In this paper, the effect of microwave treatment on the hydrogen peroxide bleaching of Soda-AQ wheat-straw pulp was investigated. The results showed that microwave treatment could increase the brightness of the hydrogen peroxide bleached pulp. The fiber coarseness of microwave enhancing peroxide bleached pulp was higher than that of the peroxide bleached pulp. However, the arithmetic average fiber length, the length weighted average fiber length and weight weighted average fiber length of the former was lower than that of the latter. Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra showed that CrI(%) crystallinity of microwave enhancing peroxide bleached pulp was similar as that of the peroxide bleached pulp but all higher than that of the Soda-AQ wheat-straw pulp. N·O′KI infra-red crystalline index of microwave enhancing peroxide bleached pulp were lower than that of the peroxide bleached pulp. The FTIR spectra of lignin showed that the microwave treatment had some influences on the methoxyl and phenolic group in lignin.

The present work sought to make a contribution to the study on application of Mg(OH)2 in peroxide bleaching of the wheat straw soda-AQ pulp. The results showed that: (1) for an unbleached pulp, when 24-73% of the NaOH was replaced with Mg(OH)2, a higher brightness and viscosity were achieved comparing to the NaOH as the sole alkaline source. The brightness and viscosity of the bleached pulp at 48% of Mg(OH)2 replacement were respectively 6.4%ISO and 107 mL.g-1 higher than those of the NaOH as the sole alkaline source. (2) for a chelated oxygen-delignified pulp, the brightness of bleached pulp at 24% Mg(OH)2 replacement was considerable to that of the NaOH as the sole alkaline source, and at 48% Mg(OH)2replacement 2.8% ISOlowerthan that of the NaOH as the sole alkaline source. While the viscosity increased consistently with the increase of Mg(OH)2, and the COD load of bleaching filtrates at 24-48% Mg(OH)2 replacement was lower 22-31% than that of the NaOH as the sole alkaline source. Therefore, partial substitution of Mg(OH)2 for NaOH had positive effects on peroxide bleaching of wheat straw soda-AQ pulp.

Preconditioning Refiner Chemic Alkaline Peroxide Mechanical Pulp (PRC-APMP) is one of the most currently used high yield pulps in China. During the bleaching of PRC-APMP, hydrogen peroxide is a commonly used bleaching agent. In order to improve the bleaching efficiency of PRC-APMP, urea was used as an activator in peroxide bleaching of aspen PRC-APMP. The results showed that the brightness of the urea-based bleached pulp higher than that without urea addition at the same hydrogen peroxide dosage. The physical properties such as the breaking length, tear index and fiber length of the bleached pulp were comparable to those without urea addition in peroxide bleaching.

Before oxygen bleaching and hydrogen peroxide bleaching, wheat straw pulp was bleached using xylanase. The effect of enzymatic stage on pulp properties and bleachability has been studied and compared with reference (control) pulps, processed without enzyme addition. Experimental results showed that, the optimal concentration of wheat straw pulp was 10%, the optimal treatment time and dose of enzyme was 60 min and 1.25AXU/g respectively. Oxygen pressure decreased from 0.6MPa to 0.5MPa when conditions of hydrogen peroxide bleachingremained unchanged and wheat straw pulp achieved the same whiteness. Hydrogen peroxide consumption decreased from 2% to 1.8% when oxygen bleaching has the same conditions and achieved the same white degree.

Summary The present paper reports our investigation into the use of two peroxygen reagents, peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and dimethyldioxirane (DMD), in bleaching sequences with peroxide to bleach wheat straw mechanical pulp, their reactivity with ferulic acid model compounds, and the likely relation between the two aspects. It was observed that combinations of PMS or DMD with peroxide offered a synergy leading to substantially improved brightness development in bleaching of wheat straw pulp. At the same time, these oxidizing reagents, especially DMD, were shown to be highly reactive with ferulic acid derivatives and increased the removal of ferulic acid from wheat straw pulp in bleaching. The results would suggest that the presence of non-lignin, peroxide-resistant chromophoric components, such as ferulic acid derivatives, might be an important factor limiting the brightness development of wheat straw mechanical pulp by conventional peroxide bleaching.

Alkalophilic Cellulosimicrobium cellulans CKMX1 isolated from mushroom compost is an actinomycete that produces industrially important and environmentally safer thermostable cellulase-free xylanase, which is used in the pulp and paper industry as an alternative to the use of toxic chlorinated compounds. Strain CKMX1 was previously characterized by metabolic fingerprinting, whole-cell fatty acids methyl ester analysis, and 16S rDNA and was found to be C. cellulans CKMX1. Crude enzyme (1027.65 U/g DBP) produced by C. cellulans CKMX1, having pH and temperature optima of 8.0 and 60 °C, respectively, in solid state fermentation of apple pomace, was used in the production of bleached wheat straw pulp. Pretreatment with xylanase at a dose of 5 U/g after pulping decreased pulp kappa points by 1.4 as compared with the control. Prebleaching with a xylanase dose of 5 U/g pulp reduced the chlorine charge by 12.5%, increased the final brightness points by approximately 1.42% ISO, and improved the pulp strength properties. Xylanase could be substituted for alkali extraction in C–Ep–D sequence and used for treating chemically bleached pulp, resulting in bleached pulp with higher strength properties. Modification of bleached pulp with 5 U of enzyme/g increased pulp whiteness and breaking length by 1.03% and 60 m, respectively; decreased tear factor of pulp by 7.29%; increased bulk weight by 3.99%, as compared with the original pulp. Reducing sugars and UV-absorbing lignin-derived compound values were considerably higher in xylanase-treated samples. Cellulosimicrobium cellulans CKMX1 has a potential application in the pulp and paper industries.

Abstract Effect of using diethylenetriamine pentaaceticacid (DTPA) as carbohydrate protector in ozone stage on delignification efficiency, bleaching efficiency, selectivity, metal ions, strength, morphological properties and effluent properties of wheat straw pulp was studied. Using DTPA during ozone treatment viscosity of pulp was improved by 1.1 units, delignification efficiency improved by 13.8 % and pulp brightness improved by 2.5 units compared to that of control. Most importantly the selectivity of ozone treatment was improved by 124 %. Ozone treatment along with DTPA reduced the Fe, Cu and Mn content in the pulp by 52 %, 27 % and 70 %, respectively. Use of DTPA in ozone stage improved the bleached pulp viscosity by 9 %, post colour number by 27 % and reduced the pulp shrinkage by 5 % compared to control pulp. DTPA treated and control pulps have comparable physical strength and morphological properties.

Summary The effect of hydrogen peroxide bleaching on the structure of thermomechanical (TMP) and chemothermomechanical (CTMP) wheat straw paper pulps was investigated. The results obtained by thioacidolysis indicated that the TMP treatment did not significantly affect the ß-0-4 structures of lignins whereas, the alkali conditions of sulfonation (CTMP) and bleaching induced the cleavage of the ß-0-4 bonds and an increase in the S/G ratio. Moreover, it was concluded that bleaching and sulfonation are responsible for the partial solubilisation of the p-coumaric and ferulic acid esters. The ethers of p-coumaric acid are not significantly affected by these treatments whereas, the ethers of ferulic acid are degraded, as shown by acidolysis data. These results underline the structural differences of wheat straw pulps compared to wood pulps.

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) substituted by magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) as control agent and alkali source were investigated in chlorine dioxide bleaching and hydrogen peroxide bleaching of NaOH-AQ wheat straw pulp. The effects of alkali sources on pulp properties, including brightness and tensile strength, were investigated. The four experimental groups, including DNaOHPNaOH, DNaOHPMg(OH)2, D Mg(OH)2PNaOH and DMg(OH)2PMg(OH)2, were studied in this paper. The results showed that the brightness and tensile strength of DMg(OH)2PMg(OH)2 pulp was slightly lower than that of DNaOHPNaOH pulp. But there were more residual ClO2 and residual H2O2 in the effluents of DMg(OH)2PMg(OH)2 bleaching process than that in the effluents of DNaOHPNaOH bleaching process, which illustrated that DMg(OH)2PMg(OH)2 bleaching process had higher bleaching efficiency than DNaOHPNaOH bleaching process. The influence of Mg(OH)2 replacing NaOH was more obvious when it was used in the bleaching process of P stage than that in the D stage. The replacement of NaOH with Mg(OH)2 in D Stage can lower the dosage of alkali used in the following P stage.

Magnesium-based alkalis and the Chelants (tetra acetyl ethylene diamine (TAED), Sodium Citrate and Opal) for hydrogen peroxide bleaching of bamboo pulp were investigated in this paper. The results showed that the optimal conditions of hydrogen peroxide bleaching of bamboo pulp were as follows: H2O2 4%, Mg(OH)2:NaOH=25%, Sodium Citrate 1%, Opal 1.5%, TAED:H2O2=0.67, temperature 60°C, and time 90 minutes. Under the optimum conditions, the brightness of bamboo pulp can be enhanced from 41.2% ISO to 78.2% ISO, while the brightness of bleached pulp by using the Mg(OH)2-based alkalis was higher than by using NaOH as the alkali source. It can be seen that Sodium Citrate, Opal, and TAED activated H2O2 bleaching needed lower reaction temperature, shorter time, and got better brightness and alleviated environment pollution, compared with the conventional H2O2 bleaching of the same pulp.
