  • The nature of this lignin depends on the pulping process employed. (chemistryworld.com)
  • However, because lignin precipitation is an energy- and material-consuming process, the environmental consequences from a life cycle perspective are under discourse. (mistrasafechem.se)
  • The aim of this project is to develop a microbial process for the conversion of lignin into nylon with a smaller environmental footprint. (treesearch.se)
  • The molecular structure of lignin we obtain from this process is closer to what you'd find in a tree than the kraft lignin. (pulpandpapercanada.com)
  • Vanillin, a commonly used flavour compound, is one of the few fine-chemicals produced is obtained from lignin. (power-and-beyond.com)
  • This is a high-risk project but the researchers are convinced that its five-year perspective will allow them to identify new areas of application for our forestry industry and, hopefully, new environmentally friendly and valuable chemicals derived from the raw material lignin. (lu.se)
  • A strategy called the lignin-first method or reductive catalytic fractionation has been significantly improved in recent years to achieve lignocellulose fractionation under milder conditions and obtain fewer and more uniform products from lignin. (chemistryworld.com)
  • A huge sigh of relief can be heard throughout the wood product industry as a result of breakthrough work like this lignin recovery method. (processwest.ca)
  • Lignin and capturing this wood-based extract is not new. (processwest.ca)
  • Mechanical or groundwood pulp is made by subjecting wood to an abrading action, either by pressing the wood against a revolving grinding stone or by passing chips through a mill. (britannica.com)
  • The debarked wood is next sent to grinders , where its moisture content is important for ease of grinding and quality of pulp. (britannica.com)
  • The pulp stock flows from the grinder pit to a series of rifflers and screens, which separate the heavy foreign material and pieces of unfibred wood (shives), knots, bark, and the like. (britannica.com)
  • Groundwood pulp does not have a high whiteness, being limited in this quality by the colour of the wood from which it is made. (britannica.com)
  • Lignin is a major component of wood and is one of the most abundant natural organic wood polymers which provides a multitude of functionalities. (sappi.com)
  • Lignin is one of the main building blocks of a tree and makes up 20-30% of the composition of wood. (papertoexport.com)
  • The aim of the project is to create a platform for research and use of the forestry raw material of lignin in order to extract more valuable products from forestry in the future, which would allow us to increase the value of forested land", says research leader Marie Gorwa-Grauslund. (lu.se)
  • Assessment and Enhancement of the Performance of the Pulp Washing Operation in Kraft Mills [Master's thesis, École Polytechnique de Montréal]. (polymtl.ca)
  • Early grinders employed round slabs of natural sandstone 69 centimetres (27 inches) wide and 137 centimetres (54 inches) in diameter , often directly connected to water wheels, to produce five or six tons of pulp per day. (britannica.com)
  • Today's much larger pulp grinders are usually powered by electric motors and automatically loaded. (britannica.com)
  • While it may seem obvious to some, it's a legitimate question and one which frequently comes to customer service here at a similarly styled Peugeot salt mill and Peugeot pepper mill (or pepper grinders) may look the same, there are important distinctions. (villaorchidee.be)
  • This means a unique opportunity to develop new products and solutions with lignin as raw material. (paperprovince.com)
  • Lignin is a non-toxic raw material with traceable origin and stable cost structure, and bio-based Lineo is ideal for companies looking for alternatives to oil-based products. (papertoexport.com)
