How to Make Paper Pulp a Better Plastic-Like Substitute
Print this Article | Send to Colleague
The previous decade’s keyword was “sustainability” and it’s not going away in the future. It is the future. Sustainability has gradually become a word used daily in our 21st Century lexicon. It seems like biodegradable and renewable substitutes for plastics, like nanocellulose, will become an important part of the effort to sustain our environment.
One of the key components is finding optimal unit operations for producing plastic-like substitutes from nanocellulose fibers. Attend the “From paper pulp to plastic – Techniques that control nanocellulose fiber quality and improve drying efficiency” webinar, hosted by GEA, held on Wednesday, December 2nd 2PM – 3PM EST, and discover how homogenization and separation technology can be used to improve the process.
Webinar attendance is free and open to everyone, but registration is required.
What to Expect:
- How waste from paper production and other plant-based manufacturing operations can be used for nanocellulose production
- Why high-pressure homogenization is the ideal method for producing the highest quality nanocellulose fibers
- The importance of pre-treatment in the fiber delamination process
- Why centrifugal separation can be used to develop a superior product in terms of quality and water content
- How it’s possible to take lab-scale findings and move them into a larger production effort
Webinar attendance is free and open to everyone, but registration is required.
