Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for bleaching pulps, in particular synthetic fiber pulps, for. Hardwood pulps with starting cap values of 15-1, preferably 4-1, or paper pulps, e.g. Softwood pulp, with initial cap values up to 30, preferably up to 10, using ozone, in which a pulp suspension is at a temperature of 15-80 ° C, preferably 40-70 ° C, and at a pH of 1-8, preferably 2-3 , is brought into contact with an ozone-containing gas with vigorous stirring or mixing, the ozone-containing gas containing 20-300 g / m3, preferably 50-150 g / m3, of ozone and at most 2% by mass, preferably 0.05-0 , 5 mass%, ozone, based on dry cellulose, is used.
  • ozone in which a pulp suspension is at a temperature of 15-80 ° C, preferably 40-70 ° C, and at a pH of 1-8, preferably 2-3 , is brought into contact with an o
  • HC high consistency
  • LC low consistency
  • HC ozone bleaching is carried out at consistencies above 25%, generally 35 - 40%.
  • a method of the type mentioned is known from US Pat. No. 4,080,249.
  • the stirring energy is preferably at most 18 kWh / t cellulose suspension.
  • the size of the bubbles of the ozone-containing gas should not exceed 3 mm.
  • material densities between 1 and 2% are described in all examples, so it is clearly an LC method.
  • the object of the invention is to use the method mentioned at the beginning in the medium consistency range (MC), and of course good results are to be achieved in comparison with LC technology.
  • the pulp suspension has a consistency of 3-20% by mass, preferably 5-20% by mass, in particular 7-15% by mass, and in that the ozone-containing gas contains a Pressure of 1-15 bar, preferably 1.1-10 bar, is introduced into the pulp suspension.
  • the medium consistency range offers the advantage that the reaction vessels can be made smaller in comparison to the LC technology, but that on the other hand no expensive dewatering devices like the HC technology are necessary.
  • the required mixing energy is lower than with LC.
  • the reaction of the ozone with the pulp is more homogeneous than with HC.
  • the cellulose damage - measured by the viscosity and the DP distribution - even at very low kappa values - is significantly less than with HC and at least comparable to LC.
  • the specific ozone consumption (O3 consumption per eliminated kappa point) is significantly lower than with LC.
  • Existing systems are relatively easy to convert: apart from pH-controlled acidification (which would also be required for LC and HC), only an investment in an MC pump and an MC mixer is required. Waste water recirculation and reuse of the reaction waste gases with a residual ozone content is possible, so that the process is environmentally friendly Lich works. Overall, the process is very economical (required mixing energy, amount of ozone used and necessary devices).
  • a further advantage is obtained if the method according to the invention is used as an ozone stage in a multi-stage bleaching process. Because most stages that do not use ozone bleaching (e.g. oxygen bleaching) mostly work in the MC range, the pulp consistency no longer needs to be changed between the individual stages, so that the overall process becomes more economical.
  • ozone bleaching e.g. oxygen bleaching
  • MC pulp can also be successfully treated directly with an ozone-containing gas, provided that this gas is under pressure and at the same time is stirred or mixed vigorously. This eliminates the need to dilute and dewater the pulp suspension as provided for in AT-PS 380 496 (see page 3, lines 19-20 and 35-36).
  • the volume ratio gas: liquid is 1: 0.5-1: 8, preferably 1: 1-1: 6.
  • Cooled compressors preferably water ring pumps, are preferably used to compress the ozone-containing gas.
  • a high-shear mixer is preferably used for vigorous stirring or mixing.
  • High-shear mixers are known and are currently used for a wide variety of applications, for example for the production of dispersions for paints (DE-A 24 06 430) position of PVC resin powder (US-A 3 775 359) and for the production of semi-solid emulsions (US-A-3 635 834). It is also known to use them for cellulose suspensions (JP-A 6 309 9389).
  • a high-shear mixer has plates with elevations that are spaced a certain distance apart. This means that there is no grinding, but an intimate mixing.
  • the process is carried out several times in succession, with an alkaline extraction being carried out in between if necessary.
  • the alkaline extraction can be carried out using oxygen or peroxide. In practice, this multiple procedure can be ensured simply by removing part of the pulp behind the reactor and feeding it back to the high-shear mixer, so that a cycle results.
  • the process is carried out after an oxygen and / or peroxide-enhanced extraction, optionally followed by an alkaline peroxide stage, and / or that a peroxide stage or an alkaline extraction follows.
  • Oxygen can also be used in the peroxide stage.
  • the wastewater filtrate obtained in the treatment with ozone is at least partially supplied to the pulp suspension before it is brought into contact with the ozone-containing gas, the acid required for the desired pH value also being present together with the wastewater filtrate. especially sulfuric acid. Since the wastewater filtrate is acidic, acid can be saved in this way; at the same time the wastewater filtrate is put to good use, so that it does not have to be disposed of or discharged in an environmentally harmful manner.
  • hardwood pulps with initial kappa values of 15 to 1 or from 4 to 1 are subjected to the process according to the invention, kappa values of 12 to 0.5 or 1.5 to 0.5 are achieved.
  • An initial whiteness of 50-80% or 70-80% is increased to at least 65-90% or 75-90%.
  • the molecular weight distribution of synthetic fiber pulps can be determined.
  • the viscosity, DP distribution and reactivity required for the further use of the pulps, measured on the filter value are obtained.
  • FIGS. 1a and 1b show systems which are suitable for carrying out the method according to the invention.
  • pulp feed for ozone bleaching from one of the preceding bleaching stages, such as oxygen and / or peroxide bleaching, with subsequent alkaline extraction.
  • Acidic wastewater filtrate 14 which is obtained at the end of the ozone bleaching stage, is added to the pulp suspension in order to adjust the consistency and to use the residual acid content.
  • a pH-regulating acid addition 2 is carried out, which defines the pH.
  • the pulp suspension is conveyed by an MC pump 3 into an MC mixer 4, which is preferably a high-shear mixer.
  • Gas 7 containing ozone is compressed in a compressor 8 and introduced into the MC mixer 4 under pressure. An intimate, rapid mixing of the suspension and the ozone-containing gas 7 takes place in the MC mixer 4.
  • reaction tube 5 a reactor which is designed as a reaction tube 5.
  • a return 9 in the form of a tube and a pump
  • the pulp suspension is provided in order to subject the pulp suspension to the process according to the invention several times if necessary.
  • FIGS. 1a and 1b The incorporation of the fumigated stock suspension in conventional bleaching towers 10 is shown in FIGS. 1a and 1b. According to the invention, this is not absolutely necessary.
  • the pressurized gas stock suspension with or without throttle 6 is conveyed into the bleaching tower 10, where a subsequent reaction can still take place.
  • the pressure has been released in the area of the material discharge, and the exhaust gas is discharged via an exhaust gas disposal 11.
  • the relaxed pulp suspension is mixed with dilution water 12 and discharged from the bleaching tower 10 to the washing filter 13.
  • the resulting waste water filtrate 14 is fed to the pulp feed 1 via a waste water return line 15.
  • the gassed material suspension coming from the reaction tube 5 is thrown over the throttle 6 passed and then expanded to atmospheric pressure in a degassing device 16.
  • the material is discharged into the bleaching tower 10 also by adding dilution water 12.
  • the low-ozone exhaust gas is also conducted via an exhaust gas disposal system, for example a catalytic or thermal ozone destruction device.
  • the oxygen produced in the waste gas disposal 11 can be used in an oxygen bleaching stage and the excess oxygen can be returned to the ozone generator after corresponding cleaning steps. If the oxygen is not used in an oxygen bleaching stage, it can be completely recycled after the necessary cleaning steps.
  • Waste water and exhaust gas recirculation can also save a lot of energy, especially at high process temperatures.
