Bright possibility to extract hydrogen peroxide from lignin

By exposing the lignin in the pulp to daylight, a photocatalytic production of hydrogen peroxide takes place inside the pulp process. – This could mean a real simplification of the manufacturing process for bleached paper. You simply skip the step of adding hydrogen peroxide from the outside. Instead, the mass is exposed to light, explains […]

Artificial lignin detected when the pulping process is closely studied

Lignin has gone from a residual product to becoming highly interesting as a raw material for more value-creating products. However, there are still many knowledge gaps around lignin, something that Nicola’s research together with Stora Enso has helped to fill. Nicola’s research is now highlighted in an interview on BioInnovation’s website. Read more at bioinnovation.se

Fabricating well-performing electronic paper using standard papermaking techniques

This article is part of a news series where we highlight the latest research from our Treesearch partners and within the Treesearch thematic research areas. Articles are published regularly once a month. The presented study explores the mixture of common cellulosic pulp fibers with conducting nanographite flakes from 2Dfab, a high-performance electroactive material. The resulting

Aerogels of nanocellulose purify water by the use of sunlight

The study was recently published in Advanced Sustainable Systems. – The rate of evaporation is four to five times higher than for direct evaporation, which means we can purify larger volumes of water, says Simone Fabiano, research leader in the field of organic nanoelectronics, the Laboratory of Organic Electronics, Linköping university.
