    摘要: An apparatus for dry manufacturing rigid cellulose products having essentially non-flat general shape comprising a disintegrating unit, a cellulose blank forming unit, and a product forming unit. The cellulose blank forming unit comprises a dispenser for guiding a cellulose fibre carrying air flow from the disintegrating unit, and a forming drum having an outer surface comprising perforations. The outer surface is configured for receiving cellulose fibres and forming a continuous or discontinuous cellulose blank, and comprises a first area having a first perforation density and a second area having a second perforation density less than the first perforation density for forming the cellulose blank with higher grammage at first locations originating from the first area than at second locations originating the said second area. The apparatus further comprises an air removing device arranged inside the forming drum, and a support structure for receiving the cellulose blank from the forming drum.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to adhesive compositions, including non-crosslinked resins and crosslinked/cured adhesives joining substrates, as well as related methods for making the compositions and articles. Compared to a conventional phenol (P) and formaldehyde (F) resin, the disclosed methods and compositions use lignin (L), formaldehyde (F), and optionally higher aldehydes (A) as corresponding replacements to provide an analog to a conventional PF resin with biobased reactants. Due to the differing reactivity of the LF components compared to the PF components, the initial condensation reaction between ortho-reactive sites in the lignin and the aldehyde is controlled to prevent gelation of the aqueous reaction mixture while reacting substantially all of the LF reactants to provide a non-crosslinked resin reaction product. The resin reaction product can then be cured at high temperature/high pressure conditions to provide a crosslinked adhesive, for example joining two substrates.
