摘要:
The invention provides a method for the application of a bleaching agent to a substrate, the method comprising the treatment of the substrate in an aqueous system comprising a liquid bleaching agent in a closed container, the treatment being carried out at a ratio of liquor to substrate which does not exceed 3:1. Typically, the method is applied to the bleaching of textile fibres and may optionally comprise a bleaching and scouring treatment. The invention also provides a method for the removal of surplus bleaching agents following the bleaching treatment, the method comprising not more than three aqueous wash-off treatments of the substrate. In addition to facilitating the use of much reduced liquor levels, the method also allows for significant reductions to be achieved in usage levels of bleaching agents, auxiliary agents and rinsing agents, thereby reducing generation of waste liquors requiring disposal. Furthermore, treatment temperatures are also significantly lower than for prior art methods, providing yet further benefits in environmental and cost terms.

摘要:
Compositions for and methods of stabilizing bleaching and making paper or paperboard having suitable brightness are provided. A stabilizer composition is provided containing aminocarboxylate, hydroxy acid, and either polyamino acid or iminodisuccinate, or both. The stabilizer composition can have low levels or be free of magnesium, phosphates, and silicates. The present invention also relates to a method of stabilizing the bleaching of pulp at an alkaline pH.
摘要:
The method is for bleaching cellulose pulp in a bleach line that has at least two bleaching steps. The filtrate distribution is led up through the bleaching line counter-currently to the flow of cellulose pulp established in the bleaching line. A single joint main conduit is used for the bleaching steps. Wash filtrates obtained from the wash steps, used after or before the bleaching step, are led in conduits to branch locations on the main conduit that are positioned downstream of the branch location for drawing off of wash and/or dilution liquor for the wash step in question. All branch points in the joint main conduit are in fluid communication with one another along the main conduit.

摘要:
A method of controlling micro-organisms during peroxide bleaching of cellulose pulp comprising adding to the pulp an effective micro-organism controlling amount of a) an aqueous biocide solution comprising one or more organic peracids; and b) an aqueous solution comprising one or more chelating agents.
摘要:
A method of bleaching chemical cellulose pulp from an alkaline (e.g. kraft) pulping process in a chlorine dioxide stage includes (without between step washing) bleaching the pulp in a first chlorine dioxide step, and adjusting the pH of the pulp in the first chlorine dioxide step so that the final pH of the step is over 4; and then (b) effecting acid treatment of the chemical cellulose pulp at a pH of between 2-5 (preferably 2.5-4) and a temperature of over 80null C. (preferably between about 90-110null C.). The temperature in the first chlorine dioxide stage is preferably over 75null C., e.g. between about 80-100null C., and for a time of less than ten minutes, with a chlorine dioxide dosage of between about 0.5-1.5% active chlorine. Preferably a second chlorine dioxide step is practiced after the acid treatment, preferably at substantially the same conditions as the first chlorine dioxide step. The method minimizes the consumption of chlorine dioxide to bleach to a particular kappa number, minimizes the amount of equipment, enhances energy economy of the chlorine dioxide bleaching process, and minimizes the discharge of malodorous gases since they are oxidized by the first chlorine dioxide step.

Collection of a post-chlorination washer filtrate and recycle thereof to acidify a wood pulp stream entering the initial chlorine dioxide bleaching stage is provided in order to reduce the formation of barium scale.
摘要:
A method is described for increasing the brightness of reductively bleached high yield pulps, comprising bleaching the pulps with a reductive bleaching solution under anaerobic conditions and maintaining the bleached pulps under anaerobic conditions during all handling steps subsequent to bleaching, including paper formation, wet pressing, and drying of the paper formed therefrom. The bleached paper has higher brightness than the same paper produced under aerobic conditions, and the bleaching and handling-derived portion of this higher brightness is retained after storage of the finished paper.
摘要:
Extraction of chlorine bleached kraft wood pulps with aqueous peracids at pH values of 7 or below, aqueous sulfites at pH values below 10 or with certain non-aqueous solvents provides extracted pulps having lower residual color and permits use of lesser quantities of alkali or chlorine dioxide in subsequent bleach steps to attain brightness and strength levels comparable to those attained with pulps treated by alkaline extraction at pH values of 10 or higher. At a comparable level of alkali and chlorine dioxide or hypochlorite application, extraction of chlorinated pulp with peracids provides bleached pulps with enhanced brightness.
