SUPERCALENDERED KRAFT PAPER COMPRISING RECYCLED FIBER

Abstract

The invention relates to a supercalendered Kraft paper production for a release liner, which contains both non-recycled bleached chemical pulps and recycled pulp produced from release liner supercalendered Kraft paper. When highly specific raw material is used for recycling, the characteristics of the recycled pulp may be adjusted already upon recycling. The recycled pulp obtained from supercalendered Kraft paper that has been used as a substrate of a release liner may be used without further refining for manufacturing supercalendered Kraft paper. Excessive refining can thus be avoided and the compatibility of the recycled pulp may be optimized for supercalendered Kraft paper production. The non-recycled pulps may be refined less, as well. This leads to positive effects in supercalendered Kraft paper manufacturing process, such as improved dewatering and energy efficient drying. The produced paper demonstrates reduced shrinkage and improved dimensional stability, while maintaining sufficient quality for use as a substrate for a release liner. A supercalendered Kraft paper with improved sustainability is produced.

Abstract

For controlling a pretreatment part in a manufacturing process of chemical bioproducts, there is separated steam from an output flow of a hemihydrolysis reactor that forms a part of said pretreatment part. A portion of said separated steam is condensed into a condensate, and an optical measurement of at least one optical characteristic of said condensate is performed. The value of at least one process parameter of said pretreatment part is controlled based on results obtained from said optical measurement. Said results indicate content of one or more impurities in said condensate.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing SCK paper having a basis weight in the range of 50 to 70 g/m2, wherein an optimal combination of BSKP and BCTMP is used to adjust the properties of the fiber furnish. In SCK papers with low basis weight the bulk of the formed paper web upon paper manufacturing may be controlled by means of the fiber furnish, without downgauging and without adverse effects to other paper properties, which would prevent the use of the SCK paper as substrate layer in a release liner. Thus SCK paper with exceptionally high share of BCTMP in the fiber furnish may be produced into the same thickness as was possible before for a conventional supercalendered kraft paper having a higher basis weight, while maintaining other quality characteristics of the paper sufficient for use as a substrate layer of an industrial release liner.

Abstract

It is disclosed the use of a composition comprising a fungus of Trichoderma genus and a lignin fraction, as a booster of nitrogen fertilizers. In particular, it was observed that said composition surprisingly enhances the uptake of nitrogen by plant seeds from nitrogen fertilizers, so that the overall amount of the latter to be applied can be advantageously reduced down to at least 50% of the recommended amount.

Abstract

The invention relates to a supercalendered Kraft paper production for a release liner, which contains both non-recycled bleached chemical pulps and recycled pulp produced from release liner supercalendered Kraft paper. When highly specific raw material is used for recycling, the characteristics of the recycled pulp may be adjusted already upon recycling. The recycled pulp obtained from supercalendered Kraft paper that has been used as a substrate of a release liner may be used without further refining for manufacturing supercalendered Kraft paper. Excessive refining can thus be avoided and the compatibility of the recycled pulp may be optimized for supercalendered Kraft paper production. The non-recycled pulps may be refined less, as well. This leads to positive effects in supercalendered Kraft paper manufacturing process, such as improved dewatering and energy efficient drying. The produced paper demonstrates reduced shrinkage and improved dimensional stability, while maintaining sufficient quality for use as a substrate for a release liner. A supercalendered Kraft paper with improved sustainability is produced.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing calendered glassine paper having a basis weight in the range of 40 to 120 g/m2, wherein an optimal combination of non-recycled BCP, BCTMP and recycled pulp obtained from release liner glassine paper is used to adjust the properties of the fiber furnish. While the use of BCTMP enables a product having a higher bulk, the recycled pulp component, which has high compatibility with the paper manufacturing process, enables to balance the manufacturing process and reduce the dimensional changes and shrinkage of the formed paper. The combined presence of the BCTMP and the recycled pulp component in the fiber furnish improves the water removal from the fibers during the glassine paper manufacturing, while the presence of non-recycled BCP produced from softwood improves the formation and runnability of the paper web on the paper machine. This enables to produce calendered glassine paper with improved sustainability, wherein the density may be controlled by means of the fiber furnish, without downgauging and without adverse effects to other paper properties, which would prevent the use of the calendered glassine paper as substrate layer in a release liner.
