Book Synopsis Assessment of the Economic (pulping and Pulp Quality) Effects of Increased Lodgepole Pine in SPF Chip Mixtures by : Barbara Dalpke
Download or read book Assessment of the Economic (pulping and Pulp Quality) Effects of Increased Lodgepole Pine in SPF Chip Mixtures written by Barbara Dalpke and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is part of a series of research papers that explore the biological, social, and economic aspects of British Columbia's mountain pine beetle epidemic. It examines British Columbia's market kraft and mechanical pulps, which are produced from interior spruce, pine and fir (SPF) and are significant for the province's economy. The chips used to produce SPF pulp are a residual material from lumber operations and are traditionally composed of approximately 30% spruce, 65% lodgepole pine and 5% subalpine fir. However, due to the mountain pine beetle epidemic in the province, this balance is subjected to climb to a pine content of 80% to 90% as salvage harvesting of attacked and dead lodgepole pine stands increases. This study quantitatively and qualitatively defines pulp quality changes with changing chip mixture in order to increase understanding of problems that can be anticipated with changing chip quality needs.--Includes text from Government of Canada publications site and from document.
Book Synopsis Assessing the Influence of Time-since-death by : Barbara Dalpke
Download or read book Assessing the Influence of Time-since-death written by Barbara Dalpke and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is part of a series of research papers that explore the biological, social, and economic aspects of British Columbia's mountain pine beetle (MPB) epidemic. It presents the results of pilot plant Kraft and mechanical pulping trials that were conducted to determine the influence of time-since-death (TSD) of (MPB)-killed lodgepole pine on pulping and pulp quality. Samples included trees of red, grey and late grey attack stages as well as unattacked trees; sample sites were established in three different biogeoclimatic subzones in British Columbia in order to account for natural variability. Prior to pulping, samples were tested for wood and fibre properties as well as chip quality. Kraft and thermomechanical (TMP) pulping parameters were monitored, pulp quality was determined, and sheet structure was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy.--Includes text from document.

Book Synopsis Small-diameter Trees Used for Chemithermomechanical Pulps by : Gary C. Myers
Download or read book Small-diameter Trees Used for Chemithermomechanical Pulps written by Gary C. Myers and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To restore and maintain forest ecosystem health and function in the western interior of the United States, many small-diameter stems need to be removed from densely stocked stands. In general, these materials are underutilized. Information on the properties of these resources is needed to help forest managers understand when timber sales are a viable option to accomplish ecosystem management objectives. Providing proof that this small-diameter material yields quality pulp would help increase its value and therefore help remove it from the forest. This study examines the acceptability of the small-diameter resource as a raw material for high-yield chemithermomechanical pulping (CTMP), which has the potential for improved fiber characteristics and paper strength compared with those of thermomechanical pulping (TMP). Pulps using CTMP were prepared from lodgepole pine and mixed Douglas-fir/western larch sawmill residue chips; lodgepole pine, Douglas-fir, and western larch submerchantable logs; and lodgepole pine, Douglas-fir, and western larch small trees. These small-diameter pulps were compared with commercially obtained sawmill residue chips of a Douglas-fir/western larch mixture and lodgepole pine. These pulps were also evaluated to see if CTMP improved the properties of the final product compared with products made using TMP. Compared with the controls, the CTMP prepared from Douglas-fir and lodgepole pine small trees and Douglas-fir submerchantable logs consumed more electrical energy during pulp preparation and had higher paper strength properties and lower optical properties. Also compared with the controls, lodgepole pine submerchantable logs consumed about the same electrical energy and had marginal strength properties and higher optical properties. Western larch submerchantable logs and small trees had the lowest electrical energy consumption of all pulps tested, low strength properties, but some of the higher optical properties. Western larch submerchantable logs and small trees appear to be unsuitable for CTMP. For the majority of the materials, CTMP improved the properties of the final product compared with corresponding TMP.
Book Synopsis Pilot Mechanical Pulping Assessment of Dry Blue-stained and Grey-stage Wood Chips from Beetle-killed Lodgepole Pine by : Thomas Qiuxiong Hu
Download or read book Pilot Mechanical Pulping Assessment of Dry Blue-stained and Grey-stage Wood Chips from Beetle-killed Lodgepole Pine written by Thomas Qiuxiong Hu and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The overall goal of this project is to determine the level of dry blue-stained wood chips and the level of grey-stage wood chips that can be economically utilized by BC mechanical pulp producers. The target objectives are two-fold: (1) to determine the maximum levels of dead, dry blue-stained and grey-stage lodgepole pine that can be economically utilized in BC mechanical pulp mills without detrimentally affecting processing and product quality; and (2) to evaluate the economic feasibility of presteaming, chemical impregnation pretreatment and refiner operation options for dry blue-stained and grey-stage lodgepole pine wood chip utilization."--Document.

Book Synopsis Cost Implications for Thermomechanical Pulping and Brightening of Blue-stained Chips by : Thomas Qiuxiong Hu
Download or read book Cost Implications for Thermomechanical Pulping and Brightening of Blue-stained Chips written by Thomas Qiuxiong Hu and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl.) forests make up approximately 35% of British Columbia's forested land base and accounty for 25% of the province's total volume harvested. Mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopk.) is currently B. C.'s most devastating forest insect and it has wrought more destruction in mature lodgepole pine forests than any other forest insect. In an attempt to deal with the pine beetle infestation, an accelerated harvesting of pine stands damaged with this insect has been ordered by B. C. Ministry of Forests throughout the north central part of the province. Mature lodgepole pine trees attacked by the pine beetle are afflicted through the introduction of Ophiostoma piliferum, a fungus that causes blue stain in the sapwood. This preliminary study was undertaken to quantify the costs associated with thermechanical and chemithermomechanical pulping and brightening the mechanical pulps produced from blue-stained and sound lodgepole pine chips.--Document.

Book Synopsis Forest management and the impact on water resources by : García Chevesich, Pablo
Download or read book Forest management and the impact on water resources written by García Chevesich, Pablo and published by UNESCO Publishing. This book was released on 2017-04-24 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trees have been around for more than 370 million years, and today there are about 80 thousand species of them, occupying 3.5 billion hectares worldwide, including 250 million ha of commercial plantations. While forests can provide tremendous environmental, social, and economic benefits to nations, they also affect the hydrologic cycle in different ways. As the demand for water grows and local precipitation patterns change due to global warming, plantation forestry has encountered an increasing number of water-related conflicts worldwide. This document provides a country-by-country summary of the current state of knowledge on the relationship between forest management and water resources. Based on available research publications, the Editor-in-Chief of this document contacted local scientists from countries where the impact of forest management on water resources is an issue, inviting them to submit a chapter.
