The aim of this work was to obtain a LMS pre-treatment applicable to industrial TCF bleaching. Kraft pulp from Eucalyptus globulus was treated at 40 degrees C/pH 3 and 60 degrees C/pH 5 for 1h using an extracellular fluid enriched in laccase produced by Pycnoporus sanguineus and acetosyringone as mediator (HBT was used as a control mediator) (L). Alkaline extraction (E) and hydrogen peroxide (P) stages were then assayed. The LEP alternative was an efficient sequence to bleach kraft pulp since the enzymatic pre-treatment boosted the subsequent chemical bleaching. The best L pre-treatment was obtained with laccase-acetosyringone at 40 degrees C/pH 3. It reduces kappa number and hexenuronic acids, increases pulp viscosity, lowers hydrogen peroxide consumption down to an 87.4% (94.0% without L) and enhances brightness up to a 59% ISO (51% ISO without L).

Dataset of some added-lignin thermoformed pulps.

This data article summarizes the material properties of some added-lignin thermoformed pulps (ALTPs). This type of molded pulp is particularly suited for replacing plastics in environments, where moisture is encountered, as the lignin reduces the transport and adsorption of water. The dataset was measured on wet formed substrates with either softwood chemi-thermomechanical pulp (CTMP) or northern bleached softwood Kraft pulp (NBSK).

By reflecting on the history and environmental impact of conventional biorefining, such as kraft pulping, we aim to explore important questions about how natural polymers can be more sustainably sourced to develop bio-products and reduce reliance on plastics. Since the Industrial Revolution, chemical pulping processes have enabled the mass production of cellulosic products from woody biomass. Kraft pulping, which dominates within modern pulp and paper mills, has significantly contributed to environmental pollution and carbon emissions due to sulfurous byproducts and its high water and energy consumption.

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) receive great attention for their physical and optical properties, high surface area, high tensile strength, rigidity (Young's modulus up to 140 GPa), and ease of surface modification. However, controlling the properties of CNC is still challenging, given the wide variety of pulp sources and the complexity of finding suitable processing conditions. In the present study, acid hydrolysis efficiently isolated CNC from wood brown kraft pulp (AMKP).

China is the country with the most abundant bamboo resources in the world. Using bamboo as a raw material for pulping and papermaking can save a lot of wood and protect forests. Bamboo pulping enterprises mostly adopt sulfate processes to produce a large amount of black liquor (BL), which contains monosaccharides, polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, pectin, lignin, etc.
