Today, sustainability is the buzzword in the developmental parlance. This has brought the
issue of availability and utilization of energy into sharp focus. There is an urgent need to find …

Dissolved and colloidal substances (DCS) in the process waters of paper machine systems
can interfere with the retention of fine particles, retard the drainage of water from the wet …

Electrolysis of black liquor, an effluent from paper industry, was carried out and compared
with alkaline water electrolysis. Energy efficiency in terms of HHV of hydrogen was found in …

The oxygen delignification of two bamboo (Bambusa procera) kraft pulps with kappa
numbers of 13.6 and 20.0 were studied under typical conditions. Based on detailed analysis …

Cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction and the reactions at the anodic counter electrode
have been studied for black liquor electrolysis using standard electrochemical methods …

Paper production through chemical pulping has been identified as one of the ideal avenues
of exploring the uses of groundnut shells as they are rich in cellulose. Ideally, the cellulose …

The behavior of lignin during kraft (hardwood, softwood, and wheat straw) and soda-AQ
(wheat straw) pulping was studied, mainly in terms of delignification degree and molecular …

Hemicelluloses were pre-extracted from giant bamboo with dilute H2SO4 prior to Kraft and
soda AQ pulping. The reaction conditions were selected to convert most of the …

The chemical composition of black liquors obtained from the soda-AQ pulping of birch
(Betula pendula) sawdust was studied as a function of cooking time, effective alkali content …

Bamboos are a large group of rapidly growing woody grasses, that can be sustainably
managed in short-cycled harvesting schemes in many parts of the world. Bamboo stands …
