Biphasic 1-butanol/water delignification of miscanthus for manufacturing papermaking pulp, TAPPI Journal August 2026

ABSTRACT: Miscanthus has emerged as a promising nonwoody fiber source for papermaking and fiber molding as the world has sought alternatives to wood-based products. A diverse range of chemistries have been explored at the laboratory scale to turn nonwoody biomass into fibers; however, few have been successful at pilot or commercial scales. An emerging organosolv delignification chemistry that has demonstrated previous technical success is butanol/water, having been shown to produce papers with similar properties to other, more conventional chemistries, but offering the benefit of a built-in sugar and lignin coproduct separation. While a range of fiber lengths were achieved (0.45•0.95 mm), addition of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to the butanol/water delignification chemistry resulted in fiber lengths comparable to commercially available hardwood pulps (0.7•1.0 mm). Lignin concentration was reduced from 19.1 wt% in the raw miscanthus to under 3.5 wt% for most trials. The lowest lignin concentration (2.5 wt%) was achieved at 180°C for 180 min with 50:50 butanol:water and 2 wt% acetic acid. Yet, the high severity of this condition (and similar ones) resulted in a significant truncation of fiber length, which is detrimental for papermaking applications. The highest quality pulp for papermaking was generated at 180°C for 180 min with 50:50 butanol:water and 10 wt% NaOH. This pulp had one of the longest fiber lengths, the highest brightness, and the highest hemicellulose concentration. Thus, butanol/water delignification, especially with NaOH addition, resulted in the successful production of cellulose-rich pulps that have potential in commercial papermaking and fiber molding applications.

Utilization of kraft pulp mill residuals, TAPPI Journal February 2022

ABSTRACT: Kraft pulp mills produce on average about 100 kg of solid residuals per metric ton of pulp produced. The main types of mill waste are sludge from wastewater treatment plants, ash from hog fuel boilers, dregs, grits, and lime mud from causticizing plants and lime dust from lime kilns. Of these, about half is disposed of in landfills, which highlights the need and potential for waste recycling and utilization. Sludge is either incinerated in hog fuel boilers to generate steam and power or used in various forms of land application, including land spreading, composting, or as an additive for landfill or mine waste covers. The majority of hog fuel boiler ash and causticizing plant residues is landfilled. Alkaline residuals can be conditioned for use in land application, manufacture of construction materials, and production of aggregates for road work. This technical review summarizes residuals utilization methods that have been applied in pulp and paper mills at demonstration- or full-scale, and therefore may act as a guide for mill managers and operators whose goal is to diminish the costs and the environmental impact of waste management.

Preparing prehydrolyzed kraft dissolving pulp via phosphotungstic acid prehydrolysis from grape branches, TAPPI Journal January 2022

ABSTRACT: Dissolving pulp was successful prepared via phosphotungstic acid (PTA) prehydrolysis kraft (PHK) cooking followed by an elementary chlorine-free (ECF) bleaching process from grape branches. The effects of prehydrolysis temperature, reaction time, and PTA concentration that potentially affect the quality of dissolving pulp product on chemical components of pulp were studied via an orthogonal experiment. The structure of lignin was activated during the PTA prehydrolysis phase, and lignin was easily removed during the following cooking process. Thus, relatively mild conditions (140°C, 100 min) can be used in the cooking process. During the prehydrolysis phase, temperature exhibited the most significant influence on the cellulose purity of the obtained pulp fiber, followed by reaction time and PTA concentration. The optimized prehydrolysis conditions were as follows: prehydrolysis temperature, 145°C; reaction time, 75 min; and PTA concentration, 1 wt%. Whether the excessively high prehydrolysis temperature or prolonging the reaction time did not favor the retention of long chain cellulose, the delignification selectivity for the cooking process could not be further improved by excessive PTA loading. Under these prehydrolysis conditions, 94.1% and 29.0% for a-cellulose content and total yield could be achieved after the given cooking and bleaching conditions, respectively. Moreover, the chemical structure and crystal form of cellulose were scarcely changed after PTA prehydrolysis, which could be confirmed by results from Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). PTA prehydrolysis could be considered as an alternative method for preparing PHK dissolving pulp under relatively mild cooking conditions.
