Assessing lignin content in Nordic hardwood and softwood species using models based on near-infrared (NIR) spectral data and partial least squares regression (PLSR), TAPPI Journal September 2025

ABSTRACT: Continuous kraft cooking digesters face challenges affecting product quality, making it valuable to improve control through advanced techniques like near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, model predictive control, and machine learning models. The primary goal of this study was to use NIR spectra to predict the amount of lignin in hardwood and softwood samples. This study investigated the correlation of NIR derivative spectra with the amounts of lignin relative to other constituents, namely cellulose, hemicellulose, and water, in wood chip samples of varying chip sizes and shapes from six Nordic wood species. It employed partial least squares regression (PLSR) on the NIR data to construct a model that predicted the lignin fraction and the relative fraction of acid-soluble lignin. When trained on a group of five wood species, the model achieved a satisfactory predictive ability, striking a balance between a wide range of lignin content and a consistent chemical environment. The accuracy increased further when the model was restricted only to spruce and pine, reflecting the benefits of a more homogenous dataset. Additionally, the optimal number of latent variables was identified as two, indicating that three distinct chemical components — cellulose, lignin and water — can be effectively differentiated using NIR.

Incorporation of post-consumer pizza boxes in the recovered fiber stream: Impacts of grease on finished product quality, TAPPI Journal March 2021

ABSTRACT: Grease and cheese contamination of used pizza boxes has led to misunderstanding and controversy about the recyclability of pizza boxes. Some collection facilities accept pizza boxes while others do not. The purpose of this study is to determine whether typical grease or cheese contamination levels associated with pizza boxes impact finished product quality. Grease (from vegetable oil) and cheese are essentially hydrophobic and in sufficiently high concentration could interfere with interfiber bonding, resulting in paper strength loss.Findings from this study will be used to determine the viability of recycling pizza boxes at current and future con-centrations in old corrugated containers (OCC) recovered fiber streams. These findings will also be used to inform the acceptability of pizza boxes in the recycle stream and educate consumers about acceptable levels of grease or cheese residue found on these recycled boxes.

Extension of a steady-state chlorine dioxide brightening model for Z-ECF bleaching of softwood kraft pulps, TAPPI Journal March 2021

ABSTRACT: Earlier studies developed a steady-state model to predict the brightness and/or bleach consumption during the chlorine dioxide brightening (D1) of softwood pulps produced by conventional elemental-chlorine-free (ECF) sequences. This model relates the chlorine dioxide consumed to the brightness gains predicated upon an asymptotic D1 brightness limit, an incoming D1 pulp brightness, and an equation parameter (ß11). The current investigation examines the application of this model to ECF sequences that use ozone delignification (Z-ECF). Literature D1 data from various Z-ECF bleaching studies, which investigated OZ, OD0/Z, and OZ/D0 delignification, were fitted to the model. The ß11 parameter was found to be linearly correlated to the entering kappa number. Interestingly, this linear relationship was found to be identical to the relationships observed when modeling the D1 stage for conventional ECF and chlorine-based bleach sequences. Subtle differences in D1 brightening response in the model among the various bleach sequences are reflected by incoming pulp brightness (at the same kappa number). The current model is used to illustrate how alterations to Z-ECF delignification affect D1 brightening and chlorine dioxide consumption.
