摘要:
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zum Ausfällen von negativ geladenen Lignin-Derivaten, wie Ligninsulfon säure und Chlorligninen aus Sulfitablaugen mittels nicht im Überschuß zugesetzten Polyiminen, wobei der pH-Wert und die Temperatur annähernd konstant gehalten werden und die Fällungsrate anhand der UV-Absorption des Überstandes des Niederschlags ermittelt wird, wobei die Einstellung des pH-Wertes und der Zusatz an Fällungsmittel durch einen Pro zeßrechner gesteuert und die UV-Absorption in einem mit dem Fällungsreaktor verbundenen Nebenkreislauf nach Abtrennung des Niederschlages gemessen und der ermittelte Meßwert in den Rechner eingegeben wird. Weiterhin bezieht sich die Erfindung auf eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens, wobei der Reaktor mit einem pH-Meter und mit einem Nebenkreislauf verbunden ist, der in Strömungsrichtung hintereinander eine Vorrichtung (Zentri fuge) zum Trennen des Niederschlags von dem zu messenden Überstand und einen UV-Absorptionsmesser aufweist und wobei beide Meßgeräte mit einem Rechner gekoppelt sind, der seiner seits mit Ansperrorganen für die pH-Reagenzien und das Fällungsmittel sowie in der Verbindungsleitung zwischen dem Reaktor und einem Absetzgefäß gekoppelt ist.
摘要:
A process for digesting lignocellulosic material. Lignocellulosic material is introduced into a digestive zone along with a liquid composed of an ester with an organic lignin solvent capable of dissolving lignin, and water. The lignocellulosic material is digested at a temperature of 0°C to 230°C for a period of time sufficient to solubilize the lignin in the ester and the solvent. The process of the invention reduces the amount of water in the digestive zone to inhibit the hydrolysis of the cellulose, accelerate the delignification and provide a more economical chemical recovery system.
摘要:
An improved lime slaker in which the lime is combined with the slaking liquor in a vertical conduit (18) which extends below the level of the liquor in the slaker vessel (10). The slaking liquor is introduced into the conduit at a high velocity tangential (26) to the interior surface of the conduit to flush the lime into the vessel. The slaker includes a vertical vent pipe (28) that extends through the bottom (14) of the vessel. In a preferred embodiment, the inlet of the vent pipe is surrounded by an entrainment separator (32). Removable covers (24, 36) permit convenient access for inspection and cleaning of the conduit and the vent pipe.
摘要:
A process and apparatus for measuring carbonate and sulfide concentrations in white and green pulp mill liquor and in the slaker/causticizing cells and controlling the causticizing reaction and other stages using this information. Specifically the causticizing control logic is based on determining the concentration of sodium carbonate and sodium sulfide in the green liquor, in the white liquor-mud slurry at the slaker (S) or first causticizer (C1) and in the white liquor being sent to the digester house and using this information to control the entire process. The apparatus takes a sample from an appropriate line, filters the sample if necessary, takes a measured quantity, reacts that measured quantity with an acid to generate hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide and measures the quantities of these gases in a gas chromatograph (GC). The apparatus has four main circuits: the filter circuit, the sampling circuit, the reactor circuit and the gas chromatograph circuit. A mud separation circuit is also utilized if the apparatus is to analyze liquor from the slaker or causticizing cells.
摘要:
A process and apparatus for measuring carbonate and sulfide concentrations in white and green pulping liquor and in the slaker/causticizing (S, C1) cells and controlling the causticizing reaction and other stages using this information. Specifically the causticizing control logic is based on determining the concentration of sodium carbonate and sodium sulfide (GC/A) in the green liquor, in the white liquor-mud slurry at the slaker or first causticizer (ML3) and in the white liquor being sent to the digester house and using this information to control the entire process. Th e concentration and flow rate of the green liquor may be measured and controlled quite easily. The proposed strategy will control the green liquor flow rate (V41) to the slaker to maintain the desired Na2CO3 concentration in the slaker/causticizer liquor despite variations which occur in the lime. The green liquor concentration is also controlled in a control loop. Weak wash liquor (L40) is added to the green liquor to maintain the concentration of the Na2CO3 in the green liquor. The slaking/causticizing process is controlled by adjusting the flow rate and concentration of the green liquor. This strategy will control the process based on direct measurements of the critical component in the system, sodium carbonate. The green liquor flow rate will be automatically adjusted by a control loop to maintain the desired Na2CO3 concentration in the white liquor. The last measurement is to determine the concentrations of sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, and sodium sulfide in the white liquor which is sent to the digester house to be used in the cooking process. It is important to measure the sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide concentrations in the white liquor (RS3, GC/A) so that the amount of liquor to be charged in the digester(s) may be correctly determined. Changes in sodium sulfide concentration (generated at the recovery boiler) can affect white liquor (AA/EA) concentration.
摘要:
Processes disclosed are capable of converting biomass into high-crystallinity nanocellulose with surprisingly low mechanical energy input. In some variations, the process includes fractionating biomass with an acid (such as sulfur dioxide), a solvent (such as ethanol), and water, to generate cellulose-rich solids and a liquid containing hemicellulose and lignin; and mechanically treating the cellulose-rich solids to form nanofibrils and/or nanocrystals. The total mechanical energy may be less than 500 kilowatt-hours per ton. The crystallinity of the nanocellulose material may be 80% or higher, translating into good reinforcing properties for composites. The nanocellulose material may include nanofibrillated cellulose, nanocrystalline cellulose, or both. In some embodiments, the nanocellulose material is hydrophobic via deposition of some lignin onto the cellulose surface. Optionally, sugars derived from amorphous cellulose and hemicellulose may be separately fermented, such as to monomers for various polymers. These polymers may be combined with the nanocellulose to form completely renewable composites.
