摘要:
The method is for separation of lignin from original black liquor (BLIN) that has a first precipitation stage (PR) for precipitation of lignin by a first acidification using acidifier AC1, preferably using CO2, at alkaline conditions, then separating a lignin cake with subsequent suspension of the lignin cake in a strong acid in order to leach our metals from the lignin followed by dewatering and obtaining a clean lignin product LP. The process further is improved by intensified hydrolysis of lignin cake such that most of the carbohydrates are broken down to dissolvable monomers that could be separated from the lignin in the filtrate from a filtering stage subsequent to the hydrolysis. The improved hydrolysis could reduce as much as 90% of the carbohydrate content using a moderately increased temperature and increased charge of acidifier while avoiding any larger lignin yield losses.
摘要:
The method is for separation of lignin from original black liquor (BLIN) that has a first precipitation phase (PR1/PR2) for precipitation of lignin by a first acidification using acidifier, CO2, at alkaline conditions, then separating a lignin cake with subsequent suspension of the lignin cake in a strong acid in order to leach out metals from the lignin followed by dewatering and obtaining a clean lignin product LP. Lignin germ particles (LG) are added to the original black liquor in the first precipitation stage, preferably between two phases in said precipitation stage, in order to increase lignin particle growth on such lignin germ particles instead of spontaneous nucleation of lignin particles in said original black liquor. This results in improved filterability in subsequent dewatering and lignin cake formation and hence an increased lignin yield.

The invention relates to a method and equipment for treatment of black liquor at a pulp mill in order to recover chemicals and energy contained therein. In the invention, the black liquor is pyrolyzed in a pyrolysis reactor (4), the formed gaseous components are forwarded for utilization and the solids are mixed with water, whereby the formed solids are returned to a lime burning kiln (1) and the sodium-hydroxide-containing liquid is returned to the pulp cooking process.
摘要:
A method for pulp processing used in connection with a pre-hydrolysis kraft process (PHKP) includes adding wood chips or similar material to a reaction vessel, performing pre-hydrolysis, and neutralizing the mixture with a first quantity of white liquor followed by a different solution such as a cold caustic extraction alkaline filtrate optionally enriched with white liquor. The neutralization fluids are replaced with a cooking fluid comprising a hot black liquor and alkaline filtrate, optionally enriched with white liquor. The cooking fluid may have a relatively high effective alkali concentration. The cooked pulp may exhibit very low residual hemicelluloses and a kappa number within an optimal range.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of treating lime mud slurry being generated in a causticizing process in a pulp mill in a disc filter, in which method the lime mud is fed in the filter, thickened on the filter discs and removed from the filter discs. The lime mud is treated in at least two stages in one and the same disc filter in such a way that the lime mud slurry entering the filter is fed onto only a part of the filter discs, on which lime mud is thickened and removed from the discs, and the removed lime mud is re-slurried in liquid, and the lime mud slurry thus obtained is fed onto a second part of the filter discs, on which lime mud is thickened and removed from the filter and led into a subsequent process stage. The invention also relates to an apparatus.

In the process for producing kraft pulp, performing a potassium ion removal step of flowing an aqueous solution containing ashes recovered from a combustion exhaust gas generated in a black solution combustion step by a dust collector through a packed bed filled with a sodium-type cation exchange organic resin to adsorb and remove potassium ions contained in the aqueous solution; and a regeneration step of treating the cation exchange organic resin used in the potassium ion removal step with a solution consisting essentially of aqueous sodium hydroxide to regenerate the cation exchange resin, where a fraction recovered from the potassium ion removal step which is rich in sodium sulfate and sodium carbonate is recycled to the black solution concentrating step, and a sodium hydroxide effluent recovered from the regeneration step is recycled to a bleaching step and used in a bleaching process.
摘要:
The invention relates to a process for recovering alkali and heat from a black liquor (5) containing silicate from a soda cook of e.g. grass, reed, straw and bagasse. In the process the black liquor (5) is treated with a gas (6) containing carbon dioxide to precipitate silica and lignin, the precipitate (9) is separated (2) from the black liquor, which is evaporated (3) and burnt (4) to generate heat and to recover a sodium carbonate melt. In the invention the black liquor (5) containing silicate is neutralised with a surplus of the gas (6) containing carbon dioxide, which preferably contains over 60% by volume of carbon dioxide. The evaporation (3) of black liquor mainly takes place after the precipitate (9) rich in silica has been separated (2). The combustion is performed with pure oxygen gas or oxygen-enriched air (14), after the black liquor has been brought to a temperature near its boiling point by direct contact with the hot exhaust gases from combustion, all these operations under a substantial over-pressure of at least 100 kPa. With this procedure, a sodium carbonate melt is recovered and a gas (17) containing over 60% by volume of carbon dioxide is formed, which is used to neutralise the black liquor (5) containing silicate.
摘要:
Concentrated black liquor formed in a kraft pulp mill process is treated to effect exothermal oxidation of black liquor solids, so as to heat the concentrated black liquor and consume a proportion of the black liquor solids. Such procedure eliminates the need to use steam to preheat black liquor and decreases the overall heating value of the concentrated black liquor, allowing an increased black liquor recovery boiler capacity to be achieved.
摘要:
A method of controlling the pressure of a vertical continuous comminuted cellulosic fibrous material (wood chip) digester is provided using a pressure-control extraction in a zone relatively insensitive to changes in the flow rate of liquid introduction or removal. The method comprises controlling the pressure in the digester primarily (or substantially exclusively) by varying the flow rate of liquor extracted from the pressure-control extraction to maintain the pressure in the digester at a desired superatmospheric level while avoiding non-uniform, unstable material movement in the counter-current washing zone; and introducing dilution liquid into the digester at the at least one recirculation-dilution loop. The pressure-control extraction is preferably substantially the upper extraction in the digester. Substantially except during excessive over pressure and under pressure conditions the extraction flow from the main extraction is maintained substantially constant. Substantially only during excessive over pressure and under pressure conditions pressure control may also be practiced by controlling the rate of dilution into the at least one recirculation-dilution loop, and the extraction from the main extraction.
