Removal of xylan from birch kraft pulps and the effect of its removal on fiber properties, colloidal interactions and retention in papermaking
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of xylan removal on the retention properties of bleached birch kraft pulps was investigated in both laboratory and pilot-scale environments, making it possible to assess the effects of applied pulp treatments on colloidal charge interactions taking place in the wet end of a papermaking process.

Nanotechnology application on bamboo materials: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the characteristics and nanomechanical behavior of bamboo in mesoscopic and nanoscopic scale have been introduced, and some analyses on the improvement of some properties of nano-modified bamboo materials have been made.
Plasma modification of wood to improve the performance of clear coatings
Haase Masek,Jonathan George +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a literature review of clear coating performance on wood exposed outdoors is presented, with a focus on the effect of microorganisms on performance of clear coatings on wood.
Impact of Residual Extractives on Lignin Determination in Kraft Pulps
TL;DR: In this article, the amount of residual extractives in kraft pulps and oxygen-delignified pulps from loblolly pine, white birch, and aspen, as well as their impact on the kappa number and Klason lignin determinations were investigated.

Pretreatment of lignocellulosic wastes to improve ethanol and biogas production: a review.
TL;DR: Effective parameters in pretreatment of lignocelluloses, such as crystallinity, accessible surface area, and protection by lignin and hemicellulose are described first, and several pretreatment methods are discussed and their effects on improvement in ethanol and/or biogas production are described.

Pretreatment of lignocellulose: Formation of inhibitory by-products and strategies for minimizing their effects
Leif J. Jönsson,Carlos Martín +1 more
TL;DR: The importance of management of inhibition problems is envisaged to increase as issues that become increasingly relevant will include the possibility to use recalcitrant feedstocks, obtaining high product yields and high productivity, minimizing the charges of enzymes and microorganisms, and using high solids loadings to obtain high product titers.

Recent trends in global production and utilization of bio-ethanol fuel
Mustafa Balat,Havva Balat +1 more
TL;DR: The most widely used bio-fuel for transportation worldwide is bio-ethanol from sugar cane, which is essentially a clean fuel and has several clear advantages over petroleum-derived gasoline in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality in metropolitan areas as mentioned in this paper.

Progress in bioethanol processing
TL;DR: A review of the biological and thermochemical methods that could be used to produce bioethanol is made and an analysis of its global production trends is carried out in this paper, where the authors evaluate the utilization of different feedstocks (i.e., sucrose containing, starchy materials, lignocellulosic biomass) is required considering the big share of raw materials in bio-ethanol costs.
