In laboratory work, soy lecithin provided similar increases in burst and other parameters for both virgin and recycle pulps. The underlying mechanisms through which soy flour and lecithin act are different. Protein solubilized from soy flour in the repulper promotes fiber bonding through charge effects. Lecithin coats fiber surfaces and reduces surface roughness as shown by nanoscale imaging. It is proposed that inter-fiber friction is reduced as a consequence, which improves formation.}, number={3}, journal={NORDIC PULP & PAPER RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={Naithani, Ved and Lucia, Lucian A. and Banerjee, Sujit}, year={2016}, pages={407–410} } @article{naithani_lucia_banerjee_2015, title={Indicator paper for detecting microstickies in recycle mill process water}, volume={30}, number={1}, journal={Nordic Pulp & Paper Research Journal}, author={Naithani, V. and Lucia, L.

Soy protein reduces the tack of both microstickies and of adhesive films. For the latter, tack reduction is accompanied by a corresponding decrease of the contact angle of water on the adhesive surface. The contact angle of polyacrylates is reduced much more than that of hot melts. Because the polar component of the surface energy is higher for polyacrylates, soy protein is particularly effective for pressure sensitive adhesives based on these polymers. The soy protein can be mostly extracted from soy flour under typical repulping conditions, which opens the possibility of extracting the soy protein from soy flour in the repulper. The economics of using soy flour for stickies control are attractive because of the low cost of the flour and its stability during storage and handling. The green value of soy is an added bonus.}, number={3}, journal={NORDIC PULP & PAPER RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={Naithani, Ved and Lucia, Lucian A. and Banerjee, Sujit}, year={2015}, pages={541–545} } @article{naithani_jameel_banerjee_hart_lucia_2014, title={Potential contribution of anion exclusion to hydroxide penetration in green liquor-modified kraft pulping}, volume={68}, ISSN={["1437-434X"]}, DOI={10.1515/hf-2013-0208}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={6}, journal={HOLZFORSCHUNG}, author={Naithani, Ved and Jameel, Hasan and Banerjee, Sujit and Hart, Peter W. and Lucia, Lucian A.}, year={2014}, month={Aug}, pages={617–621} } @article{giles_galloway_zackeru_naithani_parrow_2014, title={Two stage fungal biopulping solubilizes lignocellulosic carbohydrates without supplemental enzymatic hydrolysis}, volume={86}, journal={International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation}, author={Giles, R.

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy combined with chemometric methods was employed to analyze oxygen delignification pulp yields, which were compared to gravimetric analysis. Principal component analysis (PCA) of the NIR spectra data was performed and a partial least-square (PLS) regression model was developed to predict the pulp yield of oxygen delignified pulps based on the NIR spectra data. PCA analysis indicated that 99.1% of total variances of NIR spectra data in the range of 1100–2266 nm could be expressed by three principle components. A PLS1 model based on the NIR spectra data had good predictive ability and appeared to be an effective tool for pulp yield prediction for the oxygen delignification process.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF WOOD CHEMISTRY AND TECHNOLOGY}, author={Pu, Yunqiao and Ragauskas, Arthur J. and Lucia, Lucian A. and Naithani, Ved and Jameel, Hasan}, year={2008}, pages={122–136} } @article{lindstrom_naithani_kirkman_jameel_2006, title={A low-temperature, black liquor gasifier model for use in WinGEMS}, volume={5}, number={2}, journal={TAPPI Journal}, author={Lindstrom, M. and Naithani, V. and Kirkman, A. and Jameel, H.}, year={2006}, pages={20–24} } @article{zhang_pu_chai_naithani_jameel_ragauskas_2006, title={Elucidating carboxylic acid profiles for extended oxygen delignification of high-kappa softwood kraft pulps}, volume={60}, ISSN={["1437-434X"]}, DOI={10.1515/HF.2006.020}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={2}, journal={HOLZFORSCHUNG}, author={Zhang, DC and Pu, YQ and Chai, XS and Naithani, V and Jameel, H and Ragauskas, AJ}, year={2006}, month={Mar}, pages={123–129} }
