    Influence of pulping conditions on the pulp yield and fiber properties for pulping of spruce chips by deep eutectic solvent
    (Springer, 2023) Pérez, Alan; Roy, Yagnaseni; Rip, Constantijn; Kersten, Sascha R. A.; Schuur, Boelo
    The chemical pulping of wood chips using deep eutectic solvents (DES-pulping) has emerged as an alternative technology to conventional pulping in the paper industry, allowing the production of pulp in combination with the recovery of lignin and sugars for valorization. A challenge in the development of this technology is the understanding of how the operating conditions influence the crucial pulp manufacturing parameters such as delignification percentage, pulp yield, and fiber quality. This work is focused on investigating the effect of operating conditions such as cooking temperature, cooking time, liquor-to-wood ratio, initial water content on DES, type of mixing, the addition of a pre-treatment step (pre-impregnation of DES into the wood chips) to cooking process, and DES composition (lactic acid:choline chloride, lactic acid:sodium chloride, and lactic acid:sodium bromide) on the cooking of wood chips by DES. A shortcut quality evaluation parameter (Q), defined as the product of the fiber length and the degree of delignification quantified the quality of the pulping process in a single value, shows values similar to a reference unbleached kraft pulp for cooking at 130 °C in a range of cooking times from 3 to 4.5 h at a L/W of 10:1 by using lactic acid:choline chloride DES. More elaborate property analysis on the fibers showed that several of the the quality-indicating properties of the fibers (coarseness, shape factor, fibril area, and crill index) are comparable with typical sulfite pulping fibers.

    Effect of printing parameters on mechanical performance of material-extrusion 3D-printed PEEK specimens at the point-of-care
    (MDPI, 17.01.2023) Zarean, Paridokht; Zarean, Parichehr; de Wild, Michael; Thieringer, Florian M.; Sharma, Neha; Seiler, Daniel; Malgaroli, Patrick
    Additive manufacturing (AM) of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) biomaterials using the material-extrusion (MEX) method has been studied for years. Because of the challenging manufacturing process, precisely controlling printing parameters is crucial. This study aimed to investigate the effects of printing parameters such as orientation and position of printing on mechanical properties. Thus, 34 samples were printed using PEEK filament and the MEX process. Samples were divided into two main groups (A,B) according to their printing orientations (A: groups 1–3) and positions on the build plate (B: groups 4–8). Mechanical tensile tests were performed to evaluate the effects of different printing orientations and positions on mechanical properties. The means of the tensile modulus in samples 3D-printed in XY (group 1), XZ (group 2), and ZX (group 3) orientations were not significantly different (p-value = 0.063). Groups 1 and 2 had smaller distributions than group 3 in the means of tensile strength. The t-test showed that the overall means of the measurements in groups 4–8 did not differ significantly (p-value = 0.315). The tensile tests indicated that printing in vertical and horizontal orientations had no significant influence on mechanical properties. There were no significant differences in mechanical strength between top/bottom printed samples in five different lateral positions. Reliability of printing with good mechanical properties could be a step forward to manufacturing patient-specific implants.

    Die Chemie Pilotanlage der FHNW Muttenz
    (25.04.2023) Zogg, Andreas; Asprion, Jonas
    Der Verein Miniplant 4.0 entwickelt im Process Technology Center an der FHNW neuartige Chemie-Pilotanlagen im Miniplant-Massstab. Der zentrale Scale-Down-Reaktor dient der präzisen Prozessentwicklung im Rührkessel. Insbesondere werden darin die lokalen thermischen Verhältnisse des Produktionsreaktors durch den Einsatz eines speziell designten Wärmetauschers exakt nachgebildet. Damit wird den Studenten und lokalen Unternehmen ein neuartiges Entwicklungswerkzeug zur Verfügung gestellt, welches einen schnelleren und präziseren Scale-Up von Produktionsverfahren direkt aus dem Labormassstab in den Produktionsreaktor erlaubt. Herr Prof. Dr. Andreas Zogg von der FHNW in Muttenz zeigt Ihnen den aktuellen Status der Anlage und die vielseitigen Schulungs- und Forschungsmöglichkeiten. Unterstützt wird er durch Herrn Dr. Jonas Asprion von der Firma Tool-Temp AG, welche die Kommerzialisierung der Temperierlösungen für Reaktormantel und Wärmetauscher anstrebt.
