PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF PULP

Abstract of the Disclosure:
An improved process for the production of pulp charac-terized by the employment of a novel type of cooking aid is disclosed. The cooking is carried out in the presence of a small amount of a compound selected from the group consisting of hydroxyanthracenes and derivatives thereof. The cooking yield is substantially increased and the quality of the resulting pulp and paper is improved.

Description

This invention relates -to a process for the production of pul~. More particularl~Jr9 the inven-tion relates to a pro cess for -the production of pulp from lignocellulosic materials by carrying ou-t the cooking in the presence of a small amount of a novel type of cooking aid selected from -the group con-sisting of hydroxyanthracenes and derivatives thereof. The cooking aid can be added to a cooking liquor in any of the conventional alkaline, or sulfite or the like cooking proces-ses. The term "alkaline cooking process" or simply "alkaline process" herein used includes various alkaline cooking proces-ses such as a kra~t process9 a soda process9 a sodium carbonate process and the like. Similarly, the term "sulfite cooking process" or simply "sulfite process" herein used includes various sulfite cooking processes such as an alkaline sulfite process~ a neutral sul~ite process, a bisulfite process, and the like In the field of producing pulp ~rom lignocellulosic material such as wood, bagasse, hemp and the like, a number of various trials have been repeated from old times to improve the cooking yield, the rate of cooking and the quality of the product pulp, aiming at the economical production of good quality pulp with decreased consumption o~ raw material and of energy. For example, instead of an ordinary kraf-t process in which lignocellulosic material such as wood is subjected to treatment by a cooking liquor comprising essentially sodium hydrate and sodiw~ sulfide, a modified process thereo~ which is usually called a "polysulfide process" and is characterized by being sub~ected to treatment with a cooking liquor compris-ing a sodium polysulfide is nowadays more popularly employed~
Various other modifications, for example, the addition of ~l~

borohydride5 hydra~ine, hydroxylamine or the like have also been proposed and ~ried. Mos-t o~ such modified processes, however, have not been fit for practical use because in some cases to-tal or partial change of the processing equipment is required, in other cases -there is a significant increase in production cost, and in other cases the process is not appli-cable to soft or hard woods or both. Thus, except for said polysulfide process, none of the above-mentioned prior art processes is more than a laboratory model.
10Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to provide a novel process for the production of pulp completely ~ree from the disadvantages men-tioned above. The novel process of the present inven-tion is characterlzed by the selective use of a specific type of a cooking aid comprislng at least one member selected from the group consisting of hydroxyanthra4enes and the derivatives thereof. More particularly, in one aspect of the present inven-tion, there is provided a process for pro-; ducing alkaline pulp by carrying Ollt the cooking of lignocel-lulosic materials such as wood, bagasse, hemp and the like in an alkaline cooking liquor in the presence of a small amount of hydroxyanthracene or a derivative -thereof which is added as a novel type of cooking aid~ In another aspect of the presen-t invention9 there is provided a process for producing sulfite pulp by carrying out the cooking of said lignocellu-losic materials in a cooking liquor comprising sulfi-te in the presence of a small amount of the same cooking aid as mentioned above. As a result of effecting the cooking of such lignocel-lulosic materials as mentioned above in the presence of a specific amoun-t of said novel cooking aid according -to the ~ 30 present invention, the solution veloci-ty of lignin from said ; - 3 lignocellulosic materials is substantially increased, and in turn the rate of cooking is substantially increased too. The cooking yield in pulp production is also substantiall~ improved as compared with the prior art process using the same degree of cooking. This is because hydroxyanthracene or a deri~Jative -thereof added to the cooking liquor functions as a cooking aid to promote the dissolution of lignin into the cooking liquor as well as to prevent the degradation of cellulose and hemicel-lulose throughout the cooking treatment. As a result of usi~g such a novel cooking aid, the cooking yield and also the quality of the resulting pulp are improved and the rate of cooking is increased. Incidental to the increased rate of cooking, the amounts of cooking chemicals and steam required for heating -are also substantially reduced.
Typical compounds which can be advan-tageously employed as said cooking aid in the practice of -the present invention include hydroxyanthracenes and derivat-ves thereof having the following general formula:

~ (OA)n ................................. (1) wherein R represents H, COOX wherein X is H or Na, or SO3Y 20 wherein Y is H or Na9 A represents H or Na9 m represents O, 1 or 29 and n represents 1 or 2. The case wherein R represents H in the above general formula refers to a case in which at least one carbon atom in the anthracene nucleus loses its double bond to change from CH to CH2 in the same position.
Namelyi the compounds defined by the above general formula (1) include those to be ohtained by the addition of at least one hydrogen atom to the carbon atom in the anthracene nucleus fi~ 9 to have it lose its double bond and change from its CH form to CH2 form in the same position, and include9 ~or example, the compounds represented by the general ~ormulas:

Rm ~ (~)n ..... (2) --I` ~J` , .
and ~ (OA)n :
wherein R9 A, m and n have the same meanings as already defined.
Among those compounds, dihydroxyanthracene, dihydroxy-dihydroanthracene9 carboxydihydroxyanthracene as well as dihydroxyanthracenesulfonic acids including their sodium salts and dihydroxyanthracene carboxylic acids including their sodium salts can be most advantageously employed in the practice of the present in~ention.
; These novel cooking aid co~pounds are pre~erably used in an amount in the region o~ ODOO5 - 3% by weight based on the bone dry weight of the raw material chips or the li~no cellulosic materials -to be added -to the cooking liquor. I~
the compound is used in an amount in -the region of 0.01 - 0.1 by weight based on -the same standard, optimum best results will be obtained.
Among compounds represented by the general formulas (1) - (~) the dihydrodihydroxyanthracene can easily be synthesized ~rom naphthoquinone, and butadiene by making use o~ Diels-Alder reaction. For example9 if naphthoquinone and butadiene are reacted with each other in a hydrophobic solvent such as chloronaphthalene in the known Diels~Alder , reaction as disclosed, for example9 in U S. Patent 2,938,913, tetrahydroanthraquinone is obtained according to the equation as shown below. This product changes, upon being dissolved in an aqueous alkaline solution such as an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, -to an alkali salt of dihydrodihycLroxyanthracene, which can be treated with an acid such as sul~uri.c acid9 hydrochloric acid or the like -to precipitate dihydrodihydroxyanthracene, Alternatively, te-trahydroanthraquinone can directly be treated with an aqueous solution of an acid such as sulfuric acid to obtain dihydrodihydroxyanthracene as a precipitate as disclo~ed in USP 1,8909040, page 2, right column.
