For example, the technology for production of nanocellulose from sugar production waste – namely, from desugared sugar beet pulp. Raw materials are annually renewable, abundant in the central regions of Russia and are little demanded because of low nutritional value. Seasonal nature of sugar production is not a deterrent because the beet pulp pellets, produced at the sugar mills, is suitable for year-round storage. Unlike timber, sugar beet pulp contains almost no lignin – a binding substance, which is difficult to separate from cellulose fibers. Binder in the sugar beet is pectin, which is easier to remove from the cellulose fibers, and is itself a valuable food product. The developed technologies do not use concentrated mineral acids, expensive enzymes, sulfur and chlorine used in the manufacture of wood nanocellulose that provides high chemical purity of obtained nanocellulose. Associated derivation of high-quality pectin ensures the profitability of production in general. Development of the technology was conducted in an integrated manner with a comprehensive, collaborative problem solving to get nanocellulose and pectin, recycling waste and providing closed-cycle water consumption. The production is designed to meet the increasing health requirements to ensure microbiological purity of the products.
Applications of nanocellulose:
– production of healthy food;
– raw materials for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics;
– manufacture of paper, cardboard, laminates;
– production of modified hardwood;
– production of coated seeds;
– biodegradable composite materials;
– sensors, “smart” packaging;
– basis for catalysts;
– latex, polymer, paints, varnishes, primers, adhesives;
– aerogels, membranes, sorbents, foam.

3.5.1. Technology for producing the vitamin meal
Objectives: to conduct experimental studies on the preparation and determination of properties of vitamin meal.
Materials and reagents: tree verdure of various species.
Equipment:
testing sieve;
91
scales with an accuracy of 0.1;
wood meal producing unit.
Procedure.
Prepare vitamin meal in laboratory. Unit diagram for the production of vitamin meal is shown in fig. 3.4.
Fig. 3.4. Unit diagram for the production of vitamin meal:
1 –separator of tree verdure, 2 – crusher-shredder, 3 – bunker, 4 – back chamber
of the dryer, 5 – drum of the dryer, 6 – front chamber of the dryer, 7 – fan,
8 – issuing hatch, 9 – cyclone-bunker, 10 – batcher, 11 – crusher-grinder for the
milling of dry pine needles into the flour; A – softwood bough, B – fuel;
C – finished product; D – flue gas withdrawal
The production technology is the chopping of tree verdure separated from the branches on the crusher, high-speed drying in a tumble dryer and grinding of the dried mass. Feeding of the chopped verdure from the crusher into a bunker of raw verdure and finished flour into a cylone-bunker is made in pneumatic conveyor by air flow as well as feeding of the softwood bough from the bunker to the dryer drum and unloading of the dried verdure from the dryer is made by the screw. From the cyclone­bunker flour is discharged through the batcher. The temperature of the heat carrier in the dryer is 250–300 0C (400 0C), drying time is about 10 s, the final moisture content is about 10 %. The drum must be fully filled with the dryable mass, the mass particles during their stay in the drum should not be
92
heated above 60–70 0C and the temperature of the worked-out heat carrier should be between 75–80 0C. Such drying conditions allow preservation carotene in the needles as much as possible
Determine the properties of vitamin flour according to standards: GOST 13797-84 «Vitamin meal of tree verdure. Specifications», GOST
13496.8-72 «Mixed feeds. Methods for determination of crushed particle size and uncrushed seed content of cultured and wild plants».
Colour test. Carried out visually.
Determination of crushed particle size
A specimen of mixed feed of 100 g is sifted through the sieve set composed in order to reduce the size of the holes from top to bottom. Sifting is made on sifter-analyzer for 5 min on two or three sieves of set depending on the requirements of the standard for this type of mixed feed. It is acceptable to sift by hand in 110–120 movements per minute with amplitude of sieve vibration of about 10 cm for 3 min. Nubbles formed during sieving are kneaded at a slight movement in the sieve and finish sifted for 2 min. At the end of sifting residue on each sieve is weighed separately. An allowable rate of loss during sieving should not exceed 1 %.
The final experimental result is the average of the results of two parallel determinations. Permissible differences between the results of parallel determinations should not exceed 0.1 % and between the results obtained in different laboratories should not be above 0.2 %.
3.5.2. Technology of using wood meal in filtering units
Theoretical information. Types of filters using wood meal:
bulk;
drum vacuum;
precoat.
Bulk-type filter is a vertical unit with welded elliptical bottom and lid. For an altitude of 70–75 % the filter is filled by supporting and filtering materials. The lower slot manifold, as a rule, is closed by supporting layer (a layer of washed gravel with a size of 2–5 mm). Next, there is a layer of filtering material whose properties depend on the purpose of the filter.
Drum vacuum filter with outer filtering surface (fig. 3.5). The peculiarity of the filter is that a layer of auxiliary filtering material is coated on the working surface before filtration process. This is so called precoat
93
layer (usually diatomaceous earth or wood meal). Depending on the filtered product and the quality of auxiliary filtering material thickness of the precoat sediment layer is 25 to 75 mm. The precoat layer is applied as follows. Suspension of material which forms precoat layer is filtered through a vacuum filter batchwise, alternating with drying of the formed layer. This method of applying allows the layer of wood meal to be dense and not to be compressed in further work. The time of applying filtering layer is from 0.5 to 2 hours.
Fig. 3.5. Drum vacuum filter
The filtering process in precoat filters (fig.3.6) is carried out through a macroporous precoat layer formed by filtering material specially introduced at the beginning of filtration cycle (diatomaceous earth, cellulose, bentonite, active carbon, wood meal, etc.) with a particle size of 50–70 μm at the surface of solid porous support with a pore size of 100 150 μm. The particle size of precoat filtering material is less than pore size of filtering support, but these particles are held on its surface as they deposited on domes formed between the primary wedged particles and larger aggregates of precoat material. The structural precoat layer consists of a large number of small-sized channels which provides obtaining a high­quality filtrate.

Fig. 3.6. The filtering process
Objectives: to conduct experimental studies and determine
parameters of water filtration using wood meal.
Materials and reagents:
wood meal of various grades and species.
Equipment:
testing sieve;
filter unit;
photoelectric colorimeter type CFC;
scales with an accuracy of 0.1.
Procedure.
Сarry out the experiments on the filtration using wood meal of various grades. The scheme of the filter unit is shown in fig. 3.7.
Before the start it is necessary to fill the tank with feed water 1 by opening valve 29, the primary suspension tank 4 by opening valve 27, the additional suspension tank 5 opening valve 24.
To prepare the initial suspension add adjuvant filtering material in the filled tank with primary suspension 4, then turning the compressor 6 on,
95
open valve 26 to supply compressed air for mixing of the solution. To prepare the additional suspension add a portion of the powder additives to the tank of additional suspension, and then turning the compressor 6 on, open valve 23 also for supplying compressed air for mixing of the solution. Opening the valve 1, fill the pre-filter with feed water and flood the pumps.
Fig. 3.7. The diagram of unit with the pre-coat filter:
1 – feed water tank; 2 – pre-filter; 3 – pre-coat cartridge filter;
4 – container for preparation primary suspension; 5 – container for additional
suspension preparation; 6 – compressor; 7 – receiver; 8 – circulating pump;
9 – metering pump.
Pipelines: B1 – utility and drinking water supply; B4 – supply of water for
cleaning; B5 – return of water in the bowl of feed water;
B11 – adding a suspension; K1 – domestic sewage; A – compressed air
To run the pumps for the filtering layer aggradation close valve 16, open valves 13, 14, 15 and the valve of suspension return in the tank of primary suspension 17. Turn the pumps on and keep up the pressure of 0.6 Mpa. The layer aggradation lasts 15–20 min and monitored visually, that is clarification of water in the primary suspension tank. Close valves 17, 20 and open valves 5, 16. The water level in prefilter should be regulated by a gate valve 1. During filtration, the additional suspension entry is necessary to increase the filter-cycle value, for that open valves 30, 31 and turn a metering pump on. For aggradation of primary filtering layer prepare a
96
suspension with the use of water and powdered filtering material (wood

meal). Aggradation continues till full clarification of water returned from the filter into the tank of the primary suspension preparation. The initial flow of powder for creation of filtering layer with thickness of 1–2 mm was 400–600 g per 1 m2 of filtering surface. The duration of aggradation is 15– 25 min, depending on the powder type and suspension concentration. Then water begins the flow for filtration process. At the same time the additional suspension of the powder prepared in a different tank is added to water in small portions. That reduces the growth rate of hydraulic resistance of the filtering layer and increases the duration of filtration cycle. To increase the filter-cycle duration the filtering powder in an amount of 3–10 g/m3 is continuously dosed in the purified water.
To determine the following values during the experiments: filtering rate on the pre-coat filters, pressure drop across the filtering layer and quality of the feed water and filtrate. The filtrate quality is determined by the photometric method with the use of photoelectric colorimeter type CFC. During the experiments at regular time intervals water (feed and filtered) is sampled and the turbidity of each sample is determined. The experiment becomes complete with deterioration in the quality of filtrate.
Present the results of the research in the form of the table:
