Eucalyptus Kraft Pulp Refining

  • 10 Accesses

Abstract

The effects of operational refining variables on the structural modifications of eucalyptus pulp fibers are presented one-by-one based on studies carried out in a refining pilot plant. In this way, it is possible to identify the most important operational variables, in terms of their direct effects on the desired quality of the refined pulp. The beating process in laboratory is also described considering the most usual laboratory beaters.
