Methods for making the modified fiber and products made from it are also provided. The method can be a one step acidic, iron catalyzed peroxide treatment process that can be incorporated into a single stage of a multi-stage bleaching process. The products can be chemical cellulose feedstocks, microcrystalline cellulose feedstocks, fluff pulps and products made from them.

Abstract

High permeability curly fibers with enhanced fiber strength are produced by mercerizing cellulosic fibers. The fibers have relatively high values for curl, kink level, wet tensile strength, and bulk density when compared with current fibers. The disclosed fibers can be used in a wide range of applications including paper products such as filters.

Abstract

A bleached softwood kraft pulp fiber with high alpha cellulose content, low viscosity and less carbonyl content resulting in improved anti-yellowing is provided. Methods for making oxidized kraft pulp fiber comprising digestion/oxygen delignification of softwood cellulose pulp to a kappa number of less than 8, followed by oxidation during bleaching with an iron catalyst and peroxide provides pulp fiber having low viscosity and less carbonyl content/yellowing. Products made from the pulp fiber are also described.

Abstract

A modified kraft pulp fiber with unique properties is provided. The modified fiber can be a modified bleached kraft fiber that is almost indistinguishable from its conventional counterpart, except that it has a low degree of polymerization (DP). Methods for making the modified fiber and products made from it are also provided. The method can be a one step acidic, iron catalyzed peroxide treatment process that can be incorporated into a single stage of a multi-stage bleaching process. The products can be chemical cellulose feedstocks, microcrystalline cellulose feedstocks, fluff pulps and products made from them.
