TCF Bleaching of Populus tomentosa Kraft Pulps with H2O2 Pretreatment under Acid Condition

The process of peroxide bleaching of Populus tomentosa kraft pulp with H2O2 pretreatment under acid condition was studied. The variations of pulp characteristics such as brightness, Kappa number and viscosity during the peroxide bleaching process were discussed and the concept of the A/B value was presented for the first time. The results show that acid pretreatment with H2O2 is essential to improve pulp brightness and avoid viscosity loss. The conclusion is reached that the A/B value has great influence on pulp properties when the total amount of peroxide used in the bleaching process is 2%–5%. Pulp with a high viscosity and brightness can be obtained when A/B is about 0.15.     

Studies on hypersaline-tolerant white-rot fungi III: biobleaching of unbleached kraft pulp by hypersaline-tolerant manganese peroxidase from a marine white rot isolate, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Phlebia </Emphasis>sp. MG-60

 A marine white rot isolate, Phlebia sp. MG-60, secreted lignin peroxidase (LiP), manganese peroxidase (MnP), and laccase under different sea salt incubation conditions. Its MnP production was strongly enhanced by adding 3% sea salts, and the MnP showed high tolerance to sea salts and NaCl. The crude enzyme secreted at 3% sea salt concentration by Phlebia sp. MG-60, in which the main component was MnP (cMnP), was then used to bleach unbleached hardwood kraft pulp (UKP) in vitro. The pulp was brightened 11 points by 4 U of cMnP, and the kappa number was decreased 6 points when only 0.5 mM H₂O₂ was added continuously. When 0.5 mM H₂O₂ (1.22 mg H₂O₂ /g pulp) was added at the initial bleaching, the pulp brightness increased 6 points with a dosage of 4 U of cMnP. When crude MnPs were employed to bleach UKP with organic-free model white-water instead of the Milli Q water usually used, the pulp was brightened 10 and 13 points by 4 and 20 U of cMnP, respectively, and 5 and 6 points by 4 and 20 U of MnP, respectively, of Phanerochaete chrysosporium.

Response of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Eucalyptus camaldulensis</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Acacia mangium</Emphasis> kraft pulp in different ECF bleaching options

In this study, the response of Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Acacia mangium kraft pulp to different options of ECF bleaching was investigated. Oxygen-delignified pulps of both species having similar kappa number (c.a. 12) were used. Both the pulps were prebleached using conventional ClO₂ stage (D₀), combined use of ClO₂ and O₃ (DZ), hot acid treatment before D₀ (A_hotD₀) and hot acid treatment before (DZ) i.e., A_hot(DZ), hot ClO₂ treatment (D_HT) and A_hot followed by D_HT (A_hotD_HT). All prebleached pulps were finally bleached to 90%+ ISO brightness using D₁ option. The overall benefits of other options were not considerable compared to D₀ and (DZ). From the ClO₂ consumption point of view, for a certain species, the option A_hot(DZ) was the best. Instead of D₁ in final bleaching, pressurized hydrogen peroxide (PO) was also investigated in the case of D₀ and (DZ) prebleached pulps. (PO)-bleached pulp produced higher brightness stability but lower viscosity compared to D₁.

Replication of wood into biomorphous nanocrystalline Y<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>:Eu<Superscript>3+</Superscript> phosphor materials

Biomorphous Eu³⁺-doped Y₂O₃ was fabricated by replication of wood templates using vacuum-assisted infiltration of a water-based sol–gel mixture and subsequent calcination at 750°C. The precursor sols were prepared from (Y_0.95Eu_0.05)₂O₃ dissolved in 10 vol% nitric acid and adding citric acid as the chelating agent. X-ray powder diffraction analyses and Rietveld refinements confirmed that the calcined samples were solely composed of bixbyite Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺ phase with a mean crystallite size of 16 nm. Scanning electron micrographs and cathodoluminescence imaging showed that the cellular preform anatomy was retained and that the original wood cell walls were completely transformed into phosphor struts with pore sizes ranging from 5 to 20 μm. The optical properties of the biomorphous phosphor materials were analyzed by photoluminescence spectroscopy and assigned to the characteristic Eu³⁺ (4f⁶ → 4f⁶) electric dipole or magnetic dipole transitions. From fluorescence lifetime measurements, the mean lifetime was calculated as 1.62 ms.     

Nutrient contents and efficiencies of beech and spruce saplings as influenced by competition and O<Subscript>3</Subscript>/CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> regime

Saplings of Fagus sylvatica and Picea abies were grown under conditions of intra and interspecific competition in a 2-year phytotron study under combinations of ambient and elevated ozone (+O₃ which is 2 × O₃, but <150 nl l⁻¹) as well as carbon dioxide concentrations (+CO₂ which is amb. CO₂ + 300 μl CO₂ l⁻¹) in a full factorial design. Saplings were analysed for various mineral nutrients in different plant organs as well as biomass production and crown development. The study was based on the assumption that nutritional parameters important for growth and competitiveness are affected by stress defence under limiting nutrient supply. The hypotheses tested were (1) that nutrient uptake-related parameters (a) as well as efficiencies in nutrient use for above-ground competition (b) of beech rather than spruce are impaired by the exposure to elevated O₃ concentrations, (2) that the efficiency in nutrient uptake of spruce is enhanced by elevated CO₂ concentrations in mixed culture, and (3) that the ability to occupy above-ground space at low nutrient cost is co-determinant for the competitive success in mixed culture. Clear nitrogen deficiencies were indicated for both species during the 2-year phytotron study, although foliar nitrogen-biomass relationships were not so close for spruce than for beech. O₃ stress did not impair nutrient uptake-related parameters of beech; thus hypothesis (1a). was not supported. A negative effect of elevated O₃ (under amb. CO₂) on the N and P based efficiencies in above-ground space occupation (i.e. lower crown volume per unit of N or P invested in stems, limbs and foliage) of beech supported hypothesis (1b). It appeared that ozone stress triggered a nutrient demand for stress defence and tolerance at the expense of above-ground competition (trade-off). Crown volume of beech under O₃ stress was stabilized in monoculture by increased nutrient uptake. In general, the +CO₂-treatment was able to counteract the impacts of 2 × O₃. Elevated CO₂ caused lower N and S concentrations in current-year foliage of both tree species, slightly higher macronutrient amounts in the root biomass of spruce, but did not increase the efficiencies in nutrient uptake of spruce in mixed culture. Therefore hypothesis (2) was not supported. At the end of the experiment spruce turned out to be the stronger competitor in mixed culture as displayed by its higher total shoot biomass and crown volume. The amounts of macronutrients in the above-ground biomass of spruce individuals in mixed culture distinctly exceeded those of beech, which had been strongly reduced by interspecific competition. The superior competitiveness of spruce was related to higher N and P-based efficiencies in above-ground space occupation as suggested in hypothesis (3).

Modeling hydrogen peroxide bleaching to predict optical properties of bleached hardwood CMP

Due to the variations in opacity and brightness of peroxide bleached pulp at Mazandaran Wood and Paper Industries Company (MWPI), empirical models were developed to predict chemimechanical pulp (CMP) brightness and opacity from peroxide bleaching conditions and to drive the optimum operating conditions. To overcome the inconsistency problem, a multi-variate regression analysis method was used for model building. The models were then validated using a new data set from the bleach plant at MWPI, assessing the models’ predictive ability and performance. The results show that there is a relationship between bleaching variables and such dependent variables as pulp brightness and opacity. In addition to the hydrogen peroxide charge and pulp initial brightness, the initial opacity had a significant reverse effect on the final CMP brightness. It was also found that the concentration of total Na⁺ in the CMP tower was the most important variable affecting the final pulp opacity. The validation results demonstrated that these models can be employed as useful tools for process optimization purposes.     

Industrial utilization of tobacco stalks II: preparation and characterization of tobacco pulp by steam explosion pulping

Our previous paper showed tobacco stalks to posses the characteristics of a raw material for pulp and paper application. It contains the major biomass constituents and cell components common to wood species. In this study, preparation and characterization of tobacco stalk pulp by steam explosion (SE) pulping at two chemical pretreatments were attempted. Chemical pretreatment prior to SE pulping improved the brightness, yield, and strength properties of the resulting tobacco SE pulps in the order: 6% Na₂SO₃ + 1% NaOH > 6% Na₂SO₃ > control (untreated). The 6% Na₂SO₃ + 1% NaOH-impregnated tobacco stalks produced SE pulps of good fiber length distribution and considerable properties that compare well with pulps from other raw materials obtained from previous studies, and the nonimpregnated ones showed strength properties superior to those of their poplar counterpart. Prior to bleaching, pretreating the tobacco stalk SE pulps with two stages, 2% NaOH at 90°C, improved the initial pulp brightness by about 5 points. Two-stage 6% H₂O₂ bleaching gave a comparable effect with hypochlorite bleaching for both tobacco and poplar, giving a 29–34 brightness point increase for tobacco SE pulp and 61 for the poplar samples. The differences in the bleaching responses for untreated tobacco and poplar SE pulps were attributed to the differences in their lignin structure, as shown in the total yield of their respective nitrobenzene oxidation products and FT-IR spectra. Tobacco SE pulps contain more of the guaiacyl-type lignin and poplar the syringyl-type lignin.This paper was presented in part during the 1998 CORESTA (Cooperation Centre for Scientific Research Relative to Tobacco) Congress, Brighton, UK, October 1998     

Antioxidant properties of monomeric,oligomeric, and polymeric fractions in hot water extract from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pinus radiata</Emphasis> bark

Hot water extract (HWE) from Pinus radiata bark was fractionated into monomeric polyphenol (MPP), oligomeric proanthocyanidin (OPA), and polymeric proanthocyanidin (PPA) fractions by monitoring the UV-visible spectrum of the eluted fractions. Nine polyphenols were identified in MPP: three phenolic acids and six flavonoids. The major compounds of MPP were taxifolin (456 μg/mg), catechins (240 μg/mg), and protocatechuic acid (46.2 μg/mg). The OPA components ranged from dimers to hexamers. PPA comprised procyanidin (PC, 94%), a small amount of prodelphinidin (PD, 6%), and also the higher trans configuration, rather than the cis configuration, of C2-C3. The average molecular weight (Mw, Mn), polydispersity (Mw/Mn), and DP of PPA were 3,800 (Mw), 1,200 (Mn), 3.2 and 13, respectively. The potential antioxidant activities of HWE and the three fractions were estimated using proton- or electron-donating assays containing 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical, 2,2′-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) radical cation, superoxide anion (O₂^•−), hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), reducing power and lipid peroxidation. All the bark fractions exhibited potent quenching abilities against both commercially available radicals (DPPH•, ABTS^•+) and chemically induced radicals (H₂O₂, O₂^•−), as well as strong reducing power and inhibitory activity of lipid peroxidation. Particularly, OPA showed a hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity significantly higher (p < 0.05) than that of the other fractions. From 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and ferric thiocyanate assays, PPA was suspected to act by essentially delaying the formation of hydroperoxide by quenching free oxygen radicals that operates in oil-in-water emulsion.

Effects of mechanical damage and herbivore wounding on H2O2 metabolism and antioxidant enzyme activities in hybrid poplar leaves

The changes of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) metabolism and antioxidant enzyme activities in a hybrid poplar (Populus simonii × P. pyramidalis ‘Opera 8277’) in response to mechanical damage (MD) and herbivore wounding (HW) were investigated to determine whether H₂O₂ could function as the secondary messenger in the signaling of systemic resistance. Results show that H₂O₂ was generated in wounded leaves through MD and HW treatments and systemically in unwounded leaves around the wounded leaves. The activities of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) were also enhanced. However, the H₂O₂ accumulation and antioxidant enzyme activities were inhibited in MD leaves through the pretreatment with DPI (which is a specific inhibitor of NADPH oxidase). The results of this study suggest that H₂O₂ could be systemically induced by MD and HW treatments, and H₂O₂ metabolism was closely related to the change in SOD, APX and CAT activities. A high level of antioxidant enzymes could decrease membrane lipid peroxidation levels and effectively induce plant defense responses.

Crop residue effect on crop performance,soil N<Subscript>2</Subscript>O and CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> emissions in alley cropping systems in subtropical China

Land management practices that simultaneously improve soil properties are crucial to high crop production and minimize detrimental impact on the environment. We examined the effects of crop residues on crop performance, the fluxes of soil N₂O and CO₂ under wheat-maize (WM) and/or faba bean-maize (FM) rotations in Amorpha fruticosa (A) and Vetiveria zizanioides (V) intercropping systems on a loamy clay soil, in subtropical China. Crop performance, soil N₂O and CO₂ as well as some potential factors such as soil water content, soil carbon, soil nitrogen, microbial biomass and N mineralization were recorded during 2006 maize crop cultivation. Soil N₂O and CO₂ fluxes are determined using a closed-based chamber. Maize yield was greater after faba bean than after wheat may be due to differences in supply of N from residues. The presence of hedgerow significantly improved maize grain yields. N₂O emissions from soils with maize were considerably greater after faba bean (345 g N₂O–N ha⁻¹) than after wheat (289 g N₂O–N ha⁻¹). However, the cumulated N₂O emissions did not differ significantly between WM and FM. The difference in N₂O emissions between WM and FM was mostly due to the amounts of crop residues. Hedgerow alley cropping tended to emit more N₂O than WM and FM, in particular A. fruticosa intercropping systems. Over the entire 118 days of measurement, the N₂O fluxes represented 534 g N₂O–N ha⁻¹ (AWM) and 512 g N₂O–N ha⁻¹ (AFM) under A. fruticosa species, 403 g N₂O–N ha⁻¹ (VWM) and 423 g N₂O–N ha⁻¹ (VFM) under Vetiver grass. We observed significantly higher CO₂ emission in AFM (5,335 kg CO₂–C ha⁻¹) from June to October, whereas no significant difference was observed among WM (3,480 kg CO₂–C ha⁻¹), FM (3,302 kg CO₂–C ha⁻¹), AWM (3,877 kg CO₂–C ha⁻¹), VWM (3,124 kg CO₂–C ha⁻¹) and VFM (3,309 kg CO₂–C ha⁻¹), indicating the importance of A. fruticosa along with faba bean residue on CO₂ fluxes. As a result, crop residues and land conversion from agricultural to agroforestry can, in turn, influence microbial biomass, N mineralization, soil C and N content, which can further alter the magnitude of crop growth, soil N₂O and CO₂ emissions in the present environmental conditions.     

Studies on the effect of prehydrolysis and amine in cooking liquor on producing dissolving pulp from jute (Corchorus capsularis)

Dissolving pulps are the raw materials for the production of many different end-products. Jute is a very good source of cellulose. In this investigation, jute fiber was subjected to pulping in soda process in order to produce dissolving pulp under different prehydrolysis conditions and compared with prehydrolysed kraft pulp from jute. An increase of the prehydrolysis temperature or H₂SO₄ in prehydrolysis liquor increased the α-cellulose content and decreased the viscosity of pulp. The effect of ethylenediamine in soda liquor was also investigated when producing dissolving pulp. Jute fiber produced pulp having 90–97% α-cellulose. Ethylenediamine in soda liquor produced pulp of higher yield, viscosity and higher α-cellulose content than that of prehydrolysis soda or kraft pulp. The α-cellulose content and viscosity were increased with the increase of amine in soda liquor. The kappa number of dissolving pulp from jute was very low (9–5), which indicated that less bleaching chemicals are required for bleaching. The bleachability of soda-ethylenediamine pulp was lower than prehydrolysed soda and kraft pulp in ECF bleaching sequences. The bleachability of soda-ethylenediamine pulp was improved at the sacrifice of pulp yield when prehydrolysis was done prior to pulping. The alkali solubility S ₁₀ and S ₁₈ were 4–9 and 2–4%, respectively.

Difference in cutting age for highest profit by methods for calculating CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> emission trading and the price of CO<Subscript>2</Subscript>

 The amounts of CO₂ that are absorbed and emitted by forest in a model stand area were determined using two calculation methods, namely the flow approach and the stock approach for emission trading, to understand the relationships between the cutting age for the highest profit rate (CAHPR; optimum tree ages to be cut so as to maximize the profit) and (1) the prices of CO₂ and (2) the balance between CO₂ emission and absorption. The resultant CAHPR differed between these two CO₂ accounting methods, which give different tree ages for maximum log volume yield. A rise in CO₂ price caused the CAHPR to approach the tree age of maximum log volume in the flow approach method, and to deviate from the tree age of maximum log volume in the stock approach method. Even at the same CO₂ price, the CAHPR differed between the CO₂ accounting methods. At low CO₂ prices, the CAHPR did not affect situations where the difference of average profit is large by cutting age. On the other hand, the CAHPR was greatly affected at low CO₂ prices when the mean log volume growth changed with tree age. These trends were found to be universal.

Effects of long-term elevated CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> on N<Subscript>2</Subscript>-fixing,denitrifying and nitrifying enzyme activities in forest soils under <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pinus sylvestriformis</Emphasis> in Changbai Mountain

A study was conducted to determine the effects of elevated CO₂ on soil N process at Changbai Mountain in Jilin Province, northeastern China (42°24′N, 128°06′E, and 738 m elevation). A randomized complete block design of ambient and elevated CO₂ was established in an open-top chamber facility in the spring of 1999. Changpai Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris var. sylvestriformis seeds were sowed in May, 1999 and CO₂ fumigation treatments began after seeds germination. In each year, the exposure started at the end of April and stopped at the end of October. Soil samples were collected in June and August 2006 and in June 2007, and soil nitrifying, denitrifying and N₂-fixing enzyme activities were measured. Results show that soil nitrifying enzyme activities (NEA) in the 5–10 cm soil layer were significantly increased at elevated CO₂ by 30.3% in June 2006, by 30.9% in August 2006 and by 11.3% in June 2007. Soil denitrifying enzyme activities (DEA) were significantly decreased by elevated CO₂ treatment in June 2006 (P < 0.012) and August 2006 (P < 0.005) samplings in our study; no significant difference was detected in June 2007, and no significant changes in N₂-fixing enzyme activity were found. This study suggests that elevated CO₂ can alter soil nitrifying enzyme and denitrifying enzyme activities.

Branch CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> efflux in vertical profile of Norway spruce tree

Branch CO₂ efflux of Norway spruce tree [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] was measured in ten branches at five different whorls during the growing season 2004 (from June till October) in campaigns of 3–4 times per month at the Beskydy Mts., the Czech Republic. Branch CO₂ efflux was measured using a portable infrared gas analyzer (LI-6250, LI-COR, Inc., USA), operating as a closed system. Branch woody-tissue temperature was measured continuously in 10-min intervals for each sample position during the whole experiment period. On the basis of relation between CO₂ efflux rate and woody-tissue temperature, a value of Q₁₀ and of normalized CO₂ efflux rate (E₁₀–CO₂ efflux rate at 10°C) was calculated for each sampled position. Estimated Q₁₀ values ranged from 2.12 to 2.89, and E₁₀ ranged from 0.41 to 1.19 μmolCO₂m⁻²s⁻¹. Differences in branch CO₂ efflux were found between orientations, east-side branches presented higher efflux rate than west-side branches. The highest branch CO₂ efflux rate values were measured in August and the lowest in October, which corresponds with woody-tissue temperature and growth processes during these periods. Branch CO₂ efflux was significantly and positively correlated with branch position within canopy and woody-tissue temperature. Branches from the upper whorls showed higher CO₂ efflux activity and seasonal dynamics than branches from the lower whorls.     

Steam explosion pretreatment used to remove hemicellulose to enhance the production of a eucalyptus organosolv dissolving pulp

The steam explosion (SE) pretreatment associated with the organosolv process was investigated to produce dissolving pulp from eucalyptus. Prehydrolysis Kraft (PHK) pulping was also done to produce viscose and acetate grade pulps as reference. The organosolv pulps were delignified in two steps with sodium chlorite. Viscose and acetate grade PHK pulps were bleached by OD₀(EH)D₁P and OD₀(EP)D₁PCCE sequences, respectively. Dilute acid-catalyzed (with acid addition) SE pretreatment dissolved more xylan than auto-catalyzed (no acid addition) SE pretreatment. Steam-exploded unbleached organosolv pulps showed lower residual lignin content and screened yield than unbleached organosolv pulps without SE pretreatment. Steam explosion pretreatment helped to decrease lignin content and damaged fiber length of unbleached organosolv pulps. The 1.0% H₂SO₄ organosolv pulp (organosolv dissolving pulp at bioconversion conditions) showed the highest reactivity. Even showing low viscosity for some applications, in general, the organosolv dissolving pulps produced in this study can be used for making lyocell fibers.     

Consumption of O<Subscript>2</Subscript>, evolution of CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> and reduction of Cr(VI) during fixation of chromium based wood preservatives in wood

Norway spruce dust was impregnated with aqueous solutions of chromated copper wood preservatives. Immediately after treatment, observation of CO₂ evolution and O₂ consumption were performed. Significant quantities of CO₂ were released during reaction of chromium (K₂Cr₂O₇) containing solutions with wood or brown rotted wood. Nevertheless, during reaction of cellulose with these preservatives we did not observe evolution of CO₂. The presence of copper did not influence on concentration of CO₂. Opposite to CO₂ evolution, treatment of wood and brown rotted wood resulted in O₂ consumption. The oxygen concentration decrease in the measuring chamber was approximately 5 times greater than increase of concentration of carbon dioxide. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) observations of chromium fixation showed that chromium is reduced from Cr(VI) to Cr(III) with Cr(V) as an intermediate on wood, brown rotted wood and cellulose. However, the reduction on wood and brown rotted wood was faster than the reduction on cellulose, as determined from changes of Cr signals in EPR spectra. So, evolution of CO₂ and consumption of O₂ as well as EPR signals of Cr species thus indicate that brown rotted wood, consisting of lignin and hemicelluloses in contact with Cr(VI) reacts more intensively than cellulose, and possibly, oxidation mechanisms of lignin and cellulose with Cr(VI) are different.
