The Influence of the Fine Structure of Cellulose on the Action of Cellulases, TAPPI Journal June 2022
ABSTRACT: In the hydrolysis of cellulose with enzymes of Aspergillus niger at 47°C., it shown that a great decrease in the rate occurred in the late stage of the reaction, usually with considerable cellulose still reamaining undissolved.

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.

Editorial: Special issue on Paper Physics highlights continued focus on packaging, TAPPI Journal August 2025
ABSTRACT: It is a great pleasure to present this special issue of TAPPI Journal, featuring papers from the 2024 International Paper Physics Conference (IPPC) that have been peer-reviewed for publication in this journal. The conference was held in Wuppertal, Germany, from September 30 to October 2, 2024. This IPPC series is one component of the annual meeting of the International Paper Physics Committee and community, complementing the Fundamental Research Symposia established in 1957 — and the Progress in Paper Physics meetings.

19th European PLACE Conference highlights challenges of balancing sustainability with product protection, TAPPI Journal July 2025
ABSTRACT: The European PLACE (Polymers, Laminates, Adhesives, Coatings and Extrusion) Committee was founded in 2023 with the goal of continuing a biennial conference for the flexible packaging and converting industry, including converters, OEMs, raw materials suppliers, and academia. Previous iterations of the PLACE Conference were organized by TAPPI, but the new European Place Committee has now found a home within bdvi e.V. (Bund Deutscher Verpackungsingenieure), which is the Association of German Packaging Engineers, a registered nonprofit organization.

Editorial: Risks and rewards of research during a pandemic, TAPPI Journal August 2020
ABSTRACT: For universities and research institutions, the arrival of Covid-19 last spring halted activities around the world while exposing the need for detailed Public Health Emergency (PHE) plans to cope with a highly-contagious virus in laboratory and classroom settings. As classroom work switched to online platforms like Zoom, the reality set in that long-term plans were needed to safely keep students learning, research flowing, and universities financially stable.

Modeling of the energy of a smelt-water explosion in the recovery boiler dissolving tank, TAPPI Journal August 2020
ABSTRACT: The explosion energy generated as molten smelt droplets interact with water was evaluated as a function of smelt distribution, water temperature, and smelt temperature using a thermodynamic model. The results show that increasing smelt-to-water volume ratio and water temperature significantly increases the explosion energy, converting a larger proportion of the thermal energy of smelt into mechanical work. To reduce the chance of violent smelt-water explosions, it is important to: i) optimize the shatter jet design and operation to uniformly distribute the smelt over a large area in the dissolving tank; ii) avoid high green liquor temperature and ensure adequate liquor mixing; and iii) avoid upsets that may cause heavy smelt runoff or jellyroll smelt.
