Soda-AQ pulping of reed canary grass
2001
Abstract Delignification of reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) was carried out by conventional soda-anthraquinone (AQ) pulping under varying conditions selected according to an orthogonal experimental design with four factors (cooking parameters) at three levels each L9 (34). The influence of these four parameters, i.e. effective alkali, EA (12, 15, and 18% on oven dried (o.d.) reed, as NaOH), maximum temperature (145, 155, and 165°C), time to maximum temperature (70, 90, and 110 min), and time at maximum temperature (0, 15, and 30 min) on the pulp properties (yield, kappa number, and viscosity) was studied. Results indicated that, with respect to delignification, EA was the most i…
FORMATION OF ALIPHATIC CARBOXYLIC ACIDS DURING ALKALINE PULPING OF MULI BAMBOO
2002
ABSTRACT A study on the formation of aliphatic carboxylic acids, i.e., formic and acetic acids and various hydroxy monocarboxylic and dicarboxylic acids, during soda-AQ, kraft, and kraft-AQ pulping of muli bamboo (Melocanna baccifera) was carried out. Detailed gas chromatographic analyses revealed that the most abundant hydroxy carboxylic acids were 2-hydroxybutanoic, lactic, glucoisosaccharinic, glycolic, xyloisosaccharinic, 3,4-dideoxypentonic, and 3-deoxypentonic acids. The presence of AQ depressed the formation of 2-hydroxybutanoic, xyloisosaccharinic, and glucoisosaccharinic acids, and accelerated the formation of glycolic and 3-deoxypentonic acids as well as 3-deoxytetronic acid but h…
