A method and an apparatus for detecting plugged sites and holes and for measuring of the water permeability properties of pervious machine fabrics is disclosed. Plugged sites in a permeable fabric are detected by sensing water pressure pulses occurring in the nozzle at the moment when a stream of water flowing through the nozzle contacts a plugged site on a fast running fabric. The apparatus can be used on-line to simultaneously detect plugged sites and holes on a moving pervious fabric while monitoring its water permeability properties.

A method for bleaching cellulosic and lignocellulosic pulp using hydrogen peroxide as a bleaching reagent, utilizes a three stage reaction, viz. two short high temperature peroxide bleaching steps (50,160) at a pressure sufficient to suppress boiling and an interstage treatment (90) including a longer atmospheric pressure reduced temperature bleaching step. The two short peroxide bleaching stages include the steps of introducing pulp, at a consistency of 10%-18%, to a mixer (20,130) in which the pulp is heated to a temperature above 100 degree Celsius; adding sufficient sodium hydroxide (32,142) to bring the pulp to a pH of 8.5; adding sufficient hydrogen peroxide (33,143) to equal from about 0.5%-5.0%, by weight, of the pulp; passing the pulp through a pressurized reactor column (50,160) at a rate providing a reaction time in the column of less than 45 minutes, cooling the pulp and discharging the cooled pulp to a washer. It may be desirable to introduce the pulp to a mixer and add alkali to reactivate residual hydrogen peroxide by bringing the pulp to a pH of at least 9 after the first bleaching stage, deposit the pulp in a reaction tower and allowing the reaction to proceed until a substantial portion of the residual hydrogen has been consumed.

A direct monitoring and control method is provided for on-line measurement of effective alkali, carbonate, sulfate and thiosulfate concentrations in process liquors for the production of kraft pulp. The control method eliminates frequent sampling, and the need for frequent equipment maintenance. The method includes the steps of withdrawing samples of a liquor from the kraft manufacturing process, subjecting the samples to infrared spectrophotometry at predetermined wave numbers to produce peak-absorbance measurements relative to a background spectrum of water, determining peak absorbance for different alkali concentrations, correlating relationships between the peak-absorbance measurements of samples with the peak absorbance for different alkali concentrations to determine optimum effective alkali in the samples, and controlling at least one process parameter to obtain effective alkali of the liquor.

L'invention concerne un procédé et une machine de séchage de bande fibreuse, adaptés notamment à des machines à vitesse rapide produisant des papiers d'impression. On obtient des vitesses de séchages élevées par compression ultérieure des deux surfaces de la bande humide (5) sur des cylindres sécheurs (1, 2) de grand diamètre chauffés entre 100 et 150 °C. Dans le premier pincement, la bande (5) est pressée sur un cylindre sécheur (1) par un rouleau de presse feutré (3) tandis qu'un rouleau lisse non feutré (4) presse ladite bande (5) sur le second sécheur (2). L'invention, lorsqu'on la met en oeuvre, permet d'obtenir des vitesses de séchage sensiblement supérieures à celles de trains de séchage classiques. Le produit obtenu selon l'invention est 30 % plus résistant que le papier non calandré séché de manière classique, et sans calandrage présente un lissé et un satiné similaires à ceux de papiers classiques calandrés.

A method is provided for treating pulp fibres, that have already been curled which method comprises: subjecting the pulp to a heat treatment while the pulp is at a high consistency, thereby to render the curl permanent to subsequent mechanical action. This permanent curl has advantages for papermachine runnability and for increasing the toughness of the finished product.

Paper of improved properties is produced from pulp in which filler is selectively and substantially entirely loaded within the fiber lumens by vigorously agitating a suspension of pulp and filler until the lumens become loaded with filler, separating the residual suspended filler from the loaded fibers and vigorously and turbulently washing the pulp (e.g., under conditions of shear, preferably with an aqueous solution of a filler aid, e.g., alum) until substantially all of the filler on the external surfaces of the fibers is removed. This procedure achieves high filler levels within the lumen. Retention on the paper machine is increased by the use of such lumen-loaded fibers. The papers have an enhanced combination of strength and optical properties.
摘要:
A method and system for the detection of plate clashing in disc refiners and provided herein. The signal from either an acoustic or vibration monitor (12) is processed through a filter (14) which isolates those frequencies at which a significant increase in signal level is known to occur during a clash or are generated in association with imminent or actual plate clashing. The signal level of the filtered data is compared with a threshold level (19) at which protective action must be taken. Protection can be automatically initiated by the plate clash detection system; alternatively, it can be done manually by an operator, using the detection system as a warning device.
