Sodyum borhidrürün Pinus brutia Ten ve buğday sapı hamurlarının peroksit ağartması üzerindeki etkileri

Abstract

Peroksit ağartmasında sodyum borohidrür (NaBH4) ilavesinin, kızılçam (Pinus brutia) ve buğday sapı hamurlarının ağartma verimi, mekanik ve optik özellikleri üzerindeki etkileri araştırılmıştır. Hamurlar, %7'lik sabit bir hidrojen peroksit oranında, %0, %0.5, %1.0 ve %1.5 oranlarında NaBH4 eklenerek dört farklı ağartma koşuluna tabi tutulmuştur. Her iki hamur çeşidinin peroksit ağartma işleminde NaBH4 kullanılması ağartma verimini artırmıştır. Ağartma işleminde NaBH4 kullanımı kağıtların kopma ve patlama indisleri dahil olmak üzere hamurların mekanik özelliklerini iyileştirdiğini göstermiştir. NaBH4 ilavesi ile hamurların optik özellikleri de iyileştirilmiştir. Mekanik ve optik özelliklerdeki artış, artık hidrojen peroksitin azalmasına ve metal iyonlarının uzaklaştırılmasına bağlanabilirken, sarılıktaki azalma, hamurun oksidatif bozunmasına neden olabilecek metal iyonlarının uzaklaştırılmasından kaynaklandığı düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın bulguları, peroksit ağartmada bir katkı maddesi olarak NaBH4 eklenmesinin, P. brutia ve buğday sapı hamurlarının mekanik ve optik özelliklerini iyileştirmek için umut verici olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.

Effects of sodium borohydride on peroxide bleaching of Pinus brutia Ten. and wheat straw pulps

Abstract

The addition of sodium borohydride (NaBH4) to peroxide bleaching has been investigated for its effects on the bleaching yield, mechanical and optical properties of Pinus brutia and wheat straw pulps. The pulps were subjected to four different bleaching conditions by adding charges of NaBH4 at 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5%, while keeping a constant hydrogen peroxide charge of 7%. The use of NaBH4 in the peroxide bleaching processes of the two pulps increased the bleaching yields. The results show that the addition of NaBH4 significantly improved the mechanical properties of the pulps, including tensile and burst indices. The optical properties of the pulps were also improved with the addition of NaBH4. The increase in mechanical and optical properties can be attributed to the reduction of residual hydrogen peroxide and the removal of metal ions, while the decrease in yellowness is due to the removal of metal ions that can cause oxidative degradation of the pulp. The findings of this study suggest that the addition of NaBH4 as an additive in peroxide bleaching is a promising approach to improve the mechanical and optical properties of P. brutia and wheat straw pulps, which can be further explored in future research.
