摘要:
Provided are compositions and methods of deacidifying a cellulose-based material. The compositions include a hydrohalo-olefin and a deacidification agent dispersed within the hydrohalo-olefin. Cellulose-based materials are contacted with the composition for a sufficient time to increase the pH of the material.

The present invention is directed towards a low energy method for the preparation of nanocellulose using selected organic or inorganic swelling agents. The use of these swelling agents allows opening up the intercrystalline structure and partially the intracrystalline structure of cellulosic materials thereby achieving a reduction in the energy required to subsequently process the resultant swollen cellulose material into nanocellulose.
摘要:
The invention relates to a composition comprising a mixture of a silica compound and an alkaline earth metal oxide or alkaline earth metal hydroxide in an aqueous solvent, characterised in that the silica compound and the alkaline earth metal oxide or alkaline earth metal hydroxide together form the major part of the non-solvent matter of the composition. The invention also relates to a method for producing said composition comprising adding an alkaline earth metal oxide or alkaline earth metal hydroxide and a silica compound to an aqueous medium to form an aqueous mixture, and allowing said aqueous mixture to stand. The invention also relates to a method for treating cellulosic fibres using said composition.
摘要:
The present invention is generally directed to a tissue product with improved flushability. Specifically, the incorporation of both a temporary wet strength agent and an alkaline reagent into the tissue product results in the tissue product having high initial wet tensile strength and a high rate of wet tensile loss. The high rate of wet tensile loss is caused by the high pH of the alkaline reagent that is incorporated during the dry end of a tissue manufacturing process. The temporary wet strength agent is added in the wet end of a tissue manufacturing process. In certain embodiments of the present invention, glyoxylated polyacrylamide may be used as the temporary wet strength agent, while the alkaline reagent may be in dry form or may be encapsulated.
摘要:
The invention describes a process for preparing a buffer solution in a papermaking process wherein the buffer solution is used for controlling the alkalinity, pH and/or hardness of a process stream, e.g. an aqueous pulp suspension, in the papermaking process. In one embodiment of the invention the basic substance, sodium hydroxide, 1 and water 2 is fed together in a mixer 3 to get a diluted sodium hydroxide containing aqueous solution. The acidic substance, carbon dioxide, 4 in the gaseous phase is introduced in the dissolver 5. In the dissolver 5 the gaseous carbon dioxide is dissolved in a re-circulated buffer solution 6. The aqueous solution containing diluted sodium hydroxide is fed to the dissolver 5 too. The re-circulated buffer solution 6, which is withdrawn from the reactor 7 and pumped by the pump 8 into the dissolver 5, is buffered by sodium bicarbonate, which is formed in the reactor 7. Thereby the pH of the re-circulated buffer solution is according to the invention below 7.5 at all the time when the basic or acidic substances where mixed together. The re-circulated flow of the buffer solution 6 prevent a local increase of the pH above 7.5 due to the introduction of the sodium hydroxide containing aqueous solution and thereby the precipitation of calcium carbonate. The pH is always below 7.5 when carbon dioxide is introduced. The sodium bicarbonate containing buffer solution is created in the reactor 7 where bicarbonate ions are formed. The resulting bicarbonate ions containing buffer solution 9 is supplied to the main process stream, the aqueous pulp suspension, for controlling the alkalinity, pH and/or hardness.
