Absorbent wet laid products are made containing cellulose fibers and cellulose ester staple fibers that are co-refined to obtain products and articles that have improved water absorbency and tensile strength or burst strength or both. The absorbent wet laid products can now be made with a synthetic fiber in the wet laid operation since cellulose ester can be subjected to a refining operation.

A water-dispersible composite structure, which comprises one or more layers, and a method of producing the same. At least a part of the layers is formed by a fibrous web or sheet containing 50-90 parts by weight of wood fibers and 10-90 parts by weight of annual or perennial plant fibers and/or 10-50 parts by weight of synthetic short-cut fibers, and 0.1-20% by weight of a binder, calculated from the weight of the fibers, and at least a part of the binder being a water-soluble polymer and another part a water dispersible binder, and the fibrous sheet or web being produced by wet forming. By means of the invention, the fibers of the composite structure can be recovered and recycled by equipment conventionally used in the paper and paperboard industry.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a multilayer film comprising highly refined cellulose fibers, the method comprising the steps of: a) forming a first wet web by applying a first pulp suspension comprising highly refined cellulose fibers on a first wire; b) partially dewatering the first wet web to obtain a first partially dewatered web; c) forming a second wet web by applying a second pulp suspension comprising highly refined cellulose fibers on a second wire; d) partially dewatering the second wet web to obtain a second partially dewatered web; e) joining the first and second partially dewatered web to obtain a multilayer web; and f) further dewatering, and optionally drying, the multilayer web to obtain a multilayer film comprising highly refined cellulose fibers; wherein at least one of said first and second pulp suspension comprises lignin at a concentration in the range of 0.1-50 wt %, based on the total dry weight of the pulp suspension.

The present application relates to a method for preparing dissolving pulp by TCF bleaching of poplar KP, including: preparing poplar KP by pre-hydrolysis kraft process with poplar as a raw material, and OZQP bleaching of the poplar KP to obtain dissolving pulp, wherein O denotes oxygen delignification, Z denotes ozone bleaching, Q denotes chelating treatment, and P denotes hydrogen peroxide bleaching. The dissolving pulp prepared by the same exhibits that all indexes can meet the requirements of excellent products in dissolving pulp industry standard (QB/T4898-2015), and most of the indexes are far superior to those of excellent products, and thus it can completely replace imported dissolving pulp.
