摘要:
The present invention relates to a Kraft pulp bleaching stage which is to be carried out after conventional bleaching stages to high brightness. It has been discovered that ambient-temperature blaching with inorganic peroxyacid salts, such as peroxymonosulfates, at this point can provide substantial increases in pulp brightness without significant decreases in pulp viscosity. Peroxyacid bleaching according to the present invention is carried out at ambient temperature and no greater than about 40 °C and at an initial pH that is slightly alkaline and preferably about 7.25.
摘要:
Unbleached pulp (8) is combined with an aqueous alkaline solution (10) while in a state of low consistency to distribute a first amount of alkaline material substantially uniformly throughout the pulp. The consistency of the pulp is then increased to above about 20 % (12). Additional alkali (18) is applied onto the high consistency pulp (17) to provide a total amount of between 0.8 and 7 % by weight of oven dry pulp. The high consistency alkali containing pulp is then treated with oxygen (21) to effect delignification (20). High strength, low lignin pulps are formed which may be further bleached (25) to high brightness with reduced amounts of chemicals by following the methods of the invention.
摘要:
Une pâte écrue (8) est mélangée avec une solution alcaline (10) alors qu'elle présente une consistance faible afin qu'une première quantité de substance alcaline soit uniformément distribuée à travers toute la pâte. La consistance de la pâte est alors augmentée jusqu'à plus de 20 % en poids environ (12). On applique une substance alcaline additionnelle (18) à la pâte à consistance élevée(17) pour obtenir une teneur totale en alcali comprise entre 0,8 et 7 % en poids basé sur le poids à sec à l'étuvé de la pâte. La pâte à consistance élevée et contenant des alcalis est alors traitée à l'oxygène (21) pour effectuer la délignification (20). On obtient des pâtes à résistance élevée et à faible teneur en lignine, qui peuvent être davantage blanchies (25) jusqu'à atteindre une blancheur élevée en utilisant des quantités réduites de produits chimiques et selon les procédés de l'invention.
摘要:
A process for delignifying and bleaching a lignocellulosic pulp without the use of elemental chlorine by partially delignifying the pulp to a K No. of about 10 or less and a viscosity of greater than about 13 cps; and further delignifying the partially delignified pulp with an effective amount of ozone for a sufficient time to obtain a substantially delignified pulp having a K No. of about 5 or less, a viscosity of greater than about 10, and a GE brightness of at least about 50 %. The substantially delignified pulp may be brightened by the addition of a bleaching agent such as chlorine dioxide or a peroxide to obtain a final product having a GE brightness of at least about 65 %, preferably above 70 % to as high as 90 %. Because of the absence of elemental chlorine in this sequence, filtrate from all stages but the chlorine dioxide stage (if used) can be recovered without sewering. Major environmental improvements are thus achieved.
摘要:
Unbleached pulp is combined with an aqueous alkaline solution while in a state of low consistency (9) to distribute a first amount of alkaline material substantially uniformly throughout the pulp. The consistency of the pulp is then increased (12) to above about 18%, and the high consistency alkali containing pulp is then treated with oxygen (21) to effect delignification (20). Additional alkali may be applied onto the high consistency pulp prior to oxygen delignification to provide a total amount of between 0.8 and 7% by weight of oven dry pulp. The invention contemplates the use of one or more wash presses (7,30) for reducing the overall amounts of alkaline material utilized in the process. High strength, low lignin pulps (25) are subsequently formed which may be further bleached to high brightness with reduced amounts of chemicals by following the methods of the invention.
摘要:
A two stage ozone-pulp bleaching method and apparatus are disclosed. In the first stage, high consistency pulp particles are turbulently mixed and contacted with a gaseous mixture containing ozone to mix and contact substantially all of the pulp particles with ozone to react at least a portion of the pulp particles with the ozone. Pulp particles and gaseous bleaching mixture are then directed to a second stage including a quiescent pulp bed. Pulp particles may complete their reaction in the bed, which also serves to strip ozone which was not contacted with pulp particles in the first stage from the gaseous bleaching mixture.
