Editorial: Special coating issue contains highlighted works from TAPPICon 2023, TAPPI Journal November 2023

ABSTRACT: Did you know that TAPPI’s Coating and Graphic Arts Division has changed its name to Coating, Printing, and Surface Enhancement (CPSE) Division? This change occurred mid-year, as our members realized that the new name fits much better with the day-to-day workings of the Division, as well as the broader activities to functionalize and add value to paper and paperboard that continue to expand into new arenas.

Considerations in managing wastewater odor at pulp and paper operations, TAPPI Journal March 2022

ABSTRACT: Many pulp and paper mills are, at least periodically, faced with the release of odors that can migrate offsite and be considered a nuisance by nearby residents. At chemical pulp mills, perceptible odors associated with reduced sulfur compounds (RSCs) are common, many of which are highly perceptible owing to their low odor thresholds. As releases of RSCs and other odorous substances from production processes are progressively controlled, the proportional contribution from wastewater treatment systems to areal odors can increase. This review paper summarizes important fundamentals of odor generation, source identification, and control. Common odorous substances are identified, and mechanisms for their generation are summarized. Approaches for measuring odorous substances are detailed to enable more effective management, and various odor control strategies are discussed.

Coatings for sustainable paper-based flexible packaging: Barrier properties and processability, TAPPI Journal November 2022

ABSTRACT: In this study, the use of waterborne barrier dispersions from trademarked BLUEWAVE Mechanical Dispersion Technology as thin coatings for paper-based flexible packaging was investigated. Prototypes were designed and examined for their performance in process, rheology, barrier, heat-seal/hot-tack, and coefficient of friction (CoF). Compositional details such as the type and amount of base resins and dispersants were found to significantly impact performances and were key to the development of new prototypes that deliver the performance profiles for implementation in paper-based flexible packaging applications.
