Effects of Alkali Swelling and Beating Treatments on Properties of Kraft Pulp Fibers

Abstract: Three alkali swelling methods were used to treat two kinds of kraft pulp fibers. The morphological and chemical properties of the treated fibers were elucidated in terms of alkali concentration, with the aim of developing bulky paper and conserving wood resources. The effects of beating before and after alkali swelling were examined. The water retention value of fibers increased when higher concentrations of NaOH were used for swelling. Alkali swelling increased fiber width, while fiber length decreased. With … Show more

“…If the moisture content increases, bonding strength decreased, but the fiber flexibility improves. Although the flexibility has a small impact on the tensile and bursting strength, the increasing fiber flexibility decreases the tensile and bursting strength (Nissan 1977;Lund et al 2012;Choi et al 2016).…”

“…Therefore, the pulp fibers and fines after intense beating can retain more water and possibly adhere to more filler particles with increasing intensity of beating. A high beating intensity is purposely applied to produce high yield pulp fibers with a high degree of defibrillation and fine break‐off in comparison to other types of pulp fibers . The water retention of the pulp fibers is a property which depends on the degree of refinement and influences the paper retention and flocculation.…”

“…4a and 5a. During the A treatment, the pulp fibers were severely fibrillated, which may be due to the fact that the alkali treatment was highly effective in causing swelling of the fibers, thus reducing the damage to the fibers during the mechanical pulping process (Choi et al 2016). During the refining process, the primary and secondary walls were deformed and stripped due to strong external forces, which resulted in the appearance of more fine fiber components (Banavath et al 2011).…”
