Review on Increasing the Kappa Reduction in Oxygen Delignification Stage at Pulp Mills
Abstract: The use of oxygen delignification in bleached kraft pulp mills to reduce the lignin content of pulp prior to final bleaching is increasing worldwide. However, oxygen treatments are normally limited to less than 50% lignin removal to avoid excessive loss of pulp strength potential. More selective oxygen delignification processes are required which can extend lignin removal beyond 50% while maintaining final pulp quality. Work reported here has shown that pulp …

Optimization of Operational Parameters for Production of Bio-ethanol from Red Gram Straw
Abstract: AbstractBio-alcohol is a neat and cleaner source of energy, which could be obtained from locally available biomass. However, the complex structure of lignocellulose in biomass makes a primary protective barrier that prevents cell destruction. In order to break down this structure for the conversion of biomass to fuel ethanol, the cellulose and hemicellulosic materials must be broken down to corresponding monomers (sugars). It could be done easily with acid hydrolysis …
