  1. 1. On the Course of Kraft Cooking - The impact of ionic strength

    Author : Binh Dang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; molecular weight distribution.; hexenuronic acids; carbohydrate removal; delignification; sodium ion concentration; lignin; ionic strength; xylan; flow-through kraft cooking; kinetics;

    Abstract : Kraft pulping is the dominant process currently used to produce chemical pulps, and has been applied for more than 130 years. A large number of studies have been conducted to gain a better understanding of the delignification kinetics as well as the reactions of the wood components being dissolved during the cooking process.

  2. 2. Filtration of Cellulosic material - the impact of ionic strength and electric field

    Author : Anna Lidén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; electro-assisted; microfibrillated cellulose; ionic strength; microcrystalline cellulose; dead-end filtration;

    Abstract : It is crucial that dewatering technology is considered if an economically feasible production of cellulosic materials is to be achieved. Cellulosic materials are often produced in dilute streams and therefore require great amounts of water to be removed to allow for reasonable transportation costs and/or further modifications.

  3. 3. Effects of HCO3- and ionic strength on the oxidation and dissolution of UO2

    Author : Mohammad Moshin Hossain; Mats Jonsson; Olle Wahlberg; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; UO2; H2O2; spent nuclear fuel; HCO3-; ionic strength; oxidation; dissolution; surface site density.; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Abstract : The kinetics for radiation induced dissolution of spent nuclear fuel is a key issue in the safety assessment of a future deep repository. Spent nuclear fuel mainly consists of UO2 and therefore the release of radionuclides (fission products and actinides) is assumed to be governed by the oxidation and subsequent dissolution of the UO2 matrix.

  4. 4. Towards an understanding of surface hydrophobization of paper - Exploring the effect of polymer nanoparticles, starch, ionic strength and process parameters

    Author : Frida Iselau; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; starch; ionic strength; paper hydrophobization; nanoparticles; penetration.; kinetics; charge ratio; temperature; aggregation; Surface sizing;

    Abstract : Paper materials are cost effective and lightweight, they can easily be recycled and their use as an alternative to plastics is advantageous from an environmental and sustainability perspective. However, competing with plastics for packaging applications is a challenge for cellulosic products. READ MORE

  5. 5. Thermodynamics of Peptide Nucleic Acid Interactions with DNA

    Author : Tommi Ratilainen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; thermodynamics; enthalpy-entropy compensation; ionic strength; nucleic acids; fluorescence energy transfer; PNA; calorimetry; sequence-specific binding;

    Abstract : Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) is a DNA mimic with the natural nucleobases attached to a charge-neutral pseudopeptide backbone. It has remarkably strong and sequence-specific binding affinity to natural nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), mainly attributed to the lack of charge in the PNA backbone. READ MORE
