Definitions
- mechanical pulping in general, refers to thermomechanical pulp (TMP), chemimechanical (CMP) and chemithermomechnical pulp (CTMP). While mechanical pulps can be useful for a number of purposes, oftentimes they cannot be made bright enough for many intended end uses, and their brightness tends to degrade over time. Further, the mechanical refining process utilized as the main component of mechanical pulping processes often results in breakdown of fibers having desirable characteristics so that the final pulp produced has relatively poor drainage properties, and relatively poor strength.
- a method for enhancing the brightness and/or drainage and strength properties of mechanical pulp, whether it be TMP, CMP, or CTMP.
- TMP, CMP or CTMP is produced by sequentially: (i) Impregnating comminuted fibrous cellulosic material with chemical or thermal treating fluid. (ii) Washing the impregnated material. The washing is preferably accomplished by passing a washing liquid including chelating and surface active agents countercurrent to the flow of material, and is effective to remove a number of materials that subsequently could have an adverse affect on pulp brightness, including residual cooking chemicals, metals, color bodies, and resins. (iii) The washed material is mechanically refined to produce a . mechanical pulp, preferably having a consistency of about 6-15 percent. And, (iv) further treatment, including bleaching with hydrosulfite and/or peroxide, of the mechanical pulp is effected in order to achieve the desired properties.
- a CMP or CTMP pulp is produced by effecting a countercurrent flow of sulfite chemical and comminuted fibrous cellulosic material, to effect impregnation of the material.
- the material may subsequently be cooked, and thereafter is refined and further treated as described above.
- the countercurrent impregnation provides very effective penetration of the chips, or other material, with sulfite liquor, and ultimately results in more uniform removal of impurities from the chips in such a way as to improve pulp properties and decrease bleach costs.
- a mechanical pulp is produced by series refining. Chips, or like comminuted cellulosic fibrous material, are pretreated, and then passed to a first pressurized refiner. From the first refiner the mechanical pulp passes to a screen, which screens out pulp portions in need of further refining into a first stream, and pulp fibers already having desired properties into a second stream. The first stream is passed to a second pressurized refiner having a discharge, and the second stream is passed directly to the second refiner discharge.
- the mechanical pulp according to the present invention has enhanced strength and drainage, and can be bleached to a higher brightness level than is possible in the prior art, (e.g., 5 Kappa units higher) and may be bleached to any given brightness level more easily.
- FIGURE 1 shows the step by step production of CMP according to a method of the present invention
- FIGURES 2 and 3 show methods for the production of CTMP and TMP, respectively, with stages therein identical to those in FIGURE 1 not illustrated.
- hardwood or softwood chips, or other comminuted cellulosic fibrous material are first steamed at station 11. Then they are subjected to countercurrent impregnation with sulfite (e.g. sodium sulfite) chemical at station 12, the countercurrent action properly distributing the chemical in the chips.
- sulfite e.g. sodium sulfite
- the chemical facilitates removal of water soluble substances and some of the lignin and polysaccharides, although most of the lignin and polysaccharides remain in the material.
- the wash liquid preferably includes chelating and surface active agents, such as EDPA and DPTA.
- the wash effects removal of residual cooking chemicals, metals, color bodies, and resins.
- the countercurrent impregnation and countercurrent wash at stations 12, 13, combined remove impurities very uniformly and in such a way as to improve pulp properties, decrease subsequent bleaching costs, and maximize the brightness to which the pulp may be bleached.
- the washed chips are passed from station 13 to a first pressurized refining stage 14, at which a mechanical refiner acts on the chips to form a mechanical pulp.
- the pulp at this stage usually has a consistency of about 6-15 percent, and the pulp, at this consistency, is passed to a screening station 15 wherein it is separated into first and second streams 16, 17.
- the first stream comprises pulp components that require further refining, while the second stream 17 contains pulp portions having fibers with desirable properties so that further refining thereof is not necessary.
- the first stream 16 is passed to a second pressurized refining stage 18 while the second stream 17 is passed directly to the discharge line 19 from the second refiner stage 18. In this way fibers having desired properties are not further broken down, and thus the drainage and strength of the pulp is improved.
- the pulp in discharge line 19, with a consistency of 6-15 percent, is further treated in any manner desirable to produce CMP having the necessary properties. Typically this would include a wash station 20 and a bleach station 21. During bleaching, hydrosulfite and/or peroxide would be added to the pulp, and the final product produced would be bleached CMP.
- CTMP typically has enhanced strength compared to other mechanical pulps - such as TMP, although the yield is slightly lower - and is particularly suited for pulping of high density hardwoods.
- FIGURE 3 shows a typical process for producing TMP.
- no impregnation stage 12 is provided.
- the chips would be steamed for a longer period of time than in the FIGURES 1 or 2 embodiments, and additionally a further vessel may be provided for the addition of heat in the form of steam or hot liquid. After passing through stages 13 through 21, a TMP is produced.
- FIGURE 4 illustrates in more detail exemplary apparatus that could be utilized to produce CMP according to the present invention.
- the chips are fed to a conventional steaming chips bin 25, and are subsequently metered to the intake for an upright vessel 27.
- vessel 27 countercurrent impregnation and countercurrent washing of the chips takes place.
- Sodium sulfite, or like chemical suitable for the production of CMP is fed from source 28 through heat exchanger 29 to the vessel 27 and introduced at an appropriate point 30.
- the chemical flows upwardly in the vessel 27, countercurrent to the downward flow of chips.
- Pump 31 continuously withdraws chemical from vessel 27 through screens, and reintroduces the chemical adjacent inlet 26 to entrain the chips therein.

- the chips are fed to first pressurized refiner 38, and are mechanically acted on to produce a mechanical pulp.
- the method is practiced so that the pulp typically would have a consistency of about 6-15 percent. Without depressurization or dilution, the pulp is then screened by a screen 39.
- the screen 39 separates pulp portions in need of further refining into a first stream 40, while fibers already having desired properties are separated into a second stream 41.
- First stream 40 may be passed through a cyclone 42, and then to a second pressurized refiner 43, while the second stream 41 is passed directly to the discharge 44 from second refiner 43.
- the mechanical pulp may be passed to a pressurized blow tank 45 for heat recovery and subsequently, again without dilution, pumped by pump 46 to another screen mechanism 47 substantially identical to the screen 39.

Abstract
Description
- The production of mechanical pulps is of increasing interest since a higher yield can be obtained from a given amount of raw material utilizing mechanical pulping processes vis-a-vis chemical pulping processes. Mechanical pulping, in general, refers to thermomechanical pulp (TMP), chemimechanical (CMP) and chemithermomechnical pulp (CTMP). While mechanical pulps can be useful for a number of purposes, oftentimes they cannot be made bright enough for many intended end uses, and their brightness tends to degrade over time. Further, the mechanical refining process utilized as the main component of mechanical pulping processes often results in breakdown of fibers having desirable characteristics so that the final pulp produced has relatively poor drainage properties, and relatively poor strength.
- According to the present invention, a method is provided for enhancing the brightness and/or drainage and strength properties of mechanical pulp, whether it be TMP, CMP, or CTMP.
- According to one aspect of the present invention, TMP, CMP or CTMP is produced by sequentially: (i) Impregnating comminuted fibrous cellulosic material with chemical or thermal treating fluid. (ii) Washing the impregnated material. The washing is preferably accomplished by passing a washing liquid including chelating and surface active agents countercurrent to the flow of material, and is effective to remove a number of materials that subsequently could have an adverse affect on pulp brightness, including residual cooking chemicals, metals, color bodies, and resins. (iii) The washed material is mechanically refined to produce a . mechanical pulp, preferably having a consistency of about 6-15 percent. And, (iv) further treatment, including bleaching with hydrosulfite and/or peroxide, of the mechanical pulp is effected in order to achieve the desired properties.
- According to another aspect of the present invention, a CMP or CTMP pulp is produced by effecting a countercurrent flow of sulfite chemical and comminuted fibrous cellulosic material, to effect impregnation of the material. The material may subsequently be cooked, and thereafter is refined and further treated as described above. The countercurrent impregnation provides very effective penetration of the chips, or other material, with sulfite liquor, and ultimately results in more uniform removal of impurities from the chips in such a way as to improve pulp properties and decrease bleach costs.
- According to yet another aspect of the present invention, a mechanical pulp is produced by series refining. Chips, or like comminuted cellulosic fibrous material, are pretreated, and then passed to a first pressurized refiner. From the first refiner the mechanical pulp passes to a screen, which screens out pulp portions in need of further refining into a first stream, and pulp fibers already having desired properties into a second stream. The first stream is passed to a second pressurized refiner having a discharge, and the second stream is passed directly to the second refiner discharge.
- The mechanical pulp according to the present invention has enhanced strength and drainage, and can be bleached to a higher brightness level than is possible in the prior art, (e.g., 5 Kappa units higher) and may be bleached to any given brightness level more easily.
- It is the primary object of the present invention to provide mechanical pulps having enhanced desired properties. This and other objects of the invention will become clear from an inspection of the detailed description of the invention, and from the appended claims.

- According to the present invention, mechanical pulps, particularly CMP, TMP, and CTMP, are produced so as to maximize drainage and strength properties, enhance brightness, and facilitate ease of bleaching. FIGURE 1 shows the step by step production of CMP according to a method of the present invention, while FIGURES 2 and 3 show methods for the production of CTMP and TMP, respectively, with stages therein identical to those in FIGURE 1 not illustrated.
- With respect to FIGURE 1, hardwood or softwood chips, or other comminuted cellulosic fibrous material, are first steamed at station 11. Then they are subjected to countercurrent impregnation with sulfite (e.g. sodium sulfite) chemical at
station 12, the countercurrent action properly distributing the chemical in the chips. The chemical facilitates removal of water soluble substances and some of the lignin and polysaccharides, although most of the lignin and polysaccharides remain in the material. After impregnation, the chips are subjected to a countercurrent wash atstage 13. The wash liquid preferably includes chelating and surface active agents, such as EDPA and DPTA. The wash effects removal of residual cooking chemicals, metals, color bodies, and resins. The countercurrent impregnation and countercurrent wash atstations - The washed chips are passed from
station 13 to a first pressurized refining stage 14, at which a mechanical refiner acts on the chips to form a mechanical pulp. The pulp at this stage usually has a consistency of about 6-15 percent, and the pulp, at this consistency, is passed to a screening station 15 wherein it is separated into first and second streams 16, 17. The first stream comprises pulp components that require further refining, while the second stream 17 contains pulp portions having fibers with desirable properties so that further refining thereof is not necessary. The first stream 16 is passed to a second pressurizedrefining stage 18 while the second stream 17 is passed directly to thedischarge line 19 from thesecond refiner stage 18. In this way fibers having desired properties are not further broken down, and thus the drainage and strength of the pulp is improved. - The pulp in
discharge line 19, with a consistency of 6-15 percent, is further treated in any manner desirable to produce CMP having the necessary properties. Typically this would include awash station 20 and ableach station 21. During bleaching, hydrosulfite and/or peroxide would be added to the pulp, and the final product produced would be bleached CMP. - For the CTMP process illustrated in FIGURE 2, the only basic difference between it and the CMP process described in FIGURE 1 is the provision of a
cooking stage 23 between theimpregnation stage 12 and thewashing stage 13. The cook, with sulfite, is at suitable temperature and concentration conditions in order to provide the desired effect on the chips to facilitate subsequent refining thereof. CTMP typically has enhanced strength compared to other mechanical pulps - such as TMP, although the yield is slightly lower - and is particularly suited for pulping of high density hardwoods. - FIGURE 3 shows a typical process for producing TMP. In this embodiment no
impregnation stage 12 is provided. Typically, the chips would be steamed for a longer period of time than in the FIGURES 1 or 2 embodiments, and additionally a further vessel may be provided for the addition of heat in the form of steam or hot liquid. After passing throughstages 13 through 21, a TMP is produced. - FIGURE 4 illustrates in more detail exemplary apparatus that could be utilized to produce CMP according to the present invention.
- The chips are fed to a conventional
steaming chips bin 25, and are subsequently metered to the intake for anupright vessel 27. In thevessel 27 countercurrent impregnation and countercurrent washing of the chips takes place. Sodium sulfite, or like chemical suitable for the production of CMP, is fed fromsource 28 throughheat exchanger 29 to thevessel 27 and introduced at anappropriate point 30. The chemical flows upwardly in thevessel 27, countercurrent to the downward flow of chips.Pump 31 continuously withdraws chemical fromvessel 27 through screens, and reintroduces the chemicaladjacent inlet 26 to entrain the chips therein. - At the bottom of the
vessel 27 the countercurrent wash takes place. Fresh washing liquid and chelating and surface active agents are introduced inline 32, and passed countercurrent to the chips flow, the wash liquid continuously being withdrawn from screens adjacent the bottom ofvessel 27 and recirculated bypump 33. Metals, color bodies, and resins displaced by the impregnation and washing steps ultimately find their way toapparatus 34 which effects removal and discharge thereof. - The washed chips pass through line 35 to a conventional drainer 36, and the separated liquid is returned to the
vessel 27 under the influence of pump 37. The chips are fed to first pressurized refiner 38, and are mechanically acted on to produce a mechanical pulp. The method is practiced so that the pulp typically would have a consistency of about 6-15 percent. Without depressurization or dilution, the pulp is then screened by ascreen 39. Thescreen 39 separates pulp portions in need of further refining into afirst stream 40, while fibers already having desired properties are separated into a second stream 41.First stream 40 may be passed through acyclone 42, and then to a secondpressurized refiner 43, while the second stream 41 is passed directly to thedischarge 44 fromsecond refiner 43. - After refining, the mechanical pulp may be passed to a pressurized blow tank 45 for heat recovery and subsequently, again without dilution, pumped by pump 46 to another
screen mechanism 47 substantially identical to thescreen 39. Rejects fromscreen 47 pass to rejectschest 48 and subsequently through thickener 49 and into rejects refiner 50, ultimately to be returned via line 51 to the inlet to screen 47. Accepts fromscreen 47 are pumped bypump 52 to cleaner 53, ultimately are washed in apressure diffuser 54, and are otherwise subsequently treated. For instance the pulp may pass to a highdensity storage tank 55, and then may be simultaneously pumped and degassed bypump 56, passed to a mixer 57 at which hydrosulfite bleaching chemical is introduced, and then is subsequently retained inretention vessel 58, with CMP having enhanced brightness and/or drainage and strength characteristics being produced. - Utilizing the apparatus illustrated in FIGURE 5, a CTMP can be produced. In this figure, components with the identical functionality to the components illustrated in FIGURE 4 are indicated by the same reference numeral only preceded by a "1".
- The chips are fed to a
conventional chips bin 125, and then are steamed in a steamingvessel 60. The chips are entrained with liquid inchute 126 andhigh pressure feeder 61 feeds them to the top ofvessel 62. Sand, and other undesirable components, can be separated out utilizingcomponents 63, 64. - The
upright vessel 62 is designed to impregnate the chips, retain them for a "cook", and wash them. Thevessel 62 is structurally similar to conventional continuous digesters for producing chemical pulp that have impregnation, cooking, and washing zones. Sulfite cooking chemical may be added at any desired point, such as intoline 65, and theheat exchanger 66 heats the chemical to the desired temperature. In thevessel 62 countercurrent impregnation takes place, the chips are retained in a cooking zone for a predetermined period of time, and countercurrent washing takes place at the bottom of thevessel 62, wash liquid being added throughline 67. - The chips slurry discharged from the bottom of the
vessel 62 passes todrainer 136 and firstpressurized refiner 138.Pressurized blow tank 145 is provided afterfirst refiner 138, and the pulp, preferably with a consistency of about 6-15 percent, is pumped bypump 68 to screen 139, with the pulp material in the first stream 140 passing to the secondpressurized refiner 143, and the pulp fibers in thesecond stream 141 being passed directly to thedischarge 144 from the second refiner. The pulp is then introduced intodecker 69, is pumped bypump 70 to the top of pressure diffuser 154 in which it is washed, and is discharged from diffuser 154 into up-flow tower 71. Peroxide bleaching chemical may be added to line 72 and introduced to the pulp in diffuser 154, thetower 71 retaining the pulp and bleaching chemical for a predetermined period of time before it is discharged tosecond decker 73. From there it passes to highdensity storage tank 155 and is pumped bypump 156 tomixer 157 at which point hydrosulfite bleaching chemical is introduced. After retention in up-flow tower 158, the final CTMP is produced. - The apparatus in FIGURE 6 can also be utilized to produce CTMP, and contemplates refining pulp having a much wider concentration range (e.g., about 5-50%). In this FIGURE, components with substantially the same functionality as components illustrated in FIGURE 4 are indicated by the same reference numeral only preceded by a "2".
- After leaving the
vessel 227, the suspension of comminuted fibrous cellulosic material may be dewatered utilizing conventional dewatering apparatus 80 (such as a plug screw feeder or screw press) inline 235. Dewatering apparatus 80 may be used in place of or in addition to,conventional drainer 236. The suspension from dewaterer 80 may have a concentration as high as 50% when it is fed to thefirst refiner 238. The apparatus 80 may be pressurized, or unpressurized, depending upon other apparatus utilized. - Pulp discharged from first refiner 238 - if of high concentration - is diluted utilizing
conventional dilution equipment 81 prior toscreen 239. The discharge fromscreen 239 intoline 240 is preferably pressed utilizingconventional press 82 prior tocyclone 242 so that therefiner 243 also acts upon high concentration pulp (e.g., 16-50%). The discharge from arefiner 243 inline 244 is then again diluted utilizingdilution apparatus 83 so that it has substantially the same concentration as the pulp inline 241, before it is passed to theblow tank 245. - By practicing the present invention, it is possible to produce mechanical pulp that can be bleached to a brightness level substantially greater than prior art mechanical pulps produced utilizing similar treatment chemicals, temperatures, etc. Also, the pulp according to the present invention has improved strength and drainage properties compared to conventional mechanical pulps produced under comparable treatment conditions.
- While the invention has been herein shown and described in what is presently conceived to be the most practical and preferred embodiment thereof, it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that many modifications may be made thereof within the scope of the invention, which scope is to be accorded the broadest interpretation of the appended claims so as to encompass all equivalent methods and products.
