Slide 17 Next steps Increase capacity Fine tuning Valorize Byproducts Sale/upgrade of rosin rich pitch 30-40 % Rosin Recovery of anthraquinone Recovery of phytosterols
Slide 18 CelluNova project From forest to textiles and apparels
Slide 19 Cellulose is truly a green material Regenerated cellulosic fibres is made from forest raw material Attractive price/cost Very large raw material base Excellent LCA Low water use No fertiliser No pesticides/insecticides Flexible fibres of widely different qualities can be made High tenacity / High Wet modulus Soft, smooth or stiff fibers Can be blended with other fibers/polymers
Slide 20 New business opportunity for the forest industry Forest industry in search for new markets for cellulose products Scandinavian pulp mills have modern, energy efficient machinery Over 10 million ton cellulosic pulp is produced in Scandinavia every year Very low carbon footprint operations Operating in harmony with environment, no or very low emissons All infrastructure is in place for manufacturing of dissolving pulp / staple fiber Environmentally superior sulfur free pulping processes under commercialisation ( NovaCell) Sulfur free by products sa lignin Hydrolysates Furfural Organic acids
Slide 21 CelluNova project Partners Project initiative by KIRAM AB in 2008 Research, development and demonstration project ( 2009-2012) Managed within EcoBuild - a Vinnova Excellence Center Project Manager Dr. Mats Westin Industrial / Institutional Partners University/Institutional partners EcoBuild SP Trätek SwereaIVF IKEA H&M Södra Skogsägarna Svenskt Konstsilke SKS Lunds University Physical Chemistry Theoretical Chemistry Chem.Eng LTH Karlstad University Cellulose Technology University of Coimbra Chalmers Innventia IBWCh KIRAM KIRAM
Slide 22 Basic elements of Fiber (wet) spinning Polymer is precipitated from the solution and a gel filament containing solvent is formed. A surface layer is formed, which will continue to coagulate towards the inside. The solvent diffuses from the inside of the filament to the surface into the spin bath. Processing variables: concentration and temperature of the spinning solution, composition, concentration and temperature of the spin bath, stretch applied during spinning.
Slide 23 Sulfur chemicals free alkaline pulp mill biorefinery NovaCell alkaline dissolving pulp mill Spinning plant Wood Pretreatment Cooking Post treatment Dissolving Spinning Staple fiber Solvent recycle Chemicals recovery Power, Biofuels, Sulfur free lignin Hemicelluose
Slide 24 CelluNova fiber Challenges and opportunities Low wet strength < 10 cn/tex Improvement scope Spinndope blending Coagulation bath design/chemistry Stretching Higher cellulose content/higher Dp Yarn blending twinning Low cost potential Easy process integration Nontoxic solvents Nonexplosive solvents Blending with other fibers Excellent LCA
