Abstract:
A bleached pulp having a high viscosity for a given permanganate number is formed by pretreating never dried pulp with an organic solvent medium to produce a treated pulp composed of said never dried pulp in the medium and then bleaching that treated pulp using ozone at a pH of 1.5-5 to provide a bleached pulp while reducing the viscosity loss during the ozone bleaching step significantly compared to that what would occur if the medium used in the ozone bleaching were water.
Abstract:
A catalyst selected from vanadyl organic complexes and vanadyl sulfate is applied to lignocellulosic material together with oxygen to form a treated pulp and the treated pulp is then subjected to a caustic extraction to produce an improved pulp. The process may be applied to a chemical pulp or a mechanical pulp to obtain delignification or lignin modification. In the case of a chemical pulp, delignification improves the brightness of the pulp whereas in the case of a mechanical pulp, fiber conformability significantly improves.
Abstract:
A method of bleaching a chemical pulp by adjusting the pH of the pulp to 1.5-3.5, chelating the pulp and then treating the pulp in an N stage with nitric oxyde (NO) in the amount of at least 1.5 % by weight of the oven dried pulp at a consistency of between 30 and 55 % and further treating the pulp in a Z stage with ozone to produce a bleach pulp having a higher viscosity for a given permanganate number compared with a similar pulp bleached without using the N stage.
Abstract:
A method of bleaching of pulps using peroxide as the primary bleaching agent in an aqueous medium having between 10-50 % ethylene glycol at a consistency of between 8 and 35 % to thereby produce a peroxide bleached pulp.
Abstract:
Cellulosic pulps are bleached with ozone in an ozone bleaching stage in an aqueous medium containing an additive in an effective amount not exceeding 5 % weight concentration of the aqueous medium. The additive is selected from a group consisting of N-alkylated ureas, N-alkylated lactams and N-alkylated amides. pH in the Z stage is operated under conventional ozone bleaching conditions, but preferably at high consistency and at low temperature, below 5 DEG C.
Abstract:
Brown stock is ozone bleached in aqueous medium containing between 3 and 7 % based on the weight of the medium of a protector selected from the group comprising polyhydric alcohols, water soluble ethers of said polyhydric alcohols and mixtures thereof, and the medium, after bleaching, is separated from the bleached pulp and preferably delivered to the pulp mill recovery system.
Abstract:
An improved oxygen bleaching process wherein the pulp is bleached in an aqueous organic medium wherein a polyhydric alcohol constitutes between 10 an 70 % by weight of the medium to produce a pulp having a viscosity at least 2.5 cp higher than a similar pulp bleached using the same conditions in an aqueous atmosphere to the same kappa no. of 8 ml.
