The purpose of this work was to study biological and economic peculiarities of repair raspberry varieties cultivated in the south-eastern part of Irkutsk region. The research was conducted on the territory of the collection site of SIFIBR SB RAS. The objects of research were 10 varieties and 3 selected forms of repair raspberries of selection of FSBNU "All-Russian Breeding and Technological Institute of Horticulture and Nursery Management". Raspberries were cultivated in annual culture.Biological and economic peculiarities of the object of research on the territory of the forest-steppe zone of the Predbaikal region were studied by the route method. Actual productivity was taken into account by mass of ripe berries on one bush before severe frosts. The research was carried out according to the program and methods of variety study of fruit, berry and nut crops. According to the results of observations a comparative biological and economic assessment of the studied objects by productivity and terms of fruit ripening, peculiarities of bush formation in some varieties was given.

The evaluation and process risk assessment of (a) lignin precipitation from black liquor, and (b) the near-neutral hemicellulose pre-extraction for recovery boiler debottlenecking in an existing pulp mill is presented in Part I of this paper, which was published in the July 2012 issue of TAPPI Journal. In Part II, the economic assessment of the two biorefinery process options is presented and interpreted. A mill process model was developed using WinGEMS software and used for calculating the mass and energy balances. Investment costs, operating costs, and profitability of the two biorefinery options have been calculated using standard cost estimation methods. The results show that the two biorefinery options are profitable for the case study mill and effective at process debottlenecking. The after-tax internal rate of return (IRR) of the lignin precipitation process option was estimated to be 95%, while that of the hemicellulose pre-extraction process option was 28%. Sensitivity analysis showed that the after tax-IRR of the lignin precipitation process remains higher than that of the hemicellulose pre-extraction process option, for all changes in the selected sensitivity parameters. If we consider the after-tax IRR, as well as capital cost, as selection criteria, the results show that for the case study mill, the lignin precipitation process is more promising than the near-neutral hemicellulose pre-extraction process. However, the comparison between the two biorefinery options should include long-term evaluation criteria. The potential of high value-added products that could be produced from lignin in the case of the lignin precipitation process, or from ethanol and acetic acid in the case of the hemicellulose pre-extraction process, should also be considered in the selection of the most promising process option.
