Abstract

In this work, vine shoots were characterized as an alternative type of papermaking raw material, and so were the resulting pulp for paper.
The results for four different vine shoot varieties (viz. Airén, Cencibel, Cavemet Sauvignon and Macabeo) grown using two different
methods (goblets and espaliers) revealed no signi�cant differences in composition among vine varieties or between growing methods.
The holo-cellulose content of vine shoots (67.14 %) is lower than those of other agricultural residues and non-wood raw materials (e.g.
wheat straw, sun�ower stalks, cotton stalks, rice straw, sugarcane bagasse, esparto, �ax and reed), but similar to the of pinewood and
higher to the of trimmings of olive trees. On the other hand, their lignin content (20.27%) is similar to those of eucalyptus and the
non-wood raw materials. Also, their contents in cold-water, hot-water and 1% soda solubles (viz. 12.83%, 16.09% and 39.1%), and those in
ethanes-benzene extractables (4.87%), are intermediate among those for such non-wood materials; all exceed the values for pine and
eucalyptus wood. Soda, kraft, ethanol and ethylene-glycol pulping processes have low yields (29-47%) relative to the pulping processes
applied to trimmings of olive trees and wheat straw. Kraft pulp from vine shoots is that exhibiting the highest α-cellulose content
(73.74%), as well as a higher lignin content (17.18%) than pulp from wheat straw or trimmings of olive trees.

... In this sense, several researches have been carried out to use vine shoots for
materials applications and as a source of highadded value compounds. The main
application for this material has been focused on the preparation of cellulose pulp
( Jiménez et al., 2004 ). The vine shoots have been also studied as a source of
polyphenols (Max et al., 2010 ) and as a source of renewable sugars that were
converted into products such lactic acid, xylitol (Rivas et al., 2007) or ethanol
(Jiménez et al., 2007). ...

between VS belonging to four varieties and two growing systems, being
the average contents: holocellulose (i.e. cellulose + hemicellulose) 67.14%, lignin
20.27%, and ash 3.49% [60] . Since cellulosic materials are the main components
(more than two thirds), it becomes apparent that their thermal decomposition
largely determines the conversion of VS into carbon during the pyrolytic process as
well as the properties of the resulting carbonized products, including their electrical
conductivity. ...

... Moreover, the in�uence of the coupling agents on the �nal mechanical
characteristics of the composites has been widely researched (Bhattacharyya et al.
2003; Kazayawoko et al. 1999; Li and Sain 2003; Nygard et al. 2008; Sain et al.
2005). Speci�cally, the literature researching tree pruning as reinforcement for
composite materials is scarce and is mainly related to the chemical characteristics
of the pulps ( Jimenez et al. 2004a Jimenez et al. ,b, 2008Jimenez et al. , 2009
Requejo et al. 2012), or manufacture and testing of boards (Cuk et al. 2011;
Hermawan et al. 2009; Pirayesh et al. 2011). To the best of our knowledge, there
has been research on the production of pulp using OPF (Gonzalez et al. 2011), but
there is not literature on the use of orange tree pruning �bers (OPF) as
reinforcement in PP composites. ...
