Cellulose nanofibres (CNFs) can improve the quality of cardboard packaging. This work evaluates ability CNFs to impart barrier properties commercial paper used in Three were tested: mechanical (m-CNFs), by TEMPO mediated oxidation (T-CNFs) and carboxymethylated (c-CNFs). Two metering systems (wound rod blade micrometer) apply one, five 10 layers suspensions, two drying methods (hot air jet contact with a hot polished surface speed dryer) evaluated. The coated papers was measured structural...

Abstract The technical viability was investigated for the conversion of Pinus pinaster stumps to value-added products via a chain pretreatments and simultaneous saccharification fermentation (SSF) steps obtain bioethanol. Sequential steam explosion (SE), organosolv (OS) pretreatment soda-anthraquinone pulping (Na/AQ) were performed resulting in an unbleached pulp (UBP), which successfully converted SSF bioethanol with concentrations up 79 g l −1 , corresponds yield 97% productivity 1.09 h at...

This work proposes a sequential combination of steam explosion and organosolv delignification for Pinus radiata fractionation. An efficient pretreatment to fully optimize the use lignocellulosic materials is key make biorefinery profitable, especially softwoods, known be more recalcitrant than other raw materials. Steam has dual effect on biomass as morphological chemical changes are introduced. A delignifying stage been stated necessary in order ease hydrolytic enzymes accessibility...

A techno-economic study of different pretreatments lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) has been carried out: diluted sulfuric acid (DSA) pretreatment, fractionation LCB with an ethanol-water mixture (EW), and the same process liquor reuse (EWR). simplified analysis was performed considering equipment, utilities, supplies consumption, while also influence liquid to solid (L/S) ratio. The equipment cost found be similar for three alternatives, although costs were somewhat lower DSA pretreatment than...

Abstract Cellulose nanofibres (CNF) can improve the quality of cardboard packaging, a widely used renewable and recyclable material. This work evaluates ability CNF to impart barrier properties commercial paper in packaging. Three were tested: mechanical (CM), by TEMPO mediated oxidation (CT) carboxymethylated (CC). Two metering systems (wound rod blade micrometer) apply one, five 10 layers suspensions, two drying methods (hot air jet contact with hot polished surface speed dryer) evaluated....
