摘要:
A method of producing bleached microcrystalline cellulose which method comprises neutralizing or alkalizing an acidic microcrystalline production reaction mixture slurry, typically produced by acid hydrolysis or by electronic beam irradiation, followed by adding an oxidant to such reaction mixture. This practice of this method permits the production of microcrystalline cellulose having desirable color stability as well as compression characteristics suitable for pharmaceutical binder use from paper grade and other low purity pulps.

The present invention relates to the removal of hemicelluloses from paper-grade alkaline pulp thereby upgrading the pulp e.g. into dissolving-grade pulp using a combination of enzyme treatment, hot caustic extraction and optionally one or more bleaching steps.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an improved process for producing dissolving pulp from a hydrolysis-kraft cooking process, and wherein production increases may result in less viscosity reduction and thus not meeting the target viscosities in the dissolving pulp produced. In order to compensate for losses in viscosity reduction in the cook at production increases is the oxygen delignification stage boosted with modest charges of peroxide that introduce an additional viscosity reduction.
摘要:
The invention relates to a process for making paper, wherein a pulp suspension, which comprises mechanical pulp, is thickened in a dewatering device and is thereafter diluted with water and pumped to a storage tank, then diluted again and made in to paper. According to the invention, the pulp suspension is subjected to an acid - base treatment after the dewatering device. The pH of the suspension is first reduced with a strong acid by 0.5 -4 pH units to a pH between 4 and 6 and then the pH of the suspension is increased with a weak base by 0.5 -3 units to a pH below 8. The invention also relates to the use of an acid - base treatment in a process for making paper, wherein a pulp suspension, which has been thickened in a dewatering device, is subjected to an acid - base treatment for improving the process and/or the product. The invention provides improvements in the brightness of the pulp suspension and/or reduces the need for bleaching agent. The invention also decreases the dissolution of calcium carbonate filler in the process.

The invention relates to a stabilizing composition comprising following components (A) a polymer having following formula (I) wherein R1 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group containing 1 to 12 carbon atoms, R2 is -COOM or -CH2COOM, M is a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal ion, an alkaline earth metal ion, an ammonium ion or a mixture thereof, n, m and k are molar ratios of corresponding monomers, wherein n is 0 to 0.95, m is 0.05 to 0.9, and k is 0 to 0.8, and (n+m+k) equals1, and the weight average molecular weight is between 500 and 20,000,000 g/mol, (B) a chelating agent, (C) a poly-alpha-hydroxyacrylic acid or an alkaline salt thereof or the corresponding polylactone thereof, and (D) optionally a polycarboxylic acid polymer or an alkaline salt thereof. The invention also relates to a process for the treatment of a fibre material.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for functionalising carbohydrates, that comprises at least one step during which the carbohydrates react with an oxidising agent in the presence of a copper-phenanthroline complex. The invention more particularly relates to a method for functionalising cellulose fibres for the paper industry.
摘要:
This invention provides for a batch and continuous process with countercurrent recycle of bleaching filtrates for the delignification and bleaching of organosolv pulp. Oxygen delignification of organosolv pulp is achieved in excess of from about 50% to about 76% as measured by kappa numbers, while the pulp viscosity is minimally decreased in the range of from about 2 to about 5 cps. Bleaching of delignified pulp is achieved with peroxy compounds and ozone and pulp brightness of from about 82 to 88 ISO can be achieved with pulp containing zero level TOX from chlorine based bleaching chemicals and zero level of AOX in the bleach effluents. Higher brightness of from about 90 to about 92 ISO can also be achieved by addition of very low levels of chlorine based bleaching chemicals. Corresponding bleach effluents contain less than 200 ppm AOX. Bleaching filtrates can be recycled for pulp washing and for use with an organosolv pulping process which results in significant energy savings and mitigation if not elimination of pollution typically associated with chlorine based bleaching. This invention also relates to bleach pulp product derived from the process.
摘要:
The use of a bleach activator compound which is an ester of a carboxylic acid to generate peroxy acids in relatively dilute aqueous acidic environments is described. The product is used in situ as an oxidising agent, for instance for use as a bleach, biocide or disinfectant. Preferred processes use aqueous hydrogen peroxide with preferably at a concentration of less than 20 % w/v the sodium salts of nonanoyloxybenzene sulphonate. The pH is preferably less than 6.5.
