1. Breaking the chains : A technological and industrial transformation beyond papermaking: Technology management of incumbents
Sammanfattning : In recent years, the necessity and opportunity for transforming pulp and paper mills into integrative units for large-scale output of biochemicals, biomaterials, and biofuels have come up in discussions of industrial renewal in the Northern hemisphere (mainly in Canada, Sweden and Finland). This transformation is related to technology shifts as well as changing business models based on new bioproducts due to profoundly new market conditions. LÄS MER
2. Towards low-emitting and sustainable particle and fibreboards : Formaldehyde emission test methods and adhesives from biorefinery lignins
Sammanfattning : High volumes, fast production speed, and low material costs have been historically the driving factors of the particle- and fibreboard industries. However, in recent years the fossil-fuel dependency and health issues of the formaldehyde-containing adhesives used in the production have gained attention from both legislators and consumers.

3. The initial phase of the sodium bisulfite pulping of softwood dissolving pulp
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. Birch xylan modification by lactide grafting
Sammanfattning : The wood based biorefinery concept has led to an increasing interest in the possibility of using hemicelluloses as a source for value added products. Hemicelluloses are dissolved in large amounts in the process liquor during kraft pulping. LÄS MER
5. The initial phase of sodium sulfite pulping of softwood : A comparison of different pulping options
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
