摘要:
A process for bleaching high bulk cellulosic fiber and producing a durable elevated curl index includes: (a) concurrently bleaching, heat treating and convolving cellulosic fiber pulp at elevated temperature and pressure at high consistency generally under conditions selected so as to preclude substantial fibrillation and attendant paper strength and fiber bonding development; and (b) recovering the pulp wherein the length weighted curl index of the treated fiber is at least about 20% higher than the length weighted curl index of the fiber prior to the heat treatment and convolving thereof. Preferably, the curl imparted to the fiber persists upon treatment for 30 minutes in a laboratory disintegrator at 3000 rpm at 1% consistency at a temperature of 125°F. Moreover, the curl may be imparted to the fiber in a disk refiner at very short residence times, on the order of several seconds or less. In general, the process is carried out in the presence of saturated steam at a pressure of from about 5 to about 150 psig.

Iminodisuccinic acid alkaline salts can be prepared by reacting maleic acid anhydride (MAA), alkali metal hydroxide (MeOH), NH3 and water in a molar ratio of MAA : MeOH : NH3 : H2O = 2 : 0.1 - 4 : 1.1 - 6.5 : 5 - 30 at 70 - 170 °C and 1 - 80 bar for 0.1 - 100 hours. The reaction mixture is mixed with additional H2O and optionally MeOH and is freed distillatively of NH3 at 50-170 °C and 0.1-50 bar and then set at a solids content of 5 - 60 weight % using H2O. The iminodisuccinic acid alkaline salts can be used to increase the brightness and brilliance of plant fibres in paper manufacture.
摘要:
A method for brightening virgin mechanical pulp. The method comprises combining: (i) an aqueous solution comprising sodium borohydride and sodium hydroxide; and (ii) an aqueous solution comprising sodium bisulfite, in a chemical mixer and adding output of the chemical mixer to an aqueous slurry of virgin mechanical pulp. The ratio of (moles bisulfite - moles hydroxide)/moles borohydride is from 0 to 7.8.
摘要:
Recycled paper pulp is deinked by treating it at neutral or alkaline pH with an aqueous deinking composition comprising sodium hydrosulfite Na 2 S 2 O 4 as a reducing agent. The deinking composition is preferably an alkaline solution containing sodium hydroxide. The pulp is preferably treated at a consistency from 2 to 15%, and the treatment works particularly well with pulp at a relatively low consistency such as 4%. The hydrosulfite can be generated by a reaction of sodium bisulfite and sodium borohydride in aqueous alkaline solution.

Recycled paper pulp is de-inked by treating it at neutral or alkaline pH with an aqueous deinking composition comprising one or more reducing agents. The preferred reducing agents are sodium bisulfite and sodium borohydride. Sodium hydroxide is preferably used to give the desired pH.
