Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method in which lignocellulosic material is subjected to a delignifying treatment.
  • lignocellulosic material is meant primarily different lignocellulosic pulps, preferably such pulps as those in which, e.g., wood has been converted to cellulose pulp either completely or partially with the aid of chemicals.
  • the invention is particularly suited for application with chemical cellulose pulps produced in accordance with both alkaline methods and the sulphite method.
  • the invention is preferably applied with unbleached cellulose pulp, the invention may also be applied successfully to cellulose pulp which has previously been bleached and/or treated in some other way, e.g. alkali treated.
  • aqueous lignocellulosic material with a gas containing nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in one or more so-called activation stages prior to one or more delignifying stages it is possible to carry out delignification of the cellulosic material in a highly selective manner to a much greater extent than was previously considered possible without the use of chlorine or chlorine compounds as a delignifying agent.
  • NO2 nitrogen dioxide
  • the activation process is influenced by a number of factors. These factors include pulp consistency, the amount of nitrogen dioxide charged, time and temperature. Different temperature profiles, i.e. different temperatures at different stages of the activation process also influence the end result. In addition, the nitrate content and the hydrogen-ion content during activation also have a decisive significance on the activation process.
  • the need to supply expensive nitrogen dioxide can be drastically reduced by supplying nitrate ions or hydrogen ions to the activation stage.
  • the selectivity in the delignification of the cellulose pulp can also be optimized, by optimizing, inter alia, the aforementioned parameters. This can be utilized to carry out an extremely extensive delignification.
  • the activation process can also be influenced by introducing an oxygen-containing gas, for instance gaseous oxygen.
  • an oxygen-containing gas for instance gaseous oxygen.
  • gaseous oxygen from an environmental aspect it is always advantageous to add gaseous oxygen, since it has been found that when activation is completed the gas will always contain a low proportion of both nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and nitric oxide (NO).
  • NO2 nitrogen dioxide
  • NO nitric oxide
  • the addition of gaseous oxygen during activation of the cellulose pulp will under certain conditions contribute to improved selectivity in the delignification of cellulose pulp.
  • the present invention solves these problems and relates to a method in the manufacture of cellulose pulp, in which aqueous lignocellulosic material is activated with a gas containing nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in at least one stage, subsequent to and/or while adding an oxygen-containing gas to the material, followed by delignification of the lignocellulosic material in at least one step, and in which gas is separated from the lignocellulosic material during and/or subsequent to the activation process.
  • NO2 nitrogen dioxide
  • the method is characterized by controlling the supply of oxygen-containing gas such that the separated gas will contain at least 2 kg nitric oxide (NO) calculated on 1000 kg absolutely dry lignocellulosic material, and by reacting the separated gas in one or more steps with an absorption solution whose original pH-value lies within the range 3-13.5, and recovering the absorption solution subsequent to its reaction with the separated gas and introducing said solution into the lignocellulosic material prior to and/or during the activating process; and by passing the gas purified with the aid of said absorption solution to atmosphere, or to a destruction plant, optionally after further purification of the gas.
  • NO nitric oxide
  • the mixture of lignocellulosic material (hereinafter called cellulose pulp) with water shall be such that during the activation process the pulp consistency will lie within the range of 2-80%, suitably 3-40%, preferably 5-30%.
  • Nitrogen dioxide is introduced to the activating stage either as substantially pure nitrogen dioxide, or is allowed to form immediately before or in the activating reactor, by supplying nitric oxide (NO) and oxygen. Both nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide can be introduced into one and the same cellulose pulp.
  • the term nitrogen dioxide is also meant to include dinitrogen tetroxide (N2O4) and other polymeric forms of nitrogen oxides. One mole of dinitrogen tetroxide is calculated as two moles of nitrogen dioxide. Addition products which include nitric oxide are calculated in the same way as nitric oxide. Thus, dinitrogen trioxide (N2O3) is calculated as one mole of nitric oxide and one mole of nitrogen dioxide.
  • nitrous acid HNO2
  • N2O Dinitrogen oxide
  • the amount of nitrogen oxides charged to the system is adapted, inter alia, according to the lignin content of the cellulose pulp, tolerable attack on the carbohydrates of the pulp, and the desired degreee of delignification. Calculated as monomers, the amount of nitrogen oxides charged is normally from 0.1-2 kilomoles for each 100 kg of lignin in the cellulose pulp.
  • the temperature during the activating process can be chosen relatively freely, e.g. within the range of 20-110°C. If the activating process is carried out in a single stage, the optimum temperature will lie within the range of 50-95°C. When the activating process is divided into two stages, the preferred temperature will lie within the range of 25-40°C in the first stage, whereas the temperature in the second stage will lie within the range of 80-100°C.
  • the time is partly contingent on the temperature. If the pH is very low and the temperature high, it is necessary to choose a short activating period. In other cases, the activating result is normally improved when the activating process is carried out over a long time period.
  • the amount of oxygen charged prior to and/or during the activation of the cellulose pulp shall be kept low. According to one preferred embodiment of the invention no oxygen-containing gas is intentionally charged during the activation of the cellulose pulp. Unless special preventative measures are taken, a certain amount of air will always accompany the cellulose pulp into the activating reactor, and the oxygen contained in the air is often sufficient. In some cases it may even be necessary to reduce the amount of air accompanying the cellulose pulp. Air can be removed by compressing the cellulose pulp prior to introducing the pulp into the activating stage, or by heating and/or evacuating the cellulose pulp. When nitric oxide (NO) is charged as an active nitrogen oxide, oxygen is preferably charged solely in a quantity below the stoichiometric quantity required to oxidize nitric oxide (NO) to nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
  • NO nitric oxide
  • NO2 nitrogen dioxide
  • the gas separated from the activating stage - this gas having a certain lowest content of nitric oxide (NO) - is recovered for treatment.
  • This treatment process comprises at least two phases, namely the introduction of an oxygen-containing gas and the reaction of the gas with an absorption solution.
  • the oxygen addition is normally made first, although it is fully conceivable to carry out both phases in one and the same treatment stage.
  • the amount of oxygen charged shall be from 0.10 to 0.35, preferably 0.20-0.28 mole O2 calculated per mole nitric oxide (NO) in the separated gas.
  • the absorption solution may be any suitable solution having a pH within the range of 3-13.5 and the ability to remove the nitrogen oxides to a very high degree from the separated gas.
  • each of two solutions is used as the absorption solution. It is particularly expedient to use one of the solutions in one absorption stage followed by a second absorption stage in which the other of said solutions is used.
  • One of the solutions may be weakly acid, up to neutral, and comprises waste liquor derived from the activation of the cellulose pulp.
  • the solution may either comprise solely waste liquor of this kind or also a mixture of said waste liquor with some other liquid, e.g. a liquid which increases the pH of the resultant solution.
  • the other solution will have a pH within the range of 7-13.5, and suitably comprises waste liquor derived from the delignification of the cellulose pulp with alkali.
  • a particularly preferred waste liquor is one obtained from an alkaline oxygen-gas bleaching stage, and particularly a waste liquor obtained from an alkaline oxygen bleaching process in which the cellulose pulp has been activated with nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in accordance with the invention.
  • NO2 nitrogen dioxide
  • the pH-values recited in this document refer to measurements made with glass electrodes on samples which were cooled to room temperature (approx. 20°C) in the absence of vaporization. In the case of samples taken during the activation process, the cellulose pulp was separated out prior to determining the pH. When samples were taken at a pulp consistency above 8%, the consistency was brought down to 8% by diluting with pure water, whereafter the cellulose pulp was separated.
  • the pH-values recited with regard to absorption solutions e.g. various waste liquors, relate to cooled undiluted samples.
  • Fig. 1 is a flow sheet describing a first embodiment of the method according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 is a flow sheet describing a preferred second embodiment of the method according to the invention.
  • chemical cellulose pulp e.g. unbleached chemical cellulose pulp
  • a liquor removing apparatus 2 e.g. a press
  • the cellulose pulp may be screened or unscreened, and is normally freed from the major part of the spent digestion liquor accompanying the pulp from the digester.
  • the spent digestion liquor is displaced normally with waste bleaching liquors, e.g. waste liquor deriving from oxygen-gas bleaching stages. It is also possible to use for this purpose a given quantity of waste liquor deriving from the activating process.
  • the pulp consistency is normally low (one or a few %) when the pulp is introduced into the press 2.
  • the pulp consistency is increased in the press 2, e.g. to 30% and above.
  • Liquor pressed from the cellulose pulp is carried away through a conduit 3 and used, for instance, to wash and/or dilute unbleached pulp.
  • the cellulose pulp is passed to a diluting plant 5, through a conduit 4.
  • the conduit 4 may be replaced with a chute, or a feed screw.
  • the consistency of the pulp is lowered in the plant 5 to, e.g. 5%.
  • the cellulose pulp is then passed through a conduit 6 (e.g. with the aid of a pump) to a mixer 7.
  • a nitrogen oxide, e.g. nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is supplied through a conduit 8. Desired temperature during the activating process is normally obtained by injecting steam into the cellulose pulp flow.
  • the cellulose pulp is then caused to pass upstream through an activating reactor 9.
  • the temperature at which activation is permitted to take place is dependent on a number of other parameters, although in the case of this embodiment of the invention the temperature used will normally lie within the range of 50-95°C. Temperatures of approx. 90°C are particularly applicable in the case of the illustrated single-stage method, with regard to activation.
  • the height of the reactor 9 and the rate at which pulp passes through the reactor are determined by the residence time (the treatment time). The residence time is normally from 60-360 minutes. Residence times of 180 minutes have been found to give good results at temperatures of approx. 90°C.
  • a gas containing nitric oxide (NO) is separated from the cellulose pulp suspension at the top of the reactor 9.
  • the gas is passed to an oxidation reactor 11, through a conduit 10.
  • the gas, which contains inter alia nitric oxide (NO) is reacted in the reactor with an oxygen-containing gas, preferably oxygen gas, which is supplied through a conduit 12.
  • the amount of oxygen charged is suitably from 0.10-0.35 mole O2 calculated per mole nitric oxide (NO) in the gas transferred to the reactor 11.
  • the cellulose pulp will normally have a pH within the range of 5-12. A pH within the range of 5.5-8 is preferred. Subsequent to introducing nitrogen oxide into the pulp the pH falls, and it has been found that the pH of the cellulose pulp during the final stage of the activating process and thereafter should lie within the range of 1.5-4.5. Particularly good results have been achieved with a final pH of 1.8-2.8. Suitable low pH-values can be obtained in several ways.
  • a suitably low pH can be obtained by adding nitric acid or some other acid, preferably a strong mineral acid.
  • nitric acid or some other acid preferably a strong mineral acid.
  • oxygen gas e.g. 0.5-2 kg for each 1000 kg of lignin accompanying the cellulose pulp can also be used to lower the pH.
  • the cellulose pulp leaves the reactor 9 through the top of the reactor and is passed to a liquor-separating apparatus 14, through a conduit 13.
  • This apparatus may have the form of a press by means of which a considerable part of the activating liquor can be removed from the cellulose pulp. Instead of pressing the waste liquor from the cellulose pulp, the liquor can be displaced from the pulp with the aid of a liquid, preferably re-cycled activating waste liquor and/or fresh water.
  • the displacing liquid may also contain waste bleaching liquor, e.g. waste liquor derived from an oxygen-gas bleaching stage.
  • the waste liquor is carried away through a conduit 15 and passed to the diluting apparatus 5 and/or to the cellulose pulp at a position upstream of said plant.
  • the cellulose pulp is then passed to the impregnating plant 16, in which alkali in some form or another, e.g. sodium hydroxide, is charged to the pulp. If oxygen-gas bleaching waste liquor has not already been charged to the cellulose pulp, it is suitable to introduce such liquor into the pulp, preferably in conjunction with adding a magnesium salt.
  • the cellulose pulp is passed through a conduit 17 to an intensive mixer 18, to which oxygen gas is supplied through a conduit 19.
  • the oxygen gas disperses in finely divided form throughout the cellulose pulp suspension, the consistency of which suitably lies within the range of 5-10%.
  • the suspension passes upstream through an oxygen-gas bleaching reactor 20.
  • the oxygen-gas pressure at the bottom of the reactor 20 is, to some extent, determined by the height of the reactor.
  • the pressure of the oxygen gas supplied can be selected freely, meaning that the oxygen-gas pressure at the top of the reactor 20 is equal to atmospheric pressure or higher than atmospheric pressure. It is also conceivable to use a pulp consistency greater than 10% during the oxygen-gas bleaching stage, implying so-called high-consistency oxygen-gas bleaching.
  • the cellulose pulp is then passed through a conduit 21 to a liquor separating plant 22, in which the cellulose pulp is freed from oxygen-gas bleaching waste-liquor in a known manner, e.g. by pressing and/or washing.
  • the cellulose pulp leaves the plant through a conduit 23, for further treatment.
  • a certain amount of the waste oxygen-bleaching liquor is transported through a conduit 25, with the aid of a pump 24, to the top of a gas absorption plant (scrubber) 26.
  • the waste oxygen-gas bleaching liquor normally has a pH within the range of 9-12.
  • Gas taken from the oxidation reactor 11 is passed to the bottom of the scrubber 26 through a conduit 27.
  • Contact between the gas and the absorption liquid frees the gas from the major part of its nitrogen-oxide content.
  • the treated gas may be discharged to atmosphere through a conduit 28. This is not to be preferred. Instead, and alternatively, the gas is transported to a soda recovery unit in which, inter alia, cooking waste liquor is combusted. In those cases when the requirements placed on the environment are very high, it may be necessary to further purify the gas in the conduit 28 prior to discharging the gas to atmosphere or introducing the gas into the soda recovery unit.
  • the absorption liquid which contains several nitrogen compounds, is removed from the scrubber 26 through the bottom thereof, and is transported to the diluting plant 5, through a conduit 29.
  • a larger or smaller amount of the absorption liquid can also be used for other purposes. It is preferred, however, to introduce the absorption liquid into the cellulose pulp at a position upstream of the activating reactor 9, so as to use the nitrogen compounds present during the activating process.
  • part of the gas flow in conduit 10 and/or conduit 27 can be returned to the activating reactor 9. Furthermore, it is preferred to recycle to the activating reactor 9 part of the gas carried through the conduit 28. Oxygen can be supplied to said gas flow, during passage of the flow to the reactor 9. Furthermore, part of the absorption solution at the bottom of the scrubber 26 can be cycled back to the scrubber, and preferably to one or more locations along the outer shell of the scrubber in the vertical extension thereof.
  • Chemical cellulose pulp is transported through a conduit 30 to a liquor removal apparatus 31. Liquor extracted from the cellulose pulp is carried away through a conduit 32. The cellulose pulp is transported through a conduit 33 to a diluting plant 34. The cellulose pulp is then transported through a conduit 35 to a mixer 36, in which the cellulose pulp is brought into contact with nitric oxide (NO) and oxygen (O2) via a conduit 37.
  • NO nitric oxide
  • O2 oxygen
  • the activating process is divided into two stages with intermediate dilution of the pulp suspension.
  • Cellulose pulp having a consistency of e.g. 10-15% is passed upstream through a first activating reactor 38.
  • the temperature in this stage is advantageously comparatively low and the time comparatively short. For example, a temperature of 35°C and time of 20 minutes can be used.
  • the cellulose pulp is then transported through a conduit 39 to a diluting arrangement 40, in which the cellulose pulp is thinned, e.g. to a consistency of 4-9%.
  • the cellulose pulp is then transported through a conduit 41 to a second activating reactor 42.
  • This second activating stage shall be carried out at a high temperature (e.g.
  • This second treatment stage can be referred to as the ripening stage.
  • the cellulose pulp is then conducted through a conduit 43 to a gas separator 44, e.g. a cyclone separator.
  • the nitrogen-oxide containing gas separated from the cellulose pulp suspension is passed through a conduit 45 to an oxidation reactor 46, to which there is connected a conduit 47 for supplying oxygen gas to the reactor.
  • the cellulose pulp is transported to a liquor separating plant 49, through a conduit 48.
  • the cellulose pulp is then impregnated in a plant 50 with alkali, e.g. in the form of sodium hydroxide, necessary for oxygen-gas bleaching, and optionally a protector, e.g. in the form of a magnesium salt.
  • Waste oxygen-gas bleaching liquor may also be supplied to the cellulose pulp at positions 49 and 50.
  • the cellulose pulp is then transported through a conduit 52 to an intensive mixer 51, to which oxygen gas under overpressure is supplied through a conduit 53.
  • the cellulose pulp is then caused to pass upstream through an oxygen-gas bleaching reactor 54.
  • the temperature and time are not critical, and these parameters, together with oxygen-gas pressure and alkali charge can be selected in accordance with conventional techniques.
  • the cellulose pulp is transported from the oxygen-gas bleaching reactor 54 through a conduit 55 to a liquor separating plant 56. Subsequent to extracting waste oxygen-gas bleaching liquor from the cellulose pulp, the pulp is transported through a conduit 57 to some further treatment location, e.g. one or more final bleaching stages.
  • Part of the waste oxygen-gas bleaching liquor, which has a pH of 9-12, is transported, with the aid of a pump 58, through a conduit 59 to the top of a first gas absorption plant 60 (scrubber).
  • the liquid is finely divided in a known manner, e.g. with the aid of spray nozzles, or is caused to pass through the scrubber in the form of a thin liquid film on solid packing bodies arranged in the scrubber, e.g. saddle packing bodies or so-called Raschig rings.
  • the gas is transported from the oxidation plant 46 through a conduit 61 to the bottom of a scrubber 60.
  • Purified gas is removed from the scrubber 60 and passed through a conduit 62 to the bottom of a second gas absorption plant 63 (scrubber). Further oxygen is supplied through a conduit 64, which is connected to the conduit 62.
  • An advantage is gained when part of the gas flowing through the conduit 62 is removed at a location immediately upstream of the connecting conduit 64 or downstream thereof and returned to one (or both) of the activating reactors 38 and 42, through a conduit herefor.
  • Absorption liquid is passed through a conduit 65 from the liquor separating plant 49 to the top of the scrubber 63. This liquid has a pH which lies within the range 3.5-6.5.
