Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the digestion of lignocellulose material to recover a fibrous cellulose by dissolving the lignin and hemicellulose constituents of the lignocellulose material in an aqueous methyl or ethyl alcohol containing dissolved a chloride or nitrate of magnesium, calcium or barium or magnesium sulfate or a mixture thereof in an amount of from 0.001 to 1.0 molar, for not more than two hours at elevated temperatures above 130°C and pressures, the amount of cooking liquor being at least 4 parts by weight per part by weight of the lignocellulose material, and recovery of the cellulose which has remained undissolved.
- the problem to be solved by the invention is to improve delignification specificity for all lignocellulose species and thereby to increase the yield of cellulose pulp, to reduce viscosity losses in cellulose due to carbohydrate degradation, improve the quality and stability of dissolved lignin in solution and increase the uniformity of digestion at reduced cooking times of air-dry softwood chips and increase temperature stability of lignocellulose materials during high temperature digestion.
- the effect of the additive is much greater than with the addition of either the alkaline earth metal salt or the acid reacting substances, so that the total amount of additives can be substantially reduced.
- methanol is the preferred alcohol, but where methanol is not available in sufficient amount ethanol can be used as well.
- the alcohol content of the cooking liquor must be between 80 and 98 percent by volume, but the higher percentages within this range are relatively difficult to achieve because of the moisture contained in the lignocellulose starting material.
- the preferred ratio of lignocellulose material to cooking liquor is 1:6 to 1:20 by weight.
- Wood chips in both air-dry and green conditions were conditioned to a uniform moisture content before the pulping trials.
- Batch quantities of commercial size chips were charged into the digester with ten times their weight of cooking liquor containing predetermined quantities of the salt catalysts.
- the volume ratio of methanol to water ranged between 90:10.
- the sealed stationary vessel was quickly brought to cooking temperature in a thermostatically controlled glycerine bath and the temperature held constant for the cooking interval required.
- the reported cooks are those which at the end of the stated period produced a free pulp when slurried in a disintegrator at slow stirred speed.
- the pulping liquor when subjected to vacuum distillation at low temperature yields a flocculated lignin precipitate.
- a sugar solution having a solids concentration up to 25 per cent by weight is obtained.
- Charcoal filtration removes most of the yellow color due to the water soluble lignin depolymerisation products.
- the molecular weight distribution of the lignin shows one major and 2 to 3 minor peaks with the maximum being under 3800. Purification of the crude lignin is most effectively done by redissolution in acetone and spray drying in vacuum at low temperature to avoid melting and resinification. A dried solid filter cake is easily broken up into a free flowing tan- colored powder.
- the combined effect of high alcohol concentration and high pressure is an essential aspect of this invention in that it allows faster delignification of any wood species to low residual lignin content levels which earlier were not possible without considerable losses in cellulose viscosity.
- the pressure effect diminishes somewhat when solvent compositions lower than 80:20 alcohol:water content are used.
- Table 5 demonstrates the advantages of alcohol concentration higher than 80% by volume and overpressure on delignification and carbohydrate retention at a cooking temperature of 210°C.
