ABSTRACT: Water hardness, which can be defined as the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions, is known to vary greatly depending on geographical locations. Laboratory tests were carried out to evaluate effects of large differences in water hardness on the performance of certain wet-end additives to the paper machine process. Tests were carried out at hardness levels of 25, 125, and 225 ppm (as calcium carbonate equivalents). Increased water hardness was found to have a generally negative effect on the performance of a cationic acrylamide- type retention aid, although the extent of performance loss depended on experimental details. Likewise, rates of dewatering in systems containing cationic retention aid were adversely affected by increasing hardness, though the effects were not statistically significant in all cases considered. The tendency of bridge-forming flocculants (cationic retention aid or sequential addition of a cationic additive and then anionic retention aid) fell slightly with increasing water hardness.

Toward environmental resilience in pulp and paper manufacturing: Water consumption and carbon dioxide emission reductions, TAPPI Journal September 2025
ABSTRACT: Pulp and paper manufacturing is a water- and energy-intensive industrial sector, necessitating improvement of its operational efficiency, as well as reduction of emissions to the maximum extent possible. This review focuses on the reduction of water consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions that originate in the pulp and paper industry (PPI). First, process simulation and optimization techniques used for water consumption reduction are reviewed. Then, techno-economic analyses of solvent-based CO2 capture from PPI are discussed. Additionally, key actions are proposed for enhancing water consumption reduction and CO2 capture in PPI.

Evaluation of rice straw for purification of lovastatin, TAPPI Journal November 2021
ABSTRACT: Cholesterol synthesis in the human body can be catalyzed by the coenzyme HMG-CoA reductase, and lovastatin, a key enzyme inhibitor, can reduce hypercholesterolemia. Lovastatin can be obtained as a secondary metabolite of Aspergillus terreus ATCC 20542. In this study, rice straw of lignocellulose was used in aeration and agitation bath fermentation in a 1-L flask, and a maximal crude extraction rate of 473 mg/L lovastatin was obtained. The crude extract was treated with silica gel (230•400 mesh) column chromatography. Ethyl acetate/ethanol (95%) was used as the mobile phase, and isolation was performed through elution with various ethyl acetate/ethanol ratios. The highest production rate of 153 mg/L was achieved with ethyl acetate/ethanol in a ratio of 8:2. The lovastatin gained from the crude extract was added to 12 fractions treated with 0.001 N alkali, and acetone was then added. After 24 h of recrystallization at 4°C, the extract underwent high-performance liquid chromatography. The purity had increased from 25% to 84.6%, and the recovery rate was 65.2%.
