Abstract:
The present invention relates to an arrangement for determining the permeability of a sample, said arrangement comprising a source of fluid medium arranged such that at least a fraction of said medium can be brought into contact with a first surface of said sample to be tested; means for measuring the electrical properties at a second surface of said sample, wherein the second surface is opposite said first surface of said sample; and a controller for recording said electrical properties, and for determining the transmission rate of the fluid medium through the sample based on the recorded electrical properties.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for purifying a slurry comprising cellulose, such as microfibrillated cellulose, wherein the process comprises the following steps: - providing a slurry comprising cellulose and liquid, - subjecting the slurry to an electric field inducing the liquid of the slurry to flow, - separating the liquid from the cellulose thus obtaining a liquid depleted slurry, - adding a washing liquid, such as an organic solvent, to the liquid depleted slurry - subjecting the liquid depleted slurry to an electric field inducing the washing liquid of the slurry to flow and - separating the washing liquid from the cellulose, thus obtaining a purified cellulose. The invention also relates to cellulose such as microfibrillated cellulose obtainable from said process.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for purifying, such as salt/ion depletion, and/or ash reduction,and/or sulphur removal, and/or free sugar depletion,and/or VOC depletion or fractionating,preferably by using dewatering, of a slurry comprising a lignin or lignin derivative or a combination thereof. A lignin or lignin derivative obtainable from said process and uses thereof are also disclosed.
