Lignin is a major component of lignocellulosic biomass and as such, it is processed in
enormous amounts in the pulp and paper industry worldwide. In such industry it mainly …

As the attraction of creating biofuels and bio-based chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass
has increased, researchers have been challenged with developing a better understanding …

Paper aging and conservation are matters of concern to those responsible for archives and
library collections. Wood-derived fibers are mainly composed of cellulose, hemicelluloses …

The various aspects of natural and accelerated ageing of cellulose and paper are presented
and discussed. Accelerated ageing constitutes the major methodological tool for the …

Deacidification refers to chemical treatments meant to slow down the acid hydrolysis and
embrittlement of books and paper documents that had been printed on acidic paper. From …

In order to investigate a synergetic role of water and oxygen in the degradation of permanent
paper in archiving climate, accelerated ageing in three different conditions was conducted …

Cellulose materials and products are frequently affected by environmental factors such as
light, temperature, and humidity. Simulated UV irradiation, heat, and moisture exposure …

The area-specific emission rates of formic acid and acetic acid from heritage objects made of
wood and paper were quantified for normal indoor room conditions (23° C, 50% RH) as well …

The study presents an overview of the chromatographic (SEC), spectroscopic (FTIR,
UV/VIS), viscometric (DP) and chemical methods (titration, pH) used for the evaluation of the …

Volatile aldehydes are produced during degradation of paper-based materials. This may
result in their accumulation in archival and library repositories. However, no systematic study …
