Middle-ultraviolet laser cleaning of particulates from sized ground wood cellulose and pure cellulose paper

Ground wood cellulose paper exhibits a practicable cleaning laser fluence window during middle-UV radiation processing. In this case, a minimum dose volume density should be applied. However, cleaning of bleached cellulose paper is accompanied by strong yellowing and destruction. The presence of charcoal graphite particulates shows substantial influence on the yellowing with increasing coverage. (C) 2013 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
