Abstract:
A method for the production of highly refined or microfibrillated cellulose (MFC), comprising the steps of treating cellulosic fibres to remove at least a major part of the primary wall of the fibres, drying the treated fibres, rewetting the treated fibres, and disintegrating the wetted fibres by mechanical means to obtain the final product. Dried cellulosic pulp is produced as an intermediate product of the method, having an average fibre length of at least 0.4 mm, while less than 50% of the primary wall material of natural untreated fibres is left in the intermediate product. Instead of transporting large amounts of dilute MFC dispersion the invention enables transport of the dry intermediate product to the MFC end user, who would complete the process by turning the intermediate product to final MFC by use of standard disintegrating devices.
Abstract:
A paper or board material containing pulp fibre or wood fibre or non-wood fibre and made from a stock solution, having a first and second side, wherein the paper material is provided with a surface coating layer on at least one side thereof, wherein said surface coating layer comprises a mixture of a microfibrillated polysaccharide and a filler, wherein said mixture is applied onto said paper or board material and wherein said microfibrillated polysaccharide is obtained from a portion of a pulp raw material comprising said pulp fiber or wood fiber or non-wood fibre, which pulp raw material subsequently forms said paper or board material and said filler is at least partially redistributed from being introduced into said stock solution to said surface coating layer.
Abstract:
A method for drying nanofibrillated polysaccharide to obtain a substantially dry nanofibrillated polysaccharide product, comprising the following steps: (i) providing an aqueous suspension of nanofibrillated polysaccharide; (ii) increasing the solid content of said suspension, thereby forming a high solid content microfibrillated cellulose suspension; and (iii) drying said high solid content microfibrillated cellulose suspension, through a simultaneous heating and mixing operation.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing at least one layer of a film wherein the method comprises the steps of; providing a first suspension comprising microfibrillated cellulose, providing a second suspension comprising microfibrillated dialdehyde cellulose, mixing the first suspension with the second suspension to form a mixture, applying said mixture to a substrate to form a fibrous web and drying said web to form at least one layer of said film. The present invention further relates to a film comprising said at least one layer.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for production of cellulose ethers in a high solids process substantially without use of organic solvents as reaction and/or washing medium. In the method of the invention the first alkalization step is carried out by using high solids content cellulose pulp and solid sodium hydroxide. This is followed by an etherification step where the solids content is preferably further increased and the use of solid etherification reactant is preferred. As no organic solvents are used as reaction media the invented method enables production of cellulose ethers directly from never dried pulp with significant savings in energy and investment costs. The method is especially suitable for the production of carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt (CMC) with low degree of substitution (DS

Abstract:
método para a preparação de éteres de celulose com um processo de alto conteúdo de sólidos, produto obtido e usos do produto a presente invenção proporciona um método produção de éteres de celulose em um processo para a de alto conteúdo de sólidos substancialmente sem o uso de solventes orgânicos como um meio de reação e/ou lavagem. no método de a invenção a primeira etapa de alcalinização é levada a cabo usando polpa de celulose com alto conteúdo de sólidos e hidróxido de sódio sólido. isto é seguido por uma etapa de eterificação onde o conteúdo de sólidos é preferivelmente ainda aumentado e o uso de sólido reagente de eterificação é preferido. como solventes não orgânicos são usados como meios de reação o método inventado permite a produção de éteres de celulose diretamente da polpa nunca seca com significante economia em energia e custos de investimento. o método é especialmente adequado para a produção de sal de sódio de carboximetil celulose (cmc) com baixo grau de substituição (ds
