Hexenuronic acid (HexA) is a substance produced by demethylating methylglucuronic acid in the polyxylose side chains of hemicellulose during the cooking process. The content of hexenuronic acid (HexA) in the bleached pulp is correlated with the discoloration of the bleached pulp.
The peroxymonosulfuric acid bleaching step (MPS step) is usually performed by adding peroxymonosulfuric acid (MPS) to a pulp slurry and performing a bleaching treatment. The pulp obtained after the bleaching treatment is suitably washed.
(pulp slurry)

By adding lignin and a bleaching source substance, the removal ability of hexenuronic acid (HexA) based on peroxomonosulfuric acid (MPS) can be improved.
The lignin and the bleaching-derived substance may be prepared separately or prepared as additives, but the drainage obtained in the bleaching step of the method for producing bleached pulp may be used. In each bleaching step of the method for producing bleached pulp, lignin and substances derived from bleaching are removed from the pulp, and therefore lignin and substances derived from bleaching may be contained in the resulting drainage.
The drainage water containing lignin and a bleaching source is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include an unbleached pulp preparation step, an oxygen-alkali bleaching step (O step), a peroxymonosulfuric acid bleaching step (MPS step), an ozone bleaching step (Z step), a chlorine dioxide bleaching step (D step), and an alkaline hydrogen peroxide bleaching step (Ep step). The "drainage" is usually derived from the washing liquid of the pulp after the bleaching treatment. Among these, the drainage of the peroxymonosulfuric acid bleaching step (MPS step) and the chlorine dioxide bleaching step (D step) is preferably reused, and the drainage of the peroxymonosulfuric acid bleaching step (MPS step) and the 1 st chlorine dioxide bleaching step (D step) is more preferably reused.

In the present invention, bleached pulp having excellent whiteness can be produced. In other words, since the waste water obtained in the bleaching step of the present invention contains a large amount of lignin and a substance originating from bleaching, the concentration of total organic carbon increases. Further, by reusing the above-mentioned drain water in the peroxysulfuric acid bleaching step, hexA can be removed at low cost and with high efficiency.
The pH of the pulp slurry is preferably 1 to 6, more preferably 2 to 5. That is, in one embodiment, the treatment pH in the peroxymonosulfuric acid bleaching step is preferably 1 to 6, more preferably 2 to 5.

As a result, the whiteness of the obtained bleached pulp is increased, the K value residual ratio is decreased, and the HexA content residual ratio is reduced. In addition, a decrease in viscosity can be prevented or suppressed.

[ mathematics 1]
If the ratio of the above-mentioned addition ratio is in the range of 0.25 or less, lignin is polymerized again in the peroxymonosulfuric acid bleaching step, and the addition ratio of chlorine dioxide in the subsequent chlorine dioxide bleaching step increases. If the ratio of the above-mentioned addition is in the range of 4.0 or more, the peroxymonosulfuric acid is insufficient, and therefore, sufficient bleaching cannot be performed in the peroxymonosulfuric acid bleaching step. As a result, bleached pulp having a whiteness degree superior to that of the bleached pulp can be produced at the aforementioned addition ratio. In addition, the HexA content can be reduced, and bleached pulp which is not easy to fade can be manufactured.
In one embodiment, the ratio of the addition rate is preferably 0.3 to 3.0, more preferably 0.5 to 2.3, still more preferably 0.5 to 1.8, particularly preferably 0.9 to 1.8, and most preferably 1.0 to 1.5. If the ratio of the above-mentioned addition ratio is within the above-mentioned range, the bleaching balance of the peroxymonosulfuric acid bleaching step and the chlorine dioxide bleaching step becomes appropriate, and lignin and/or hexenuronic acid (HexA) can be suitably removed from unbleached pulp, for example. As a result, the whiteness of the obtained bleached pulp is increased, the K value residual ratio is decreased, and the HexA content residual ratio is reduced. In addition, a decrease in viscosity can be prevented or suppressed.
In another embodiment, the addition ratio is preferably 0.25 to 2.0, more preferably 0.25 to 1.5, still more preferably 0.25 to 1.0, particularly preferably 0.25 to 0.5, and most preferably 0.25 to 0.3. If the addition ratio is within the above range, the bleaching balance of the peroxymonosulfuric acid bleaching step and the chlorine dioxide bleaching step becomes appropriate, and for example, bleached pulp becomes less likely to deteriorate, which is preferable. Specifically, the whiteness of the bleached pulp is preferably not easily deteriorated, and the viscosity is hardly lowered due to the deterioration.

On the other hand, if the treatment time in the chlorine dioxide bleaching step is 150 minutes or less, it is preferable from the viewpoint that bleached pulp excellent in whiteness can be efficiently produced, productivity is excellent, and the like.

(Persulfuric acid bleaching Process (MPS Process))
A polyethylene bag was sampled with an oven-dried mass of 34g of raw pulp (whiteness: 49.2%, K value: 7.0, viscosity 18cP, hexA content: 32.6. Mu. Mol/g). The hollow fiber membrane-filtered water required for bleaching was added to a pulp concentration of 10%, and then a predetermined amount of sulfuric acid aqueous solution was added to adjust the pH at the start of the reaction to about 3, followed by thorough mixing. Thereafter, peroxomonosulfuric acid was added in an amount of 0.13 mass% based on the absolute dry mass of the unbleached pulp, and the mixture was further mixed.
Immersing in a constant temperature water tank at 98 ℃ for 120 minutes, thereby performing bleaching treatment.
And cleaning the pulp after the MPS process. Specifically, pure water was added until the pulp concentration became 2.4%, and then dehydration was performed until the pulp concentration became 20% (washing rate 90%).
(1 st chlorine dioxide bleaching step (D step))
The bleached pulp obtained in the above was sampled in a polyethylene bag with an oven dry mass of 16 g. The hollow fiber membrane-filtered water required for bleaching was added to a pulp concentration of 10%, and then a predetermined amount of sulfuric acid aqueous solution was added to adjust the pH at the start of the reaction to about 3, followed by thorough mixing. After that, chlorine dioxide was added in an amount of 0.50 mass% relative to the absolute dry mass of the unbleached pulp, and further mixed. The ratio of the addition rate of chlorine dioxide to the absolute dry mass of unbleached pulp (0.50 mass%) to the addition rate of peroxomonosulfuric acid to the absolute dry mass of unbleached pulp (0.13 mass%), i.e., the addition rate of chlorine dioxide/the addition rate of peroxomonosulfuric acid, was 3.85.
The pulp was washed in the same manner as in the MPS step by immersing in a water bath at a constant temperature of 70 ℃ for 120 minutes to perform bleaching treatment.
The ISO whiteness, potassium permanganate number (K value), viscosity, hexenuronic acid content (HexA content) of the bleached pulp were measured by the following methods. In each measurement, a pulp sheet (acid paper) produced by the following method was used as a measurement sample. Here, the pulp sheet (acid paper making) was diluted with 2L of pure water and then adjusted to ph5.5 with sulfurous acid water. Next, 2 sheets were prepared on a buchner funnel, and air-dried for 12 hours, thereby preparing the tablets.

Next, 80mL of pure water was added thereto, and then formic acid was added thereto to adjust the pH to 3. The pressure vessel was placed in an oven and treated at 120℃for 4 hours to effect acid hydrolysis of HexA. After the treatment, filtration was performed, and 2-furoic acid and 5-carboxy-2-furaldehyde, which are acid hydrolysates of HexA present in the filtered solution, were quantified by HPLC, and the original HexA content was calculated from the total of their molar amounts. As a result, the HexA content of the bleached pulp was 6.4. Mu. Mol/g (residual ratio of HexA content relative to the starting pulp: 20%).
