    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method for controlling thermoplasticity and toughness of a redox-modified plant fiber, comprising following steps: (1) pretreating a plant fiber; (2) obtaining an oxidation-modified plant fiber by adding an oxidant solution, then filtering, and washing; and obtaining the redox-modified plant fiber by adding a reductant solution, then filtering, and washing; and (3) fully mixing a plasticizer with the redox-modified plant fiber; the plasticizer being a hydroxyl plasticizer, an ionic liquid plasticizer, a deep eutectic solvent, an ester plasticizer, an amine plasticizer, a glycidyl plasticizer, or an inorganic salt plasticizer. The method according to the present disclosure can improve the toughness of the redox-modified plant fiber material, reduce the processing temperature of the plant fiber material, and broaden the processing window of the plant fiber material.

    摘要: A method of producing high yield chemical cellulosic pulp includes: (a) chemically pulping wood chips to separate lignin and liberate cellulosic fibers from the wood chips to generate a cellulosic pulp; (b) washing and screening the pulp of step (a); (c) pre-treating the washed pulp with oxygen; (d) optionally washing the treated pulp of step (c); (e) bleaching the pre-treated pulp in an extended duration oxidative bleaching stage; (f) optionally washing the bleached pulp of step (e); and (g) optionally further oxidatively or reductively bleaching the bleached pulp in a shorter duration bleaching stage, wherein the bleached pulp is produced at a yield of greater than 60% based on the weight of the pulped wood chips (dry basis).

    摘要: Provided is a method that, when pulp fibers are recovered from used absorbent articles that have been put into collection bags, makes it possible to safely and sanitarily crush the used absorbent articles while suppressing costs. A method for recovering pulp fibers from used absorbent articles, the method comprising: a crushing step (S12) in which collection bags (A) in which used absorbent articles have been sealed are put into a container (65), the collection bags in the container are transferred to a crushing device (12) that communicates with the container, and, bag by bag, the crushing device crushes the used absorbent articles in the collections bags in a deactivating aqueous solution; and a separation step (S13) in which the pulp fibers, a highly water-absorbent polymer, and the deactivating aqueous solution are separated from the crushed product and deactivating aqueous solution obtained in the crushing step.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to a method for reducing volatile organic compounds (VOC) from wood chips for wood fibre production in a processing system, at least comprising the following consecutive steps: a first thermal treatment of the wood chips in a first thermal treatment device, which is designed to receive VOC-containing waste gases; cleaning the wood chips in a washing device; a second thermal treatment of the wood chips in a second thermal treatment device, which is designed to receive and separate VOC-containing waste gases; digesting the wood chips in a digester, which is designed to receive and separate VOC-containing waste gases; and crushing the wood chips in a refiner, which is designed to separate VOC-containing waste gases. This allows for an efficient, and thus energy-optimised or environmentally friendly and therefore also cost-optimised reduction of volatile organic compounds from wood chips.

    摘要: There is provided a method for separation of fibers in for instance recycled textile, starting with a mixture comprising cellulose fibers and non-cellulose fibers and then reducing the cellulose chain length of the cellulose fibers so that the limiting viscosity number determined according to ISO 5351 is in the interval 200-900 ml/g, mechanically breaking agglomerates of fibers into smaller pieces, adjusting the concentration of fibers to 0.1-4 wt %, and subjecting the mixture to flotation to remove the non-cellulose fibers. Non-cellulosic fibers such as synthetic fibers can be removed very specifically without or essentially without removing cellulose fibers in the mixture. This gives a very high degree of removal and simultaneously the yield is kept high because no or only few cellulose fibers are removed.
