Background and aim: Today, with the increase in population, increasing demand for paper, as well as greater restrictions on raw materials, the production of pulp from high-yield pulps and mechanical pulps has found a special place. These pulps have a high yield greater than 85%, but due to the presence of lignin, extracts, and metal ions, their use is limited to short-term usage, as in the long run they suffer from brightness reversion and photo-yellowing. This study aimed to investigate the effect of DTPA, nano-cellulose, and nano-chitosan spray on the optical properties of chemical-mechanical pulp (CMP). Materials and methods: For this purpose, first, a quantity of bleached chemical-mechanical pulp (CMP) was selected as a control sample from Mazandaran wood and paper industry. Papers with a base weight of 60 gr/m2 were prepared from the mentioned paper pulp. In this study, the nano-fibrillated cellulose (NFC) was purchased from Nano Novin Polymer Co. (Sari, Iran), which was prepared from softwood alpha cellulose pulp with an average fiber diameter of 32 nm. The NFC was loaded at 2% by spraying onto papersheets. Nanochitosan (“Seafresh”, Thailand), obtained from exoskeletons of crustaceans, with a deacetylation degree of 93% and a molecular weight of 270 kDa was used. Nanochitosan was loaded at 1 and 2% of the dry pulp weight. Diethylene triamine penta acetic acid (DTPA) was prepared from DIPER-Samchun (South Korea), with a 50% solid content and 25 cps viscosity. To spray the DTPA onto the paper surface, 0.5% DTPA was prepared. To prepare samples for the surface modification, paper sheets with a basis weight of 60 g/m2 were made. Then, 0.5% DTPA, 2% nanochitosan, and 2% nanocellulose were sprayed separately on the papersheets. In addition, another treatment named mixed-solution (containing 0.5 % DTPA + 2% nanochitosan + 2% nanocellulose) was sprayed onto the handsheets. The spraying time and distance were 20 s and 20 cm, respectively, and the treatment process was named “spray-coated”. Then, the optical properties (brightness, opacity, yellowness, and greenness) of the hand-sheets were measured according to ASTM and TAPPI standard methods. Results:The results showed that by DTPA, nano-cellulose, and nano-chitosan spray in the handsheet paper, brightness, yellowness, greenness, L* factor, and the opacity increased and the a* factor decreased. By spraying nano-cellulose on the test samples, most of the optical properties were significantly improved except for the yellowness of the hand-sheet paper. In addition, the most appropriate properties were observed in the paper obtained from DTPA spray and also in the simultaneous spray treatment of DTPA, nano-cellulose, and nano-chitosan on hand-sheet papers. Therefore, it has caused a very sensible increase and improvement in all the optical properties, which can be selected and suggested as the best treatment. The evaluation results of the brightness reversion of the hand-sheet paper from CMP pulp showed that most of the treatments led to a relative reduction of the return of the paper brightness. On the other hand, the lowest and highest brightness return values in the hand-sheet paper were obtained from 0.5% DTPA spray and nano-chitosan spray, respectively. The evaluation results of the SEM images of the test samples compared to the control sample showed that the hand-sheet paper with nano-chitosan and nano-cellulose spray and also in the simultaneous spray treatment of DTPA, nano-cellulose, and nano-chitosan had more favorable surface and structural properties. The existence of less empty spaces (cavity) and more overlap of fibers in the test samples can be a reason for the higher quality of the properties, as well.Conclusion:The results showed that by spraying nanocellulose, nano- chitosan and DTPA on the test samples, the optical properties, brightness, greenness, opacity, a* factor, l* factor , yellowness and brightness durability improved. In addition, among the various treatments, the DTPA treatment in long-term thermal aging and the use of nano-chitosan and nano-cellulose in the short-term aging had noticeable effects on brightness durability and decrease in the color reversion. As a result, there was an increase in the durability of the paper against thermal deterioration.

For this purpose, the samples were randomly selected from soda unbleached pulp of Pars mill. The first, pulp flour provided and measured ash and extractive percent by the TAPPI standards. Then the mineral compounds dissolved in 65% nitric acid and the mineral compounds of pulps identificated by Atomic adsorption method. The results of this study showed that the most of Pb, Cu, Zn ions were in H2O2 bleached pulp, the most of Ni ion in OD(Ep)P stage and the most of Fe ion in unbleached soda pulp. The results showed that OD(Ep)D stage decrease Fe ion and EH stage decrease Ni, Cu and Zn ions in pulps. The results of GC-MS diagram showed that 35 compounds were identified in unbleached soda pulp after cooking, that 1,2-Benzendicarboxylic acid, Hexadecanoic acid, Hexadecan, Octadecan, p-Xylene, 4-Hydroxy-4-Methyl-2-Pantanone,Ethylbenzen and Dodecan were important chemical components in samples. In generally, 17,12 and 14 compounds were identified in EH, OD(Ep)P and OD(Ep)D bleaching stages, respectively, so that, 1,2-Benzendicarboxylic acid and p-Xylene were 2 common and important chemical components in all samples and Octadecan and 9-Dodecanoic acid remove as two components from pulps after bleaching, too. The results showed that EH, OD(Ep)P and OD(Ep)D bleaching stages were very important in bleaching, removal of chemical components and brightness stability of soda pulps.

This research was carried out to identification and comparison of organically chemical component in the wood / bark extractives Eucalyptus camaldulensis. Three healthy trees were cut down from Nowshahr forest and samples were converted into the wood flour. The extractives was prepared with acetone solvent according to TAPPI standard, then transfer to the ballon and then the BSTFA catalyst was added and transfer to the GC / MS injections. Identification of components was done according to the retention time curve, calculation of Kovats correlation and Adams table. Out of 13 components in the bark of Eucalyptus and 18 components in that wood, 2 constituents such as Bis (2 - ethyl hexyl) phthalate and hexadecanoic acid was detected as the same. The most important of chemical component in the bark is (2 _ ethyl hexyl) phthalate (98.72 %). 2 - Pentanone (57.41 %) was important component in the eucalyptus wood .

Sweet locust and False Acacia are important species of northern forests region with wood having good durability. In this study, three disks from each species were randomly cut in Nowshahr forest region. For homogenous sampling, first wood flour was prepared from each disk according to TAPPI standards and then mixed together. Acetone was used to remove extractives from both Sweet locust and False acacia wood flour. Extracts were analyzed by GC/MS. For the identification of compounds, GC diagram which shows abundance and retention time of each compound and calculation of quartz index and Adams table were used. The results showed that there are almost 150 compounds in False Acacia wood, and among them Resorcinol(19.47%),1,3-Benzendiol(6.92%) ,Stigma sterol (5.45%), 9-Octadecenoic acid(3.55%),1H-Imidazol(3.08%),Gamma-sitosterol (2.77%) and Gamma-Terpinene(0.22%) were the predominant compounds. There are 37 compounds in Sweet locust wood, that 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid (90.38%),Stigmast-4-en-3-one(2.62%),Resorcinol(1.07%),Silicon grease (0.73%), Gibberellins A3(0.14%) and Phenol(0.09%) were important compounds. Resorcinol and 1, 2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid occurs both in Sweet locust and False acacia woods. The presence of high percentage of Resorcinol (20%) in Sweet locust and 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid (90.38%) in False acacia are attributed for the durability of these species.
