Esteves et.al. 2020 visade att syrgasdelignifiering ökar den totala fiberladdningen men leder inte alltid till ökad pappersstyrka. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur fiberladdning påverkar massans egenskaper.  För att testa hypotesen att ökningen av dragstyrkan beror på den större mängd sekundärt finmaterial som orsakas av malningen, testades vissa egenskaper hos massan, såsom vattenabsorption, med och utan malning avmassan. Två kraftmassor med olika initialt kappatal, 91 respektive 52, syrgasdelignifierades med olika alkalilsats under varierad tid. De massor som hade den lägsta och högsta mängden totala fiberladdningar maldes med PFI-kvarn. Water Retention Value (WRV), Schopper-Riegler (SR), Fiber Saturation Point (FSP) och finmaterial analyserades. WRV testades också efter att finmaterialet avlägsnats från massan.  Resultaten tyder på att massan med en större ökning av den totala fiberladdningen jämfört med den kraftkokta massan vid ett givet kappantal kan resultera i en högre ökning av FSP och WRV. Massor med större ökning av den totala fiberladdningen bildade mer finmaterial vid malning, vilket resulterar i en högre ökning av SR. / According to a previous study from Esteves et. al. 2020, it was found that oxygen delignification can increase the total fiber charge but does not always increase the paper strength. This study aims to investigate how fiber charge has an impact on pulp properties.  To test the hypothesis that the increase in mechanical strength for the fiber is due to the bigger increase of secondary fines caused by the refining process, some properties of the pulp such as water holding capacity were tested with different treatments: refining and no refining. Two kraft cooked pulp with different initial kappa numbers of 91 and 52 were subjected to oxygen delignification with different alkali charges and reaction times. When the characterization tests such as, kappa number and total fiber charge measurement have been determined, the samples which had the lowest and the highest total fiber charge were PFI refined and other analysis such as, water retention value (WRV), Schopper-Riegler degree (SR), fiber saturation point (FSP), and fine content, were done. WRV was also tested without fines.  The results suggest that the pulp with a higher increase in total fiber charge when compared to the kraft cooked pulp at a given kappa number can result in a higher increase in FSP and WRV. A higher increase in total fiber charge can also have a high tendency to create fines, due to the higher swelling ability, resulting in a higher increase in SR.
