This research was accomplished in order to investigate the replacement of organic complex of Glanapone Stab with sodium silicate on optical properties of hardwood CMP pulp bleached by hydrogen peroxide. The highest brightness of 65.5% and the lowest yellowness of 21.6% was attained at silicate-free followed by replacement of 0.7% and 1.5% Glanapone. But the highest opacity 98.2% was gained using 0.5% glanapone. The brightness of paper increased to 68.1% and the yellowness decreased to 20.8. by adding of glanapone consumption from 0.4% to 0.5% in blended with 0.7% sodium silicate. At higher levels than 0.5% glanapone, the brightness of paper decreased and the yellowness increased. Using Higher levels of 1 and 1.5% glanapone in blended with 0.7% sodium silicate resulted the highest opacity 97.9% and 98%, respectively. Increasing of peroxide usage up to 5% at two different states of silicate-free and silicate-containing with glanapone resulted in the paper with higher brightness and lower yellowness and opacity. CMP pulps bleached at 120 minutes resulted the highest brightness of 71.1% and the lowest yellowness of 18.3% at silicate-containing state with glanapone. Maximum opacity of 98.3% and 98% were shown at bleaching time 30 minutes at two states silicate-free and silicate-containing state with glanapone, respectively. In this research with regard to optical properties in relation to paper produced from CMP pulp bleaching at two states silicate-free and silicate-containing with glanapone,it can be said that possibility of producing the paper with similar optical properties or even better using 0.7% or 1.5% at silicate-free is in compared to conventional hydrogen peroxide bleaching. Also, we could produce the paper with higher brightness along with lower yellowness and similar opacity followed by bleaching time of 120 minutes and hydrogen peroxide 5% in combination of 0.7% sodium silicate with 0.5% glanapone in compared to higher consumed values of sodium silicate.

In this study capability of acetylated poplar flour in manufacture of high density poly ethylene composite which expose to accelerated weathering, was investigated. The acetylation degrees at medium and zero (control) levels, use of anti- oxidant and duration of weathering were considered as variables and their effects on discoloration and photodegradation of WPC were investigated. To determine treatments influence on changes and color fade resulting from weathering, samples were tested after o, 250, 2000 hours of weathering. The results indicated that application of acetylated wood flour in WPC can reduce about 25% of weathering discoloration in short time and about 17% in long time. Also it shows that as exposed time of weathering increase Anti oxidant loss its effect. Although in short time it can reduce 12% of weathering color changes. FTIR results show that after 2000 h of weathering all peaks samples had same decrease which mean none of the treatments were useful. But Anti oxidant can reduce depth of weathering.

A fundamental study was carried out to explore the canola stalks properties in order to increase the use of abundant agricultural residuals in pulp and paper production. In this study, the morphological, chemical composition and soda pulping properties of Canola stalks were investigated. The results showed that except the thicker cell wall, the morphological properties of Canola stalks fibers were comparable to those of nonwoods and hardwoods fibers. Chemical analysis indicated that Canola stalks contains lower amount of cellulose (44%), while the lignin, hemicelluloses and ash content of Canola stalks are comparable to other non-woods. In comparison with most of non wood fiber resources, soda pulping of Canola stalks required higher chemical charge and pulping time. Soda pulping of Canola stalks in 22% active alkaline and 100 min in max temperature produced pulp with 82.6% ISO of brightness The strength properties of bleached Canola stalks soda pulp include tensile index (Nm/g), burst index (kpam2/g) & tear index (mNm2/g) showed respectively 63.6, 2.22 & 4.9.

Comparative study of pulp yield of sap wood and heart wood of Populus deltoides under both Kraft and soda cooking process have been showed that the heart wood pulp has a lower yield than that of sap wood pulp. Yield of heart wood and sap wood soda pulps was 4 percentages higher than Kraft pulp. Contrary to yield, residual lignin content (Kappa number) is more in heart wood pulp than sap wood pulp in both processes. Kappa numbers of heart wood and sap wood Kraft pulps were about 34% lower than soda pulps. The results showed that in spite of lower yield of heart wood than sap wood, the residual lignin of heart wood pulp was more than sap wood pulp. The higher delignification efficiency of Kraft cooking is related to cooking liquor compositions, especially Na2S

This study was aimed to investigate the effects of mixing OCC fibers with mixed hardwoods kraft pulp at Iran Wood and Paper Industry Co (Chuka). OCC has been repulped according to the common method in paper recycling industry and its freeness, along with that of virgin kraft pulp, were measured. The pulps were beaten to reach the required freeness values to make kraft liner paper, and have been then mixed at 10/90, 20/80, 30/70, 50/50 and 70/30 percentage rates of OCC and virgin kraft pulp, respectively. Handsheets were made from each composition and their mechanical and optical properties have been measured, according to required standard test methods, and compared with those of the control (100% virgin kraft pulp), using ANOVA method. Grouping of the mean values was done by Duncan test and normalization equation was computed to determine the best treatment. The results indicate decreasing the values of tensile, tear and burst, folding endurance and density in comparison with those of the control (100% virgin kraft pulp), but bulk, thickness and opacity have been increased. The score belonging to each treatment show to produce paper possessing proper mechanical and optical properties using OCC fibers, the allowed proportion of these fibers is 50 percent.

Two cooking temperatures)175ْC,185 ْC (and three cooking times (20,30,40 minutes) were selected .The other variables were kept constant at 18 % NaOH and l/w=8. Tensile strength, tear strength index and folding endurance of hand sheets measured . Factorial experiment and randomized block design was used for statistical analysis and DMRT was used for grouping the means. The results indicate that, application of intermediate cooking intensity produced better pulp than more intense pulping at highest pulping time and temperature. However, more intense pulping produced better folding endurance and pulp prepared at 30 minutes cooking time showed better folding endurance than pulp produced at 20 minutes. The highest tear index was obtain at 185 ْC and 20minutes and lowest at 185ْC and 40 minutes. Results indicate that undamaged fibers will product highest tear index. The highest folding endurance was produced at 175 ْC and 30 minutes and the lowest at 185ْC and 30 minutes .Increasing pulping time reduced tensile index and the highest and lowest tensile index obtained at 20 and 40 minutes pulping time respectively.

Fiber length, diameter and lumen diameter and its distribution is determined. Five stalks were randomly selected and after cleaning, the internodes and nodes of each stalk were separated. Each part was depithed manually and then experimental samples were cut from these depithed parts. Each sample was defibered according to procedure developed by Franklin, 1954. After defibration, fiber length, diameter and lumen diameter of 30 fibers were measured. Each stalk contained 10 nodes and internodes.
Average fiber length of internodes and nodes were determined at 1.004 and 0.802 millimeter respectively. The difference in averages of fiber length for different stalks, different heights in each stalk and between nodes and internodes were significant at 99% level. Fiber length distribution curves for internodes, nodes and all fibers show uniform and symmetrical distribution and the highest points in distribution curves are all at similar fiber length.
Average fiber diameter for internodes and nodes were determined at 16.8 and 20.1 µm respectively which are significantly different at 99% level. Fiber diameter distribution curves for nodes, internodes and all fibers also shows uniform and symmetrical shape, but the highest point for internodes is located at lower fiber diameter than nodes. The average lumen diameter for internodes and nodes were measured at 9.42 and 12.7 respectively which is significantly different at 99% level. The distribution curves for lumen diameter is identical to fiber diameter.
The results indicate that the fiber geometry of cornstalks is similar to hardwoods and other agricultural residues and it can be utilized for production of lower grade pulps such as fluting paper pulp.

Oil seed rape (Brassica napus) planting is increasing as the Iranian Ministry of Agriculture Jehad policy to provide supply of oil food in Iran. The objective of this study is utilization of rapeseed straw as a considerable raw material for paper industry whereas there is shortage of lignocellulosic material in Iran. Sampling was carried out from two varieties of oil seed rape, Hiola 401 and PF, based on initial compatibility experiments and yield in Mazandaran province from Baye-colla research station. The results show that at least 4 ton/hect. oven dry rapeseed straws are available. There were significant differences between fiber width, lumen diameter, ash and extractive contents in two varieties. Rapeseed straw as a lignocellulosic material was achieved at 10 score according to the five characteristics consisting of phytology, fiber dimension, fiber yield, chemical components and appearance feature. This means more studies are necessary to make a final assessment.

Permanent or durable paper is a kind of paper that has a high degree of permanence and is likely to retain the properties which influence readability and document handling when storing in a protected environment for a long period. Permanence depends mainly on the chemical stability of the paper itself. Stability may be impaired by chemical reactions involving the paper's own components and by reactive agents from the environment and human being i.e., from air or filing enclosures. Poor chemical stability produces a chain reaction which in long term storage has a pronounced adverse effect on the mechanical or optical properties of the document. The main reactions causing mechanical deterioration are acid hydrolysis and oxidation. Yellowing is due to photochemical and thermal processes. Whatever the fibers used to make paper are longer , alkaline paper making is used , cationic elements such as Fe+2, Fe+3, Cu+2, Mn+2 and kappa number of pulp are minor, it is expected that the paper made is more permanent .In this research imported bleached Eucalyptus kraft pulp was used. The used pulp was refined according to tappi test method T248 cm-85 with PFI mill to reach freeness (300±25) CSF at number of beating revolutions 12000 .Hand sheets were made according to SCAN C25-65 standard with grammage 70.AKD sizing were used 2% oven dry weight of pulp and EDTA as chelating agent was used in concentrations 0 , 0.25 , 0.5 , 0.75 percent. For more assurance deionized water was used. furthermore, 20% calcium carbonate was used as residual alkaline and filler. Then hand sheets were laid under U.V radiation with wavelengths between 330 to 440 nm in 0,10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 hours interval and were conditioned in controlled temperature and relative humidity . pH of Extractive solutions were adjusted between 7 to 7.5 . At last, each strength indices were measured with three measurement frequencies and to compare the amount of mean strengths of produced handsheets, variation analysis (ANOVA) and Duncan test were used with SPSS software and the charts were drawn with Excel software.

The average fiber length was found 1.04 millimeter and the average fiber diameter, lumen and thickness were found 28.00, 19.09, and 4.91 micrometer, respectively. Cellulose, lignin, extractive material (acetone solved) and ash were measured 41.66, 16.00, 1.63, and3.46 percent, respectively. Cooking condition was determined as follow: Soda as 16, 18, and 20 percent on the basis of rapeseed dry straw, temperature was set at 175 and 185 Cº, cooking time was set at 40 and 70 minutes, and straw to liquid ratio was set at 1/8. The amount of anthraquinone added to cooking liquor was 0.2%, based on rapeseed dry straw. Using severe cooking factors caused reduction of yield and Kappa number in both methods. Refining was performed on selected pulps in order to reach 35025 (ml,CSF) freeness. The 60 gr/m² hand sheets were made in order to determine mechanical strength and physical properties. Average thickness, density and bulk is measured at 86.4µ, 0.69gr/cm³ and 1.44cm³/gr respectively. Average tear index, burst index, breaking length and tensile indexare measured at 4.6 mN.m²/gr, 3.5 kpa.m²/gr, 7.4km and 72.6Nm/g respectively.
The results showed that however screen yield of rapeseed straw pulp is low but kappa number and mechanical properties of pulp is suitable,compared with the other agriculture residues, so Rapeseed pulp can be used in paper making industries.

This study is for identifying of the effect of refining intensity on pulp and paper properties made from eucalyptuswood. For this purpose three normal eucalyptus camaldulensis spp trees were randomly cut down from Shastkolateh Experimental Forest located in Gorgan. From each tree, one disk with 50cm thickness from breast height were selected for pulp making. Then disks converted to chips by chipper, and the chips were cooked by kraft process, the cooking conditions were as following effective alkali 20%, sulfidity 25%, tempreture 190 0C and Time 90min. After cooking and pulping process, the pulp refined with PFI Mill in 5 different intensity with 0 rpm, 500 rpm, 1500 rpm, 2500 rpm and 3500 revelutions. Then, papermaking and measuring the paper properties such as freeness, tensile strength, tear strength, burst strength and density were done. Then data were statisticaly analysed. The results indicated that, there are significant difference between pulp and paper properties made of eucalyptus camaldulensis spp wood with 5 different refining intensity in 95% confident level. As increasing of refining intensity and refining revolutions, freeness and tear strength of paper decreased but tensile strength, burst strength and density of paper incrased. However, the highest value of freeness and tear strength of paper related to refining intensity with 0rpm revelution (without refining) and highest value of tensile strength, burst strength and density of paper related to refining intensity with 3500rpm revelution

We studied the possibility of replacing imported long fiber pulp (ILFP) with kenaf bast fiber soda pulp (KBFSP) to improve the quality of paper made with bagasse soda pulp (BSP). To do so, we produced BSP with kappa number 13.5 similar to that prepared by Pars Paper Mill. We also produced KBFSP with kappa number 21.6 similar to the unbleached imported ILFP. The yield percent for BSP and KBFSP were respectively 48.9 and 55.6 %. The maximum pulping temperature was 165 °C; alkaline was 20% based on sodium hydroxide and ratio of liquor to dry weight of the raw material was 8:1. All the three pulps were beaten up to a freeness degree of 400 ml, CSF. Amounts of 0, 10, 20 and 30 percent ILFP and KBFSP were mixed with 100, 90, 80 and 70 percent BSP to produce hand sheets. In all cases of KBFSP mixing with BSP, the thickness of the generated hand sheets were higher than those produced through mixing ILFP with BSP while the density was lower. The difference in burst strength and breaking length of a mixture of 30% KBFSP with 70% BSP in the hand sheets were non-significant as compared with those of ILFP and BSP. Tear strength and opacity of mixing 30% KBFSP with 70% BSP were significantly higher than those of the ILFP and BSP with the same mixing ratio. We suggest that KBFSP provides a suitable replacement for ILFP to improve physical and strength properties of paper made with BSP.

In this study the pulping of bagasse using TMAH and EDA as organic bases was investigated and compared to conventional Soda and Soda-AQ bagasse pulping. Resulting pulps properties including Kappa number, reject, screen yield of pulp and optical and mechanical properties of handsheets prepared from them were determined and compared. Kappa number of TMAH pulp was considerably lower than others. Also, optical properties of TMAH and TMAH-NaOH pulps were considerably higher than Soda and Soda-AQ reference pulps. As well as, addition of EDA to pulping liquor resulted suitable pulp with better properties compared to Soda pulp. Based on the obtained results, it was concluded that the delignificatiom mechanism of TMAH differ to hydroxide ion from NaOH and probably it improves the delignification rate through increasing of lignin degradation and its solubility.

This study has been performed in order to determination of optimum refining of paper made of recovered Kraft liner. Recovered Kraft liner has been prepared from anzali city. After shredding into 5 centimeter pieces, the papers were soaked in distillated water in pail. After 7 days fibers was separated of each other by disintegrator and freeness for each pulp before and after refining were measured. They were refined in revolutions of 3000, 6000, 9000, 12000 by PFI mill. Hand sheets were made from each revolution in order to TAPPI standard T 205om-95 number, and then were compared with control sample. Analysis of variance of waste papers were conducted using completely randomized design, then mean values were compared, using Duncan’s test, and finally the normalization equations were used to determine the best sample. Results showed that increasing of refining revolution increased strength of burst, tensile and brightness but decrease freeness, thickness and tear strength at product. Normalization equations showed that the best papers made from refining revolution of 9000.

In this study the effects of several parameters on the sizing efficiency of test liner using poly aluminum chloride and rosin under neutral condition in reverse and premixing sizing processes were investigated. The results indicated that the individual effects of poly aluminum chloride amount, rosin amount, interval time as well as interaction effect of poly aluminum chloride -rosin amounts in both sizing processes affect significantly sizing performance. The most important variable was the poly aluminum chloride amount. The effect of poly aluminum chloride amount on the sizing efficiency depended on the properties of fiber surfaces. This study showed that the interval time on the sizing efficiency is significant. To obtain an identical degree of sizing, it is possible decrease the amount of poly aluminum chloride and rosin amounts by increasing the interval time. In addition, the results confirmed two different mechanisms involved in the premixing sizing process.
