Fractionation of high Kappa number kraft pulps of the South African softwoods and sulfonating of coarse fibre enriched fraction for production of sack paper
Fractionation of high Kappa number kraft pulps of the South African softwoods and sulfonating of coarse fibre enriched fraction for production of sack paper
The focus of this study was to seek an alternative way of manufacturing sack paper with uniform quality properties at increased refining energy efficiency compared to currently applied technologies. Kraft pulp produced at Kappa number approximately to 85 was fractionated. Thereafter, the coarse fibres enriched fraction was sulphonated. Sulphonation was carried out to enhance the refinability of the coarse fibres enriched fraction. The refinability of the pulp was evaluated using PFI mill.
