Laboratory Refining of Bleached Softwood Kraft Pulp in Water and a Series of Alcohols of Different Molecular Weights and Polarities: Effects on Swelling and Fiber Length

Typical bleached pinewood kraft pulp from a paper mill was immersed in either water or different alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, and n-butanol, and then refined in a PFI mill. After refining, changes in the internal fibrillation of the fibres were evaluated by measurements of water...
