Addition of Ascorbic Acid or Purified Kraft Lignin in Pulp Refining: Effects on Chemical Characteristics, Handsheet Properties, and Thermal Stability

The effects of two pulp pretreatments, impregnation with ascorbic acid (AA) or purified kraft lignin (KL), on bleached pulp refining were investigated by examining and testing handsheets made from these pulps. The AA pretreatment of the pulp amplified the depolymerization of the cellulose and notabl...
