Abstract

The Kraft process is a method used to make paper pulp. This method produces cooking residue that can be recycled again. The recausticizing process produces large amounts of by-products.This research utilizes solid waste from causticizing from the pulp industry as a partial substitute for Portland cement for mortar raw material to obtain a material with good mechanical properties. The solid waste was pulverized, then characterization of Loss on Ignition (LOI), Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP), Titration, and Total Titrable Alkali was carried out. The percentage of solid waste resulting from recausticizing as a substitute for cement is 0-100%, with a water-cement ratio (w/c) of 0.3. The mixed material is then printed into a 50x50x50mm mold followed by drying using the moist curing method. The hardened samples were tested for Density, Porosity, Water Absorption, and Compressive Strength. Mortar with partial cement replacement with 20-100% solid waste recousticizing produces a compressive strength of 1.3-22.6 MPa. The resulting water absorption ranges from 14.59-31.35%.

Abstract

This study aims to map research trends and predict citation dynamics in nanocellulose research within the materials science domain during 2021–2025. A quantitative bibliometric approach was employed using metadata retrieved from the Scopus database, followed by network visualization with VOSviewer and advanced data analysis using Python and machine learning techniques. A total of 2,971 publications were analyzed to identify publication patterns, collaboration networks, thematic evolution, and citation behavior. The results show that China dominates publication output and funding, while key journals and authors form highly interconnected citation networks. Topic modeling reveals emerging research fronts in biomedical hydrogels, nanocomposite films, and sustainable processing. Citation prediction using regression-based machine learning achieved moderate performance (R² = 0.23), indicating potential for early impact estimation. This study concludes that integrating bibliometrics with machine learning provides a comprehensive and predictive perspective on the evolving landscape of nanocellulose research and can support strategic research planning and policy decisions
