This document summarizes a study that uses dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) combined with deuterium oxide exchange to directly measure the accessible hydroxyl groups in cellulose samples, which influences cellulose reactivity. Several pulp samples were analyzed using this method. The results showed a correlation between the accessibility of hydroxyl groups and water retention values for industrially dried pulps. Never-dried pulps had relatively low accessibility, possibly because drying during the measurements affected accessibility. Equilibrium moisture content also correlated with water retention values. Further studies are needed to fully understand how drying impacts accessibility measurements.

The FuBio JR2 programme aimed to establish globally competitive knowledge platforms for new biorefinery concepts in Finland. It focused on fractionating biomass, developing advanced separation technologies, modifying biomass fractions, and applying fractions to composites, packaging, filters and health applications. The programme included eight work packages on topics like hot water extraction, novel fractionation methods, biocomposites, packaging, filters and hydroxy acids. It brought together industry and academia to advance biorefinery research. The management structure included a management group, programme manager, work package leaders and industrial tutors to oversee progress.
The FuBio Cellulose programme achieved promising results in creating new cellulose-based products in novel value chains. Key results included a breakthrough in ionic liquids research that enabled the production of textile fibers from birch cellulose. Feasibility studies of new value chains and cellulose-based processes proved valuable in guiding research. While further work is needed, the programme established collaboration and knowledge that provide a good basis for continued development of new forest industry opportunities.
Intensive forestry through more efficient forest management techniques could increase Finland's annual timber harvest by over 50% sustainably. A study analyzed scenarios of intensive versus declining forest utilization, finding that with practices like timely thinning, regeneration could increase the harvest from 55 to 85 million cubic meters while maintaining sustainability. More intensive forest management represents significant potential to boost the economy and competitiveness of forest industries through greater use of renewable forest resources.
1) Mets辰 Group is planning to convert an existing pulp mill into a biorefinery to produce bioproducts like bioenergy, biochemicals, and fertilizers from wood in a sustainable and efficient manner.
2) The biorefinery will not use fossil fuels and will emphasize high energy efficiency. It will act as the core facility with modern and efficient equipment.
3) As the first next-generation bioproduct mill in the world, it will refine wood into various bioproducts beyond just pulp, creating opportunities for small and medium enterprises to produce innovative, high value products.
This document discusses ionic liquids and their applications in wood processing and fiber production. It begins with background on ionic liquids, noting that they are molten salts with organic ions that remain liquid below 100属C. It then discusses experiments dissolving and fractionating wood with ionic liquids, finding they can separate and extract pectins without removing lignin. The document notes this challenges current understanding of wood structure. It also discusses using "next generation" distillable ionic liquids to dissolve cellulose and produce fibers that demonstrate improved mechanical properties compared to other methods like viscose and Lyocell processes. In attendance at the presentation were representatives from universities and industry collaborating on applying ionic liquids for biorefining.
Finnish researchers have developed a new process for producing textile fiber from birch wood using ionic liquids, representing a breakthrough in the sustainable production of textile fiber. The process dissolves and spins the wood fiber into filaments through an extrusion process involving ionic liquids and water. It offers advantages over traditional dissolving pulp processes and allows for large-scale production using readily available domestic birch wood. Tests show the resulting fibers have good strength properties suitable for textiles. Researchers believe the cost-effective process can be scaled up for industrial production.
The EffFibre programme focused on improving the availability and quality of wood fibre from Finnish forests and developing new pulping technologies. The programme consisted of six research areas over three years with a total budget of 11 million euros. The goals were to sustainably increase wood supply, improve the cost efficiency of harvesting, and increase pulping yields while reducing energy usage. The programme promoted collaboration across the forest industry value chain and resulted in scientific advances with potential for commercial applications.
The EffNet programme aimed to improve the competitiveness of the Finnish forest industry through developing new resource-efficient production technologies and nanocellulose-based products. The three-year programme included research on foam forming, high-consistency forming, microfibrillated cellulose applications, and production system concepts. It generated new knowledge, technologies and product concepts with significant potential to enhance efficiency and open up new business opportunities for forest companies.
This document summarizes the FIBIC Seminar 2013, which included presentations on various topics related to the forest industry such as efficient fibre supply, resource efficient fibre technologies, new cross-cluster opportunities, future biorefineries, new cellulose products, sustainable bioenergy solutions, and collaborative innovation. It also summarizes FIBIC's updated strategy for 2013-2015, which focuses on creating competence platforms through research programs and projects to facilitate industry renewal, utilizing various funding sources, including new partners, and maintaining research volume while increasing business-led consortium programs. Key performance indicators include business impact, platform attractiveness, and scientific significance. In closing, obstacles like IPR issues need to be addressed to fully realize the competence platforms
