Water and grease resistance of paperboard coated with long chain cellulose fatty acid esters using electrostatic powder coating, TAPPI Journal April 2026

ABSTRACT: Fiber-based materials used for foodservice, takeaway, and other packaging applications must typically provide water and grease resistance. Simultaneously, there is growing interest towards bio-based and renewable barrier coatings. In this study we applied thermoplastic long chain fatty acid cellulose esters onto paperboard using electrostatic powder coating to create barrier properties of interest. Electrostatic powder coating provides a water-free process to tackle moisture-induced quality issues and to provide an even coating layer. Cellulose octanoate and palmitate esters were produced in pilot scale. These were ground into fine particles using liquid nitrogen and applied onto paperboard sheets using an electrostatic powder gun. The loosely packed coatings were fixed and fused onto the paperboard by hot pressing. We characterized the coated sheets for coating thickness, contact angles with water, water absorption, grease resistance (KIT), and olive oil barrier. Two commercial polyethylene powders were used as references. Our results indicated that the long chain cellulose fatty acid ester coatings were thermoplastic and hydrophobic with contact angles above 100°. Water absorption was similar to the reference coatings. While grease resistance was lower than with the references, the cellulose ester coatings slowed down diffusion of olive oil through the paperboard. Cellulose octanoate ester with a lower melt viscosity already provided smooth coatings after the initial hot pressing step, while in most cases, the second post hot pressing step further improved the barrier properties.

Optimization of energy efficiency and condensate production in evaporation plants for a modern softwood pulp mill, TAPPI Journal April 2026

ABSTRACT: To meet the need to further improve thermal efficiency and environmental performance of kraft pulp mills, new systems and techniques have been developed within the evaporation plant. This paper describes these novel approaches and how they were implemented in a project completed in 2018 for a new evaporator and condensate treatment system supplied by Valmet at the SCA Östrand market pulp mill in Sweden. This project was part of a stepwise upgrade of the complete mill to increase the production capacity of the mill from 430,000 to 900,000 air-dried metric tons/year (ADt/y). As part of this upgrade, the mill had the objectives to increase the energy efficiency of the pulp mill and to minimize the air emissions as much as possible, the effluent volume, and the water usage in the mill. The mill also wanted to have the disposal of the biosludge in the black liquor, and the production of tall oil from black liquor soap, liquid methanol, and turpentine. This required that the new evaporation and condensate treatment system be very closely integrated into the other process departments of the mill, including integration of the hot weak black liquor flash vapor from the digester directly into the evaporator train and the production of multiple streams of clean evaporation plant condensate at the correct temperature for the bleach plant. Heat and mass balance calculation values, which were found to do very well in predicting the effect on actual mill operation, are also presented in this paper.
