Abstract
A method for producing chemithermomechanical pulp from lignocellulosic material, by preheating and refining the material at an elevated temperature of 160-180 ·C, subsequent to pre-impregnating the chips with an impregnating liquid that contains borohydride, at least one compound chosen from the group sodium sulphite, sodium hydrosulphite and sodium disulphite, and optionally one or more sequestering agents. The impregnating liquid preferably has a neutral, near neutral or slightly acid pH. The inventive method enables pulp discoloration to be avoided and/or a reduction in pulp brightness to be counteracted in the preheating and refining processes. The invention also relates to an impregnating liquid for impregnating lignocellulosic material in the production of chemithermomechanical pulps.
Description
2 ~ PcrlsEg2~00348 A METHOD FOR THE MANUP'AC`TURE OF
CHhrMIq~HERMOMECHANICAL PULP
[
The Field and Backqround of_the Tnvention The present invention relates to a method for the manu-facture of chemithermomechanical pulp (hereinafter referred to as CTMP-pulps), and par~icularly to a method for avoiding pulp discolouration and/or for counteract-ing a reduction in pulp brightness in the manufacture of a CTMP-pulp at elevated temperature, and also to an impregnating liquid used when practicing the method.
Paper pulp produced from lignocellulosic material is manufactured by subjecting raw material in the form of wood chips to a mechanical, a chemical and a thermal treatment process, these processes either being effected simultaneously or separàtely. CTMP-pulp is manufactured conventionally by preheating and refining the wood chips at a temperature of about 100-130-C~ It has now been found that energy consumption can be reduced to about half the energy that is consumed when refining CTMP-pulps conventionally at 130-C, by preheating and refin-ing the pulps at an elevated temperature of 160-180 C.
A pulp refining process which is 80 lean in energy is highly desirable and has also arrived at the right time, : 80 to speak, and, furthermore, will probably become a necessity in the future, since energy prices are expect-ed to increase considerably.
It has earlier been considered impossible to manufacture bright mechanical pulp subssquent to preheating and refining at temperatu~es higher than about 130-C, since pulp brightness is impaired at higher temperatures. It has also been considered impo6sible to bleach pulps which have been refined at higher temperatures in subse-quent bleaching stages at reasonable costs and at rea-sonable chemical consumptions. Furthermore, when refin-ing at said higher temperatures, the fibres are liable to become covered with lignin, which may result in impaired strength and absorption properties. These latter properties are particularly important in the case of absorbent pulps. Conse~uently, refinement of the pulp has normally been effected at a temperature of at most 140-C and often at a temperature beneath 130-C. In the manufacture of highly absorbent pulps intended for the production of fluff and tissue, a high freeness and low shive content is desired, i.e. the pulp freeness index will preferably lie above 600 ml CSF, preferably above 700 ml CSF, and the shive content will not exceed 10%, preferably will lie beneath 6%.
Disclosure of the Invention and the Ob~ect Thereof The inventive method enables pulp to be refined at an elevated temperature,- with the intention of saving energy - without impairing pulp brightness. The pulp produced can also be bleached with peroxide in a subse-quent bleaching stage. The inventive method is charac-terized by pre-impregnating the wood chips with an t impregnating liquid that contains borohydride, at least one compound chosen from the group sodium sulphite, sodium hydrosulphate and sodium disulphite, and option-ally one or more sequestering agents, wherein the im-pregnating li~uid has a neutral, a near neutral or aslight ~acid p~-value, and by preheating the impregnat-ed chips to a temperature of 16~-180'C and carrying out the refining process while maintaining said temperature.
The borohydride is suitably added in the for,m of an alkaline aqueous solution, for instance the borohydride W092/20855 2 ~ 0 9 ?~ PCT/SE92/00 solution retailed commercially under the trade name BOROL~ and which contains 12 percent by weight NaBH4.
The borohydride is added in the form of said aqueous solution in an amount of about 5-15 kg BOROL~ per tonne of chips, preferably about 10 kg per tonne of chips.
Thus, the amount of active borohydride added should -correspond to about 0.6-1.8 kg NaBH4 per tonne of chips, preferably about 1.2 kg per tonne of chips.
The sulphite-containing compound consists of sodium sulphite, sodium hydrosulphite, sodium disulphite, or a mixture of two or more of these compounds. Calculated as the amount of sodium sulphite, Na2SO3, added to the system the total sulphite charge is roughly 20-40 kg per tonne of chips, preferably about 30 kg per tonne of chips, or correspondin~ stoichiometric quantities of S02, HSO3 and/or S2O~ . In order to achieve maximum pulp brightness, the impregnating liquid should be qiven a neutral pH, a near neutral pH or a slightly acid pH, i.e. the pH of the liquid should lie between about 5 and 7, preferably from 5.5-6.5. This pH-value can be ob-tained with the aid of an acid, for instance sulphuric acid, H2SO4, or with the aid of sulphur dioxide, S02, which is often available in the pulp mill. When S02 is used to acidify the impregnating liquid, or when HS03 or S2O5 is used instead of SO3 , the total sulphite charge must, however, be adapted so as to lie within the aforesaid pH-range. The manner in which this sulphite charge and the recommended pH-value are achieved is, however, unimportant to the invention and may be carried , out in any appropriate manner when practicing the invention.
One or more se~uestering agents are also preferably added to the impregnating liquid, in order to bind in the pulp any metal ion~ that may be whiah are liable to ~ ~ ~ v cause discolouration. A suitable sequestering agent in this regard is the sodium salt of diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA), or ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), said sequestering agent being added in an amount of about 2-4 kg per tonne of chips.
The invention also relates to an impregnating liquid intended for t~e impregnation of lignocellulosic mate-rial in the manufacture of chemithermomechanical pulp.
The impregnating liquid includes borohydride, at least one compound selected fro~ the group sodium sulphite, sodium hydrosulphite and sodium disulphite, and option~
ally one or more se~uestering agents. The weight ratio between the active components borohydride and total sulphite concentration of the liquid is between 20:80 and 30:70, preferably about 2S:75. The pH of the im-pregnating liquid is adjusted to a neutral value, a near neutral value or a weakly acid value, in other words the ~pH-value of the liquid will preferably lie between 5 and 7, more preferably between 5.5-6.5.
When producing wood pulp in accordance with the present invention, wood chips are impregnated with an impregnat-ing liquid that contains borohydride and at least one compound selected from the group sodium sulphite, sodium hydrosulphite and sodium disulphite, and optionally one or more sequestering agents. The impregnated chips are then preheated over a period of from 1-3 minutes, pre-ferably over a period of about 1 minute, at a tempera-ture of 160-180'C, preferably about 165-170 C, where-after the wood chips are defibred/refined to pulp form while essentially maintaining pressure and temperature from the preheating stage. The pulp is suitably washed under pressure and high temperature, preferably without the ingress of air, in immediate connection with the refining process, the pulp being dewatered to a W092/20855 ~ ~9 ~ 1 ~ PCT/SE92/~
consistency of 25-40%, and then bleached with peroxide.
The pulp can be rewashed after the bleaching stage, if necessary.
- 5 The pulp is refined to a freenQss value in excess of 700 ml CSF, at an energy consumption of about 500 kWh/
tonne.
The aforedescribed method enables a pulp of unbleached brightness to be produced by high temperature refinement prior to the peroXide bleaching stage, this brightness being comparable to the brightness of conventionally-produced CTMP-pulps. When the pulp produced in accor-dance with the invention is subjected to a following peroxide bleaching stage there is also obtained an equivalent bleaching response and a maximum brightness of the same order of magnitude as that achieved with pulps produced conventionally at lower temperatures.
Working Example Example 1. ~High temperature refinement with boro-hydride).
.
~25 ~ ~ Spruce chips were impregnated with impregnating liguids containing 30 kg sodium sulphite, 10 kg BOROL~ t12%
a~ueous solution of sodium borohydride) and 3 kg DTPA
per tonne of chips. The impregnating liquid had a pH = 11, or alternatlvely was neutralized or acidified with H ~ 04 to p~ = 8 and pH = 6 respectively. The chips ~; were preheated at a temperature of 165-C for a period of l minute. The chips were then refined while maintaining the aforesaid temperature.
Subsequent to this refinement, the pulp was washed and dewatered in immediate connection with the refining W092/20855 ~ PCT~SE92/~
process under pressure and at high temperature, about 1~0-180C, without the ingress of air into the pulp.
Reference is made to the following Table 1 with regard to other process conditions.
~ The brightness of the unbleached pulps produced was measured in accordance with SCAN-C 11 at a wavelength of 4S7 nm.
The produced pulps were then bleached in a conventional manner, using 40 kg of peroxide per tonne of pulp. The brightness of the pulps was measured in t~e same manner as that used to measure the brightness of the un~leached pulps. The brightnes~ values measured are set forth in lS Table 1 below.
Example 2. (High temperature refinement without boro-hydride)~
Spruce chips were impregnated with an impregnating liquid having a pH = 9.5 and containing 30 kg Na2S03 and 3 kg of DTPA per tonne of chips. The chips were heated to 165 C over a period of 1 minute and were treated, in --other respects, in accordance with Example 1. The brightness of the unbleached pulp and the brightness of the pulp bleached with peroxide were measured in accor-dance with SCAN-C 11 and the results are set forth in Table 1 below.
Example 3. (Conventional refinement).
' Spruce chips were impregnated with impregnating liquid similar to that used in Example 2. ~he chips were preheated to 130-C over a period of 3 minutes and refined while maintaining this temperature. Subsequent to refinement, the pulp was washed and dewatered in a W092/208S5 - ~ J~;~ PCTtSE92/00 conventional manner at about 130 C, without the ingress of air into the pulp.
The brightness of the unbleached pulp and the brightness of the pulp bleached with peroxide were measured and ~he results obtained are set forth in Table 1 below.
The results obtained with the three methods described in Examples 1-3 above and the process conditions applicable to said method~ are collected in Table 1.

It is evident from the results obtained wit~ the bright-ness measurements made on the produced pulps that the high temperature refinement carried out with the inten-tion of reducing the amount of energy consumed by the refinement process can be achieved while maintaining the brightness of the pulps produced provided that the chips are pre-impregnated with an impregnating liquid in accordance with the invention. The measured brightness values also show that the pH of the impregnating li~uor has an effect on the result.
