1. Xylan reactions in kraft cooking and their influence on paper sheet properties
Sammanfattning : Xylan is the main hemicellulose in birch, eucalyptus, and most other hardwood species. During kraft pulping a series of chemical reactions and physical processes involving xylan take place. LÄS MER
2. Dissolution of cellulose for textile fibre applications
Sammanfattning : This thesis forms part of a project with the objective of developing and implementing a novel, wood-based, process for the industrial production of cellulose textile fibres. This new process should not only be cost effective but also have far less environmental impact then current processes. LÄS MER
3. Rapid measurements of the moisture content in biofuel
Sammanfattning : An increasing number of power plants in Scandinavia are beginning to use biofuel instead of coal or oil. The material in the new fuel is a mixture of woodchips, mostly Pine, Spruce and Salix, bark, GROT (tops and branches from felling waste) and sawdust from sawmills. It is heterogeneous, having a moisture content varying from 15% up to 65%. LÄS MER
4. Towards molecular weight-dependent uses of kraft lignin
Sammanfattning : There is growing demand for a more efficient use of polymers that originate from renewable feedstocks due to the depleting supply of fossil fuels, based on economic and environmental reasons. As a result, lignin has attracted renewed interest as a resource for various bioproducts. LÄS MER
