Is particularly sensitive to alkaline cleavage. The decrease in uronic acid content
Results in a drastic decrease in the solubility of the xylan in aqueous alkaline solutions.
This leads to the well-known phenomenon of xylan reprecipitation onto the
Surface of pulp fibers during the final kraft cooking phase, as demonstrated by
Yllner-Enstrom when treating a mixture of cotton linters and xylan extracted from
birch at kraft cooking conditions [9,10]. The significantly higher enrichment of
Xylan in the surface layers of kraft pulps as compared to sulfite pulps has been
Confirmed by Dahlmann and Sjoberg, who applied an enzymatic peeling technique
To characterize carbohydrate composition across the cell wall layers of both
softwood and hardwood pulp fibers [11].
When examining the properties of paper pulps, sulfite and kraft pulps differ in
Two major characteristics. First, kraft pulps show a much higher resistance
Towards beating than do sulfite pulps. For sulfite pulps it requires less time to
Reach a given drainage resistance as compared to kraft pulps. Second, sheets from
sulfite pulps are considerably lower in tear (22%) and burst (17%) strengths, and
somewhat lower in tensile (10%) as compared to kraft pulp sheets [12]. At the
Same tensile index, kraft pulps typically exceed sulfite pulps in tearing strength by
40–80% [13]. It was reported that over the cellulose content range of 44–80%, the
Fiber strength is directly proportional to the cellulose content, but above a value of
80% cellulose content the fiber strength greatly diminishes [14]. This may be due
to the replacement of flexible cellulose–hemicellulose–cellulose bonds by the
more rigid cellulose–cellulose bonds.
Page proposed a concept based on supramolecular properties to explain differences
Between sulfite and kraft pulps. Sulfite pulp is seen as containing largely
Crystalline and paracrystalline cellulose, whereas in kraft pulp substantial transformation
Of the paracrystalline regions to the amorphous state has occurred. The
Relationship to the degree of order has been established by measuring the level-off
DP (LODP), which is a simple means of determining the mean crystalline length
[13]. Furthermore, Page suggested that paracrystalline regions in native cellulose
Fibrils are transformed into amorphous regions during pulp processing that are
Viscoelastic and capable of absorbing more energy under mechanical stress. The
