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:
Washed wood pulp from a continuous digester is treated with oxygen in the blow line from the digester. Most of the treatment occurs within the mixer. 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 ton of oven-dry pulp and an optimum range is around 65,400 square meters per metric ton of oven-dry pulp. Following mixing, the pulp may be taken to a subsequent process, a diffusion washer, or to a storage tank.

Some sequences are O-X-O and O-O-X-O in which X may be chlorine, chlorine dioxide, a combination of chlorine and chlorine dioxide - mixture of chlorine and chlorine dioxide, C.sub.D, D.sub.c -, hypochlorite, peroxide and ozone. The sequence may be followed by a D stage.Other systems and specific mixer designs are also disclosed.

Process and apparatus for mixing a wood pulp slurry with a chemical at the consistency at which the slurry exits a washer or the subsequent steam mixer, 7 to 15%. The chemicals would include noncondensable or unsaturated gases such as oxygen, ozone, air, chlorine, chlorine dioxide, sulfur dioxide, ammonia, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen chloride, nitric oxide or nitrogen peroxide. Highly superheated steam can also be mixed with the pulp.In the process, the pulp slurry would pass through a mixing zone having a swept area in the range of 10,000 to 1,000,000 square meters per metric ton of oven-dry pulp. The preferred range is 25,000 to 150,000 square meters per metric ton of oven-dry pulp and the optimum is considered to be around 65,400 square meters per metric ton of oven-dry pulp.The pulp slurry passes through an annular mixing zone. Specific designs of the various elements of the mixer are disclosed.

摘要:
In a two-stage cellulosic pulping and bleaching system having first-stage pulping using standard pulping chemicals and second-stage bleaching using an alkaline oxygen system, the addition of a protector occurs only in the first stage pulping instead of between the first and second stages or in the second stage bleach. A magnesium compound is normally used as the protector.

A wood pulp slurry is treated with oxygen in a mill with little change to the process or structure of the mill. No special pressure tanks are rquired. 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.An existing extraction stage within the system may be used as a source of alkali. In an existing extraction stage, the mixer and upstream oxygen line would be placed in the line between the steam mixer and the extraction tower.The mixing occurs in a relatively small mixer that intensively mixes the slurry and the 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:
A slurry of cellulosic fiber and water having a consistency in the range of 0.017-4.9% of the total ungassed weight of fiber and water is bleached with ozone. This is done without the usual addition of organic additives. The water can include impurities created by the bleaching process. Rapid reaction times under 8 minutes and preferably under 5 minutes are achieved.The reaction is enhanced in the consistency range of about 0.017-0.7%.The slurry is mixed using a mixing energy of 0.002-1.0 horsepower per cubic foot of gassed slurry. The mixing energy will determine whether the gas-liquid or liquid-solid interface will limit the speed of the reactions. The passage of ozone from the gas to a liquid phase will be the limiting factor below about 0.2 horsepower per cubic foot of gassed slurry. The increasing presence of ozone in the liquid as the horsepower increases from about 0.2 to about 0.4 horsepower per cubic foot of gassed slurry indicates this is a zone in which both the gas-liquid and the liquid-solid interface are limiting factors. Above about 0.4 horsepower per cubic foot of gassed slurry the liquid-solid interface will be the limiting factor.Superficial velocity of the ozone bearing gas is in a range of 200-3800 feet per hour. The ozone usually is 0.05-6% by weight of the total weight of the gas.
