  1. 1. Asthma and cancer among pulp and paper mill workers

    Författare :Eva Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; epidemiology; pulp and paper industry; irritant-induced asthma; gassings; cancer; sulfate mills; sulfite mills; maintenance work; brain tumors; glioma; lung cancer; asbestos;

    Sammanfattning : There were two main aims of this thesis. One was to study if repeated high exposures to irritant gases give rise to new-onset asthma, and the other was to study if exposure in pulp and paper mills were associated with cancer. LÄS MER

  2. 2. The initial phase of sodium sulfite pulping of softwood : A comparison of different pulping options

    Författare :Raghu Deshpande; Ulf Germgård; Pedro Fardim; Karlstads universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Activation energy; acid sulfite pulping; bisulfite pulping; cellulose; delignification; dissolving pulp; extractives; glucomannan; hemicelluloses; lignin; lignin condensation; lignin carbohydrate complexes; pine; spruce; thiosulfate; total SO2; xylan; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Single stage and two-stage sodium sulfite cooking were carried out on either spruce, pine or pure pine heartwood chips to investigate the influence of several process parameters on the initial phase of such a cook down to about 60 % pulp yield. The cooking experiments were carried out in the laboratory with either a lab-prepared or a mill-prepared cooking acid and the temperature and time were varied. LÄS MER

  3. 3. The initial phase of the sodium bisulfite pulping of softwood dissolving pulp

    Författare :Raghu Deshpande; Ulf Germgård; Martin Ragnar; Karlstads universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Activation energy; bisulfite pulping; cellulose; delignification; extractives; glucomannan; hemicelluloses; lignin; pine; spruce; thiosulfate; total SO2; xylan; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The sulfite pulping process is today practised in only a small number of pulp mills around the globe and the number of sulfite mills that use sodium as the base (cation) is less than five. However, due to the increasing interest in the wood based biorefinery concept, the benefits of sulfite pulping and especially the sodium based variety, has recently gained a lot of interest. LÄS MER

  4. 4. Biorefining of lignocellulose : Detoxification of inhibitory hydrolysates and potential utilization of residual streams for production of enzymes

    Författare :Adnan Cavka; Leif J. Jönsson; John N. Saddler; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : Lignocellulosic biomass is a renewable resource that can be utilized for the production of biofuels, chemicals, and bio-based materials. Biochemical conversion of lignocellulose to advanced biofuels, such as cellulosic ethanol, is generally performed through microbial fermentation of sugars generated by thermochemical pretreatment of the biomass followed by an enzymatic hydrolysis of the cellulose.

  5. 5. Investigations on Membrane Fouling and Cleaning in Ultrafiltration Processes in Lignocellulosic Biorefineries

    Författare :Gregor Rudolph; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Membrane fouling; Membrane cleaning; Ultrafiltration; Online monitoring; Galactoglucomannan; Wood extractives; QCM-D; Lignocellulosic biomass; pulp and paper;

    Sammanfattning : The current fossil-based economy must be transformed into a bio-based circular economy. A cornerstone of this transformation is the conversion of pulp and paper mills into lignocellulosic biorefineries that allow not only the production of pulp, paper, and electricity, but also novel biochemicals.
