Co-pulping of Trewia nudiflora and Trema orientalis, TAPPI Journal June 2023
ABSTRACT: Trewia nudiflora, a fast-growing species, was evaluated as a pulpwood. The a-cellulose content of this species was 40.4% with a Klason lignin of 21.5%. It was characterized by shorter fibers with a thin cell wall. The pulp yield was 40% with a kappa number of 16 at the conditions of 18% active alkali charge and 30% sulfidity for 2 h cooking at 170°C. T. nudiflora was similar to Trema orientalis in anatomical, morphological, and chemical composition; therefore, mixed chips at a 50:50 mixture ratio were cooked under optimum conditions. The pulp yield of mixed chip cooking was 45.4% with a kappa number of 19.4. The tensile and tear index of T. nudiflora pulps were 64.8 Nœm/g and 11.5 kPaœm2/g at 35 °SR, respectively. The mixed chips, T. nudiflora, and T. orientalis pulps showed above 81% brightness when bleached by D0(EP)D1 sequence using 20 kg chlorine dioxide (ClO2)/ton of pulp.

Editorial: Shaping industry and career success with TAPPI Standards involvement, TAPPI Journal May 2023
ABSTRACT: Within TAPPI, there are many ways to help advance our industry and make sure it thrives for years to come. Writing a research paper for publication or acting as peer reviewer for TAPPI Journal, presenting at a conference or helping to organize one, and becoming involved in the many committees that are part of TAPPI Divisions are just some of the ways. One other very important way to contribute to our industry is through the standards development process.

Dissolution of wood components during hot water extraction of spruce, TAPPI Journal May 2023
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to investigate the autohydrolysis of softwood, which is the main chemical operation in both hot water extraction and steam explosion. Control of the process and monitoring its course were ensured by the careful choice of experimental setup and conditions: a milled spruce material was extracted in a small flow-through reactor to minimize degradation of the dissolved material and to enable analysis of the resulting liquors extracted at selected time points. The obtained liquid and solid fractions were analyzed for sugar composition and acetic acid concentration. The results showed that partially degraded hemicelluloses were extracted; hemicelluloses side chains were cleaved off and detected as monomers, while deacetylation was limited. Chain scissions of cellulose were observed as a result of autohydrolysis.
