Accordingly, the invention relates to an improved process for the chemical pulping of lignocellulosic material, particularly wood chips, straw, bamboo and bagasse, wherein said lignocellulosic material is subjected to an alkaline nitrate cooking procedure at a pH of 11 to 13,5, preferably pH 12 to 13, which process is characterized in that the pulping is carried out in the presence of an aluminum salt, preferably aluminum sulfate.Accordingly, the invention relates to an improved process for the chemical pulping of lignocellulosic material, particularly wood chips, straw, bamboo and bagasse, wherein said lignocellulosic material is subjected to an alkaline nitrate cooking procedure at a pH of 11 to 13.5, preferably pH 12 to 13, which process is characterized in that the pulping is carried out in the presence of an aluminum salt, preferably aluminum sulfate.
The aluminum salt to be utilized in the present invention should be soluble in the pulping liquor. Aluminum sulfate (alum) is preferred and the commercial products having varying amounts of crystal water (13 to 18 moles of waterper Al2(SO4)3 ) can readily be used. Other suitable aluminum salts are reported in WO 81/00267 incorporated herein by reference.The aluminum salt to be utilized in the present invention should be soluble in the pulping liquor.

Other suitable aluminum salts are reported in WO 81/00267 incorporated in by reference.
With the process of the invention the pulping is carriedout in an alkaline nitrate solution at a pH of 11 to 13,5 , preferably 12 to 13. To reach the basic pH as mentioned above, usual and normally available alkalis and/or earth alkalis can be used, such as caustic soda, potassium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide. Preferably caustic soda is used. The necessary amount is determined by the above stated pH which is to be reached.With the process of the invention the pulping is carriedout in an alkaline nitrate solution at a pH of 11 to 13.5, preferably 12 to 13.

Preferably caustic soda is used. The necessary amount is determined by the above stated pH which is to be reached.
The nitrate ion concentration in the alkaline pulping liquor which is neccessary for achieving the intended ob¬Ject is at least 0.05 percent, generally from 0.1 to 1.0 percent and preferably from 0.1 to 0.5 percent, each by weight of the total pulping liquor. It can be achieved by adding a suitable amount of either nitric acid or nitrate salts, such as sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate or ammonium nitrate to the alkaline pulping liquor.The nitrate ion concentration in the alkaline pulping liquor which is neccessary for achieving the intended ob¬Ject is at least 0.05 percent, generally from 0.1 to 1.0 percent and preferably from 0.1 to 0.5 percent, each by weight of the total pulping liquor. It can be achieved by adding a suitable amount of either nitric acid or nitrate salts, such as sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate or ammonium nitrate to the alkaline pulping liquor.
It is preferred to provide the above stated nitrate ion concentration by the addition of the respective amount of nitric acid to the alkaline pulping liquor. In this case, the aluminum salt, in particular alum, is preferably premixed with the nitric acid before the addition to the pulping liquor. Alternatively, the aluminum salt can be added to the pulping liquor simultaneously with the nitric acid or immediately thereafter, e.g. within a few minutes, but premixing of the nitric acid with the aluminum salt is preferred.It is preferred to provide the above stated nitrate ion concentration by the addition of the respective amount of nitric acid to the alkaline pulping liquor.

The choice of alkali and nitrate source usually is determined by the rate of activity desired, cost, safety and choice of residual chemical ions. Normally the most practical for pulping for paper products will be a combination of NaOH and HNO3.The choice of alkali and nitrate source usually is determined by the rate of activity desired, cost, safety and choice of residual chemical ions. Normally the most practical for pulping for paper products will be a combination of NaOH and HNO 3 .
For obtaining practically desirable results, the amount of alum, as the preferred aluminum salt, used is for example 1 part by weight of alum per 10 parts by weight of HNO3 (100 %). In terms of aluminum concentration this means that about 0.08 parts by weight of aluminum and aluminum ions, respectively, are present for each 10 parts by weight of nitrate (NO3-) .For obtaining practically desirable results, the amount of alum, as the preferred aluminum salt, used is for example 1 part by weight of alum per 10 parts by weight of ENT 3 (100%). In terms of aluminum concentration this means that about 0.08 parts by weight of aluminum and aluminum ions, respectively, are present for each 10 parts by weight of nitrate (NO 3 -).
While it has been noted that there is a minimum amount of aluminum to achieve a remarkable effect, e.g. 0.01 , 0.02 , 0.03 or 0.04 parts by weight of aluminum per each 10 parts of NO3-, there is actually no strict upper limit, and the aluminum concentration could go far beyond 0.08, for example up to 0.10, 0.15, 0.2, or even more each per 10 parts of NO3-. It has been found, however, that with exceeding a certain aluminum level no further advantage as to time reduction is obtained so that higher amounts are not desirable under economic and environmental pollution point of views. Also, sometimes with a very high aluminum concentration the quality of the end product is affected. Thus, the pre ferred ränge of aluminum is from 0.04 to 0.16, more preferably from 0.6 to 0.12 parts by weight of aluminum per each 10 parts by weight of NO3 , a value of about 0.08 giving desirable results in the practice of the process of the invention. The latter value of 0.08 parts by weight of aluminum, in terms of alum (Al2(SO4)3 x 18 H2O) corresponds to 1 part by weight of alum per 10 parts by weight ofWhile it has been noted that there is a minimum amount of aluminum to achieve a remarkable effect, eg 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 or 0.04 parts by weight of aluminum per each 10 parts of NO 3 -, there is actually no strict upper limit, and the aluminum concentration could go far beyond 0.08, for example up to 0.10, 0.15, 0.2, or even more each per 10 parts of NO 3 -.

The alkaline nitrate pulping process of the invention, depending on the lignocellulosic material to be pulped and the planned end use, is carried out at temperatures of up to 100°C, preferably 85 to 100°C, specifically 95 to 99°C, e.g. 96°C for wood Chips, without the appliance of pressure or vacuum being necessary, although pressure or vacuum can be applied for Special purposes, if desired. Pressure can be permitted but temperature should be held close to a maximum of 100°C. Higher temperatures will degrade pulp quality. Depending on the type of fiber to be pulped and the planned end use, pulping time varies from a few minutes to a few hours, e.g. 15 minutes to 4 hours. Pulping time should be selected carefully to optimize subsequent defibration, i.e. pulp quality levels, energy input, and where necessary, as in printing paper pulps, minimal chemical action to maximize pulp brightness and opacity.The alkaline nitrate pulping process of the invention, depending on the lignocellulosic material to be pulped and the planned end use, is carried out at temperatures of up to 100 ° C, preferably 85 to 100 ° C, specifically 95 to 99 ° C, e.g. 96 ° C for wood chips, without the appliance of pressure or vacuum being necessary, although pressure or vacuum can be applied for Special purposes, if desired.

In addition, the present invention has the advantage of reducing pollution problems to a minimum since the formation of gases or odors which affect the environment can be avoided or, even if produced, can be easily controlled and eliminated. The residual pulping liquor can be recycled and made up again to strength with the necessary amounts of the three necessary chemicals (alkali, nitrate and aluminum). After having recycled it 25 times the liquor can be either neutralized and discarded as an effluent (e.g. into thebiologically treated sewage system) or used again, after concentration, in the paper making process as additive to the fiber furnish or burned as in the conventional kraft pulping system. According to the process of the invention the material to be pulped can be passed through an initial impregnation step in water, if desired, at a temperature of 100°C or nearly 100°C, or more expeditiously with steam.
