Background and aim: As a result of population growth, paper and wood products consumption has increased, and restrictions on using forest wood raw materials initiated the utilization poplar trees as fast-growing spices. The aim of this study was to focus on identification and comparison of the phenolic chemical components in poplar woods (Populus nigra and Populus deltoides).
Materials and methods: In this study, three trees from each poplar tree were randomly felled in plantation near Nowshar, Iran. Then three discs were cut from each log. At first, wood was grounded and then wood flour extractive were measured using TAPPI standard procedure. Wood flour was extracted by acetone and extractives residue was added to BSTFA reactor and samples were kept in constant temperature bath at 70oC for an hour. The extractive samples were then analyzed by GC/MS. The compounds were identified using GC diagram which shows abundance and retention time of each compound, and calculation of quartz index and Adams table.
Results: The result of GC-MS showed that there exist 68 and 105 compounds in wood of Populus nigra and Populus detoides, respectively. di-Limonene (30.26%), bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (10.07%), Gamma-Sitosterol (1.06%), Hexadecanoic acid (2.0%), gamma-Terpinene (4.02%) and 4-Hydroxy-Benzoic acid (3.62%) were the most important compounds in wood of Populus detoides. There were the Limonene (25.62%), Anymol (5.29%), gamma-Terpinene (3.38%), 1, 2-Benzandicarboxylic acid (2.00%) and bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (0.68%) as the most important compounds in wood of Populus nigra.
Conclusion: The gas chromatographs showed that Limonene, Benzene methanol, alpha-Terpineol, beta-Bisabolene, Hexadecanoic acid and bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate were the 7 common compounds in the wood of Populus nigra and Populus deltoides. These compounds can play an important role in the durability and consumption of these woods.

Background and Objectives: Plant extractives show unique properties. They impart colors and change the color of wood and generates attractive appearance. Since early days, societies have been utilizing plant extractives in industrial, medical and even as fungicides and biocides. In early times this application was based on the professional experiences, but as the sciences were advanced, then the technical and experimental identification and utilization was employed. In general, people look at walnut tree wood and fruit as its economic values. However, scientific research has proved the values of walnut tree extractives. In this study the chemical composition of walnut tree extractives and its variation in two periods of spring and summer as well as the impact of the drying on quantity and quality of the extractive components are investigated.Methodology: Walnut tree leaves from a selected location of an old walnut tree (100 years old) in mountain region of Karaj were collected in spring and summer. One part of the samples was air dried and another portion was used at green moisture condition. Totally four samples were obtained. Ethanol-acetone extraction was according to Tappi T204-05 procedure. The extractive was identified using GC-MASS spectroscopy and the chemical components in the extractives were identified and tabulated. Results: The results revealed that the dried leaves contain fewer chemical compounds compared to green samples which can be an indication that some of the compounds in green sample are volatile and vaporize upon drying. Furthermore, the extractives chemical composition and content varies between spring and summer samples. The major chemical compounds identified were 2-methylneptaline, tri-decan, tetradecan, 2,3-dimethyl naptaline and methylcyclobenzen.Conclusion: The results indicated the seasonal variation of walnut tree extractives. These is also considerable variation in wet and dry samples which can be attributed to the presence of volatile compounds. The odor of walnut leaves is the consequence of existence of such volatile extractives. The absence of some of the compounds in summer samples indicate the seasonal changes of the extractives.

DOR:98.1000/1735-0913.1398.34.16.66.1.1575.1603 One of the most important sources of environmental pollution is dye from industrial wastewater which is harmful for human health and environment. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate removal of Methylene Blue (MB) dye from aqueous solutions by straw using ultrasonic wave with response surface methodology. The batch experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of dye concentration, contact time, adsorbent dosage and pH on dye removal from aqueous solution. Response surface methodology was applied to appraise the effect of these different variables. The dye concentration in the solutions was measured by spectrophotometer at the wavelength of 664 nm. The results showed that the optimum parameter values for maximum color removal efficiency were: dye concentration 20 mg/L, reaction time 8 min, dose of adsorbent 4 g/L and pH=9. The Maximum and minimum dye removal were obtained 92.29 and 47.5 percent, respectively. Analysis of variances test showed that the quadratic model was the best model to explain the interaction of variables. Based on analysis of variance (ANOVA), the coefficient of determination value (R2 =0.9116) was high, showing that the experimental values fitted well with the predicted values. In addition, the statistical analysis of the results indicated that in the range studied, dose of adsorbent and pH had a significant effect on color removal efficiency. The Gibbs free energy and enthalpy data verified its spontaneous and endothermic nature. In addition, survey of pseudo first and second order kinetics models presented that the adsorption process was compatible to pseudo-second order kinetics equation.

Chemical and biological treatment of dye- containing wastewaters is difficult due to the low adsorption level and chemical stability of dyes. Activated carbon is usually used for adsorption of these materials, but because of high prices and restore problems, researchers trying to find available low-cost materials with high adsorption. In this study, bagasse was used for adsorption of Remzol Black B dye and its capability was examined. Variables were concentration, temperature, pH and contact time, and the degree of adsorption was examined in different situations. Then, adsorption isotherm according to Langmuir and Freundlich models was investigated. The results showed that the adsorption efficiency depends more on pH of solution and less on temperature of the solution. Maximum adsorption of Remzol Black B dye by bagasse occurred in the first 15 minutes of contact. The study of adsorption isotherm showed that both models are suitable for description of adsorption of Remzol Black B dye by bagasse. Maximum adsorption of Remzol Black B dye by bagasse was calculated as 7.51 mg/g. Results of this study showed that bagasse could be used as a low-cost bio adsorbent for the adsorption of Remzol Black B from aqueous solution.

Mazandaran wood and paper industry is known as the largest manufacturer of paper in the Middle East. Black liquor is liquid product of pulp cooking chemical process, which is much polluted because of some organic and inorganic compounds. So, chemical and energy recovery of black liquor are one of the interesting studies. There are different ways for this one among them concentration method of liquor is used in Mazandaran wood and paper industry. In this work, Condensing unit of liquor was simulated by Hysys software. Then, simulation results were compared with factory data and acceptable results were obtained. In the next step, the effect of operating conditions of the two main feed streams was studied. The results showed that with increasing of dilute liquor temperature, concentration of output liquor flow increases as per 40°C increasing of temperature, almost 28 percent of the condensed value increases. Also, by 10 kPa increasing of the dilute liquor pressure, approximately 39% of condensed value decreases. By increasing the pressure and flow rate of steam, concentration of output liquor somewhat increases, while, this increasing for flow rate, is initially steep and then less steep. The effect of steam temperature on the concentration of output liquor at different pressures must be checked individually.

In this research, two types of lignin, i.e. one extracted from industrial waste water of the Iran wood and paper (choka) factory as black liquor and another provided from Aldrich company, were studied. Firstly, the lignin was precipitated from its black liquor by a dilute acid and was then purified by dissolving in tetrahydrofuran (THF). Lignin samples were characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR) spectroscopies. It was found from results that the Aldrich lignin has a structure similar with the lignosulfonate while lignin extracted from black liquor does not have a hydrophilic sulfonate group and has a Kraft lignin structure. Using acetylation of Kraft lignin and complementary characterization with 1HNMR spectroscopy, the ratio of hydroxyl functional groups to methoxy groups was calculated to be 1.11 to 1, and amount of the hydroxyl groups was calculated to be 5.91 mmol/g of acetylated lignin, where 53% of the hydroxyl groups is related to the aromatic hydroxyl groups. By having the molecular weight of the Kraft lignin which was obtained from the gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analysis of the acetylated Kraft lignin to be 1260 g/mol, average number of the hydroxyl groups per acetylated lignin chain was calculated to be 7.44.

In this study, changes in optical behavior of Poplar Kraft lignin before and after methylation by using dimethyl sulphate, was monitored by measuring optical indices ( brightness,light absorbtion coefficient, light scattering coefficient,light absorbtion coefficient to light scattering coefficient ratio and Post-Color numbers) of impregnated papers following accelerated photo aging. The structural changes in lignin caused by methylation reaction, were verified by using fourier transform infar red( FT-IR) spectroscopy. The results showed that, by methylation of lignin, it was observed that, in methylated lignin-containing papers, the extent and stability of brightness is more and post- color number is less compared to control samples. In methylated samples, even the strange phenomenon of photo bleaching was observed. Therefore, it was found that, methylation of lignin can prevent the formation of quinone groups and increases the stability of the optical indices in the photo aging conditions.Keywords: Kraft lignin, methylation treatment, accelerated photo- aging, optical indices,lignin-containing papers.

The effects of different fines with different shape and size of mechanical Pulp on Paper Properties in two fractions was investigated. Fines was classified in two categories including fibrils and flakes , and then effect of these particles on pulp properties was studied.The fibril fraction was consist of fibrillar material, i.e., ribbons, fibrils, and thin lamella particles. The flake fraction consist of flake like material i.e., fiber wall fragments and thick lamella. An advanced image analysis method was used to characterize the properties of fibrils and flakes. The results indicate that the fibrils and flake fractions have distinct characteristics and effect on sheet properties. The fibrils strongly affected the strength properties, while the flakes improved light scattering. Generally, the smaller size Particles afforded higher sheet density and strength. Fines content and fibrillar material are very important parameters in mechanical pulping and can also affect quality controlling of mechanical pulp and papermaking.

The influence of oxygen delignification as an environmental friendly process, was investigated on Soda/AQ pulp from Old Corrugated Container (OCC) fibers. Oxygen delignification at four levels of alkali (2, 3, 4 and 6% based on OD weight of pulp) has been applied and the optimum alkalinity to reach optimum Kappa no, yield and brightness, opacity and strength based on 60 g/m2 hand sheets were determined. The results indicated that application of oxygen delignification marginally reduced the opacity of the pulp. Tear strength increased where as tensile and burst strength decreased. Based on the comparison of the data from oxygen delignified pulp, it is concluded that oxygen can be utilized to improve the properties of soda-AQ pulp from OCC prepared for bleaching step. Carbohydrates are preserved while removing lignin. Normalized equations revealed that oxygen delignification at 3% alkali produced the best results.

Characteristics of pulp and paper mill solid wastes depend generally on the raw materials, stock preparation process as well as wastewater treatment plant. In order to determine the best application of paper mill solid wastes, physicochemical properties of solid waste produced in the Mazandaran Wood and Paper Industry Co. and Latif Paper Co. were analyzed. The dry content, pH, fiber dimensions, composition of organic and inorganic compounds of the both solid were analyzed. The dry content of the produced wastes in Latif and Mazandran were determined as 69.3 and 36.7 percent, respectively. The pH of both wastes was close to neutral (pH/7.0). The fiber length of Latif and Mazandaran wastes were 1.68 and 1.08 mm, respectively. In addition, the total amount of carbohydrates, glucose and mannose quantity in the Latif waste were determined as 48.09, 29.5 and 7.2 percent that were higher than that of Mazandaran waste. In the contrary, the lignin, xylose and galactose content of Mazandaran waste were determined as 15.3, 17.3 and 3.7 percent that were higher than those of Latif waste. The mineral content of Latif and Mazandarn wastes were determined 44.7 and 39.5 percent, respectively. XRF analyses revealed that the predominant elements in the incinerated ash of both wastes contained calcium oxide, aluminum oxide and silicon oxidethat can be used as raw material for lightweight concrete and zeolite synthesis.

In this study, changes in optical behavior of poplar Kraft lignin and bagasse Soda lignin, before and after reducing with sodium borohydride and sodium hydrosulfite (dithionite) and also after methylation using dimethyl sulfate, was monitored by measuring optical indices (brightness, k/s, whiteness and Post-Color numbers) of impregnated papers following accelerated thermal aging. The structural changes in lignins caused by reductive reactions, were mostly verified by using absorbance changes (UV-Vis spectrometry) and FI-IR spectroscopy. It was observed that, regarding elimination of chromophoric carbonyl and quinone groups, sodium borohydride showed better and more sustainable performance than sodium hydrosulfite. Therefore, it could be inferred that to improve the brightness of lignin-containing papers and persistance of this brightness, sodium borohydride could exhibit more efficiency and higher applicability.

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.

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.

In this paper, a novel enzymatic method was evaluated for isolation and purification of wood lignin. The chemical structure of enzymatic lignin (Cellulytic lignin) was compared with conventional Bjorkman method (Milled wood lignin). The chemical structure elucidation was performed with FTIR, quantative 13CNMR, basic elemental analysis and Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC). The results showed that enzymatic lignin preparation has a better chemical structure than MWL. Comparing to conventional isolation methods, application of an enzyme sequence with reduced milling time could lead to a mild extraction with less structural degradation of lignin. Resulting lignin could be more representative for wood lignin than milled wood lignin.
