摘要:
A wood pump slurry is treated with oxygen in a mill with little change to the process or structure of the mill. No special pressure tanks are required. The consistency of the pulp need not be altered for the treatment step. It may be treated at the usual process consistency of the pulp; e.g., it may be treated at the usual consistency of the pulp leaving a washer or subsequent steam mixer without additional dewatering or additional dilution.The oxygen is added into a closed section of the system so that it cannot immediately vent to the atmosphere. Alkali should also be present when the oxygen is mixed with the slurry. The mixing should occur near to the point of oxygen addition.The oxygen is inserted into the pulp slurry and mixed with the pulp slurry between a washer and the subsequent storage tank.The mixing occurs in a relatively small mixter that intensively mixes the slurry and gas. The mixer has a mixing zone with a swept area of 10,000 to 1,000,000 square meters per metric ton of oven-dry pulp. A preferred range is 25,000 to 150,000 square meters per metric ton of oven-dry pulp and an optimum range of around 65,400 square meters per metric ton of oven-dry pulp.Other systems and specific mixer designs are also disclosed.
摘要:
An arrangement and a method for controlling a gas flow separated from a suspension of medium consistency pulp. The pulp is treated in a pulp treatment apparatus including a first pump and a second pump, wherein the second pump is a degassing centrifugal pump provided with a degassing system including a degassing conduit in which a degassing valve is arranged for regulating a pressure difference between an inlet of the second pump and the degassing conduit. The degassing system further includes a pressurized degassing vessel working under overpressure and having an inlet and an outlet, wherein the outlet of the vessel is connected to a pressure control valve for maintaining a desired overpressure in the vessel.
