Definitions
- This invention relates to a process for ' producing fiberboard according to the wet method in a closed backwater system, in which process chips of ligno- cel 1 ul ose-containing material are preheated in an atmosphere of saturated steam at increased temperature and under increased pressure and thereupon defibrated under atmospheric or increased pressure,- the defibrated material is suspended in backwater so as to obtain a pulp suspension for formation of wet sheets which are liberated from water by compression under supply of heat, the water squeezed out being returned to the suspension step. -
- the 1 ignocel 1 ulose-containing material which may consist of any kind of annual or perennial plants, such as coniferous or hardwood, straw or bagasse, etc. , is usually prior to the defibration step disintegrated to suitable piece size such as chips or chaff.
- chips which for the sake of simpl icity hereinafter generally shall be referred to as "chips"
- chips are disintegrated and treated mechanically, defibrated into pulp at increased temperature and under increased pressure in an atmosphere of steam.
- the temperature can be kept between 125 and 200°C depending on the type of starting material , pulp qual ⁇ ity and supplied grinding energy.
- the defibration is usually performed in disc grinders of various types, such as machines equipped with grinding members for single or double rotation. The temperature
- OM?I during the defibration is in most cases kept in the range between 150 and 170 C and corresponding steam pressure.
- the grinding energy may vary between 100 and 300 K h per ton, but is usually about 200 KWh per ton, of bone dry material , when wood chips are defibrated and ground finally in one step.
- the defibration is performed at a temperature of. 170°C and coniferous wood is used as the starting material , about 8 percent of the dry substance of the wood are dissol ved by hydrolysis as polysaccarides of varying composition in the water contained in the chips and escapes partly into the backwater and partly into the finished fiberboard.
- the main object of the invention is to provide a novel process to reduce the content of released organic substance in the backwater in the production of pulp for fiberboard and this object is attained by the pro ⁇ cess being characterized therein that the pulp ob ⁇ tained by the defibration is dewatered and that the aqueous solution obtained thereby of organic sub ⁇ stance released in the defibration step is returned into the process by impregnation of the chips prior to the defibration of the same.
- the entering chips are impregnated with an aqueous sol ution of substance released during the de ⁇ fibration and thereafter defibrated at 170 C, the dissolved substance is bound practically completely in the pulp and cannot be removed by washing with water.
- the conversion of the dissolved substance to insoluble state is effected probably by cooperation of several processes of chemical as well as physical nature.
- the rel eased substance consists substan- tially of polysaccarides , which can undergo both polymerisation and condensation processes and con ⁇ verted to substances difficult to dissolve in water. It is also possible that the polysaccarides are ab ⁇ sorbed so firmly into and onto the fiber walls that they cannot be dissolved out by means of water.
- Evaporation of the squeezed-out solution can be effected in any known method of evaporation, but should suitably be done at reduced pressure in order to avoid trouble due to incrustation, o r by evaporation of heated aqueous solution with air, the water then es ⁇ caping as an air-steam mixture.
- the entering chips are conveyed by means of a con ⁇ veyor 10 to a steaming vessel 12 wherein they are mois ⁇ tened with steam which is drawn off through pipe 14 from a cyclone 16 belonging to a later part of the plant.
- the moist chips are discharged into a screw press 18 where water is squeezed out mechanically and drained off through pipe 20 to a vessel 22 situated below.
- an impregnation vessel 24 where it is allowed to expand and absorb aqueous solution con ⁇ taining released substance of polysaccarides etc. , which aqueous solution has been obtained by mechanical dewatering of the pulp in a later step in the plant and been conveyed to the impregnation vessel 24 via pipe 26.
- a feed screw 28 the chips are fed into preheater 30 which is subjected to steam pressure and to which steam is fed from a pipe 32, from which pipe a branch pipe 32a opens into the steaming vessel 12.
- the chips heated by means of steam are conveyed through screw feeder 34 into a defibrator 36 with motor 38 and are ground to pulp.
- the finished pulp - in which the organic substance supplied during the impregnation in the vessel 24 was changed into in ⁇ soluble state, is blown through a blowduct 40 to the cyclone 16.
- the pulp is fed from the cyclone 16 by means of screw conveyor 46 to receptacle 48, which is equipped with a stirring device.
- a pipe 42 from the vessel 22 leads to the receptacle 48, through which pipe drained-off wood water from the vessel 22 is supplied to the receptacle by means of pump 44.
- the pulp is fed from the receptacle 48 via chute 50 down -into high pressure screw press- 52, wherein the pulp is dewatered mechanically..
- the aqueous solution ob ⁇ tained thereby of organic substance released in the defibration step is drained off from the screw press 52 via pipe 54 to vessel 56, from which it is pumped by means of pump 58 via pipe 60 through a heat ex ⁇ changer 62 to a cooling tower 64, where part of the water is evaporated.
- the heating in the preheater 62 is performed with steam which is drawn off from the cyclone 16 via pipe I4a and which leaves the preheater via conduit 66. Part of the water thus is evaporated in the tower 64 as a steam-air mixture, the air being supplied by means of fan 68.
- the evaporated solution is pumped by means of a pump 70 through the pipe 26 into the impregnation vessel 24 for impregnation of a new charge of fresh chips, as described earlier.
- the incoming chips of coniferous wood which are assumed to amount per hour to 8 000 kgs T.S. +• 8 000 kgs of water, are fed into the steaming vessel 12, and simultaneously 1 925 kgs of steam are supplied through the pipe 14, whereupon the chips holding 100 percent of moisture are conducted down into the screw press 18, where they are dewatered to a T.S.
- Pulp from the cyclone is fed by the screw 46 into the receptacle 48, into which at the same time 3 380 kgs of wood water from the vessel 22 are conducted by means of the pump 44 and the pipe 42.
- From the receptacle 48 equipped with a device for thorough stirring the pulp flows down into the high pressure screw press 52 and dewatered to 55 percent dry substance.
- 10 400 kgs of water with 400 kgs of soluble sub- stance from a total 640 kgs of substance released from the chips flows down into the vessel 56. 245 kgs of dissolved substance remain in the pulp. This quantity of dissolved substance is caused to remain the fiber ⁇ board in order that all released material shall be
- the backwater may be permitted to hold 245 kgs of dissolved substance per 5 200 kgs of water or 4.5 percent.
- the solution flowing down into the vessel 56 comprises 10 400 kgs of water + 400 kgs of released substance, this is more than the chips normally are capable to absorb, a quantity which usually does not exceed 8 000 kgs of water per 8 000 kgs of chips T.S. Therefore, 2 400 kgs of water must be evaporated in the tower 64, which is effected by preheating of the solution. The preheating is done with steam coming from the cyclone 16 through the pipe 14a.
- the whole quantity of released wood substance can be rended harmless in such a way that 400 kgs are bound within the pulp during the defibration and 245 kgs are bound in the fiberboard. 5 200 kgs of water evaporated in the hot press are replaced by supply of water to the backwater cycle. Any discharge of backwater need not be done, and the content of 4.5 percent of dissolved organic substance in the backwater is kept at a suffi ⁇ ciently low level to avoid any discoloration of the fiberboard units in the hot pressing operation.

Des copeaux d'un matériau contenant de la ligno-cellulose, après défibration en pulpe, sont mis en suspension dans l'eau de manière à obtenir une suspension de pulpe pour former des feuilles mouillées dont on extrait l'eau par compression avec apport de chaleur, l'eau exprimée étant renvoyée à l'étape de suspension. On extrait mécaniquement l'eau de la pulpe obtenue dans la défibration, et la solution aqueuse obtenue de substances organiques libérées pendant l'étape de défibration est utilisée pour l'imprégnation des copeaux avant la défibration, cette substance se liant ainsi dans la pulpe.Process for the production of fiberboard by the wet process in a closed water return system. Chips of a material containing lignocellulose, after pulp defibration, are suspended in water so as to obtain a pulp suspension to form wet leaves from which the water is extracted by compression with the addition of heat, the water expressed being returned to the suspension stage. The water is mechanically extracted from the pulp obtained in defibration, and the aqueous solution obtained from organic substances released during the defibration step is used for impregnating the chips before defibration, this substance thus binding in the pulp.
