CONTENTS
Now pulp and paper industries have two major problems
1.Environmental problem
2.Economic problem
Introduction
To reduce deforestationTo protect environmentTo reduce costTo make the process more environment friendly
The wood costs, almost 50% of the production costs for a pulpmill.
The average global conifer wood price reached a new all-time-high of
US$112.53/odmt (oven-dry metric ton) in the 2Q/08.
This was up 11% from 2007 and 26% higher than two years ago.

Introduction
The average non-conifer wood fiber costs were reaching a record-high of US$108.77/odmt in the 2Q,
which was up 16% from a year ago and 23% higher than in 2006.
Some of the largest increases have occurred in Brazil where costs for pulpwood traded in the open market have increased over 300 % in five years in US dollar terms, and more than 200 % as measured in the Brazilian Reais.

Introduction
Environmental regulations in different countries have been set a limit of the amount of effluent (its components) discharges.

Science, there is no superior pulping procedure than kraft process,
We have to improve the process either by process modification like MCC, EMCC,
RDH. or by adding some chemicals to improve yield and
delignification.
Objectives of the study
Process modification requires major capital investment and increase recovery boiler load.
Digester additives are less costly alternatives for decreasing kappa number and improving yield.
Digester modifications and pulping additives do not work antagonistically but are complementary
Introduction

Many researches have done in Europe, North and South America with different additives for their local softwood and hardwood kraft cooking
Very few researches have done in Southeast Asian hardwoods like Eucalyptus.
We wanted compare the effectiveness of different additives with traditional kraft process in local wood.
Objectives of the study
● To find out the effect of additives in kraft pulping of Eucalyptus camaldulensis.
● To find out the effect of solvent in kraft pulping of Eucalyptus camaldulensis.
● To find out the combine and synergistic effect of additives and solvent in kraft pulping of Eucalyptus camaldulensis.
● To find out the yield and quality of pulps from different additives charges
Scope of study
Inhibiting the "peeling reaction"
Oxidizing agent, converts the reducing (reactive) end group of the carbohydrates to an alkali-stable aldonic acid.
reducing agent, converts the carbonyl group in the reducing end units of carbohydrate chains to hydroxyl groups.
Literature review
The phenyl propane units of lignin are joined through carbon-carbon and carbon-oxygen bonds in a random sequence.
During pulping, most of the carbon-carbon linkages are stable, while carbon-oxygen bonds are cleaved to varying extents.

Major results are found
High pulp yield in cooking Both high and low cooking kappa number Higher strength pulp than reference pulp
CONCLUSIONS
AQ reduced the kappa 14.6 %.
Urea increases both yield and Kappa. Yield and Kappa increased 9.5 % and 83.4 % respectively.
Tensile index of this pulp was about 47 % higher than reference pulp.
Conclusions
Combined effect of additive and surfactant does not change the result significantly.
Synergetic effect of AQ and urea gives 9.4 % higher
yield and 8 % higher Kappa than the reference cooking.
Conclusions
AQ reduced the kappa 14.6 %.
Urea increased yield 9.5 % and kappa 83.4 %
Urea increased tensile index near about 50 %
AQ + Urea increased yield 9.4 % and kappa 8 %
Positive outcome from thesis
The future research should be extended to
1. Different alkali charges
2. Lower sulphidity
3. H- factors
4. Liquor ratios
5. Bleaching
6. New practical applications
7. Tests run in industrial scale
