, comprising a web comprising fluff pulp fibers; at least one cationic trivalent metal, salt thereof, or combination thereof; at least one debonder surfactant; and a fiberization energy of
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for production of an auto-adhesively bonded, porous, pressure-resistant molding made from comminuted lignocellulosic fibrous materials that are processed at temperatures between 120° C. and 180° C. and a pressure between 2 bar and 8 bar to yield a fiber suspension that is subsequently filled into a mold or applied to a carrier and dried without the addition of a synthetic binder.
Abstract:
A modified kraft pulp fiber with unique properties is provided. The modified fiber can be a modified bleached kraft fiber that is almost indistinguishable from its conventional counterpart, except that it has a low degree of polymerization (DP). Methods for making the modified fiber and products made from it are also provided. The method can be a one step acidic, iron catalyzed peroxide treatment process that can be incorporated into a single stage of a multi-stage bleaching process. The products can be chemical cellulose feedstocks, microcrystalline cellulose feedstocks, fluff pulps and products made from them.

Abstract:
The invention relates to pretreating of native cellulose pulp in the manufacture of nanofibrillated cellulose, and to a nanofibrillated cellulose product obtainable by the method.
Abstract:
A method of inhibiting the growth of bacteria in an absorbent device by using kraft pulp fiber subjected to an acidic, catalyzed peroxide treatment process incorporated into a single stage of a multi-stage bleaching process.
Abstract:
Method for making modified cellulose products comprises—processing cellulose pulp to modified cellulose pulp at a manufacturing location to increase the susceptibility of fibers to disintegration,—setting the modified cellulose pulp to a suitable dry matter content, and—transporting the modified cellulose pulp at set dry matter content to a location of use, where the modified cellulose pulp is disintegrated to nanofibrillar cellulose.
Abstract:
Irradiated lignocellulosic or cellulosic materials are provided which contain carboxylic acid groups and/or other functional groups not present in a naturally occurring cellulosic or lignocellulosic material from which the irradiated material was obtained.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a modified cellulosic fiber having reduced hydrogen bonding capabilities. The modified fiber formed in accordance with the present invention may be useful in the production of tissue products having improved bulk and softness. More importantly, the modified fiber is adaptable to current tissue making processes and may be incorporated into a tissue product to improve bulk and softness without an unsatisfactory reduction in tensile.
