Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a procedure for bleaching cellulose pulp derived from hardwood, a bleaching chemical containing chlorine being used in said procedure.
  • Cellulose pulp obtained by sulphate cooking in particular is brown, mainly owing to lignin remaining in the pulp.
  • the present understanding is that this residual lignin is linked to hemicellulose with covalent bonds. Lignin is removed by bleaching, whereby the pulp is rendered usable for high-quality paper and cardboard products.
  • Bleaching is usually accomplished in a multi-stage process in which the pulp is alternately treated with oxidizing, lignin-decomposing chemicals and with chemicals dissolving the substances generated as decomposition products.
  • substances containing chlorine have been used for oxidizing chemicals, such as pure chlorine gas, chlorine dioxide or sodium or potassium hypochlorite, although other types of oxidizing bleaching agents containing no chlorine are also known.
  • alkali solutions have been used for extraction chemicals removing the decomposition products.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to devise a problem solution by which the residual chlorine content of bleached cellulose pulp made of hardwood can be reduced from the present level.
  • the invention is characterized in that the residual chlorine content is lowered by subjecting the pulp to an enzyme treatment.
  • the enzyme treatment may be carried out at an arbitrary stage of the bleaching process.
  • the pulp may be treated with enzyme in connection with one of the oxidizing steps or extraction steps (alkali steps) of the process or between, the respective steps, prior to said bleaching steps, or not until after said steps.
  • the enzyme to be used is advantageously hemicellulase, cellulase, esterase or a mixture of these, and as suitable enzyme products may be mentioned Multi Stamm L 250 and Multi Stamm K.
  • the temperature of the enzyme treatment may be in the range of 10 to 90°C, preferably 40 to 70°C, and pH within the range of 3.0 to 7.5, preferably 4.0 to 6.0.
  • a further object of the invention is the use of enzyme towards reducing the residual chlorine content of bleached cellulose pulp made from hardwood.
  • Suitable enzymes include hemicel lulases, cellulases and esterases or mixtures of these, e.g. the enzyme products Multifect L 250 and Multifect K.
  • Use of the enzyme is implemented, according to the invention, in the manner set forth in the preceding description of the bleaching procedure.
  • enzyme as taught by the invention relates to reduction of the residual chlorine content in bleached cellulose pulp meant to be processed into foodstuff packaging cardboard or paper. This is because the increasingly stricter provisions regarding residual chlorine concern particularly said cardboard and paper brands, which end up as waste for disposal in waste incineration plants, where the chlorine contained in them may, when it burns, produce highly toxic dioxin.
  • Hemicellulases e.g. xylanase 0 to 10- U per kg of mass 1) ⁇ -xylosidase 0 to 20,000 U per kg of mass 2)
  • the enzyme-treated pulp stock batch and the reference batch were next subjected to bleaching, which took place in five consecutive oxidizing and extracting steps.
  • chlorine and chlorine dioxide were used for chemicals
  • sodium hydroxide in the second step sodium hydroxide
  • chlorine dioxide in the third step sodium hydroxide
  • sodium hydroxide in the fourth step sodium hydroxide
  • chlorine dioxide in the fifth step chlorine dioxide.
  • Table lb are presented the total chlorine quantities used in bleaching, and the results of measurement found with the bleached pulp batches.
  • Residual chlorine content (mg/g) 0.845 1.270
  • Bleached birch sulphate pulp was used in this experiment.
  • the pulp had been bleached using for bleaching chemicals in the first step chlorine (90%) and chlorine dioxide (10%), in the second step sodium hydroxide and in the third step oxygen.
  • the bleached pulp was subjected to enzyme treatment under identical conditions, and using the same enzyme, as in Example 1. After treatment, the pulp was washed with water and dried at room temperature. The residual chlorine content was measured both of the enzyme-treat- ed pulp and of the untreated, original bleached sulphate pulp, the result 1.18 being found for the former and 1.56 mg/g for the latter. Thus, the residual chlorine content of bleached pulp could be substantially lowered by means of enzyme treatment.
  • the test demonstrates that the desired result is attained with the invention also in case the cellulose pulp is first bleached and treated with enzyme only thereafter.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé de blanchiment de pâte de cellulose obtenue à partir de bois dur, dans lequel on utilise un produit chimique de blanchiment contenant du chlore. La caractéristique essentielle de l'invention est que l'on réduit la teneur résiduelle en chlore de la pâte blanchie en soumettant ladite pâte à un traitement enzymatique. L'utilisation de l'enzyme active l'élimination à partir de ladite pâte, de substances d'extraction liant le chlore et présentes dans la pâte de bois dur. L'invention concerne en outre l'utilisation d'enzymes permettant de diminuer la teneur résiduelle en chlore de pâte de cellulose blanchie fabriquée à partir de bois dur. On a notamment prévu une pâte de cellulose transformée en carton ou en papier d'emballage de produits alimentaires, dont on se débarrasse habituellement en les brûlant. Une teneur en chlore diminuée réduit le risque de production de dioxine toxique lors de la phase d'incinération.
