Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for bleaching lignocellulose-containing pulp with a peroxide-containing compound, in which the pulp, prior to the bleaching is subjected to acid treatment at a pH of up to about 5 and thereafter treated with a complexing agent in order to release transition metal ions from their positions in the pulp.
- a magnesium compound and a calcium compound are added to the pulp at a pH of from about 3.5 to about 8 in order to reintroduce an optimum amount of magnesium and calcium ions into the pulp.
- the pulp is thereafter bleached with a peroxide-containing compound at a pH of from about 7 to about 13.
- the pulp is bleached in one or more stages.
- mechanical pulp has been bleached with peroxide-containing compounds in alkaline environment, the intention being to remove chromophoric groups but preserve the lignin content.
- it has become increasingly common to treat also chemical pulp as early as in the first bleaching stages with peroxide-containing compounds in alkaline environment, thereby to remove chromophoric groups as well as lignin. Unless the pulp is pretreated, however, such bleaching is less effective than bleaching with chlorine-containing bleaching agents.
- the prior art teaches the bleaching of chemical as well as mechanical pulp with peroxide-containing compounds in alkaline environment and in the presence of magnesium salts. Most of the known bleaching processes do not comprise any acid pretreatment, which preserves the content of desirable as well as undesirable ions in the pulp.
- EP-A-0 402 335 discloses the pretreatment of chemical pulp with a complexing agent in order to render more effective subsequent alkaline peroxide bleaching. In this process, it is important that the treatment with a complexing agent takes place at an almost neutral pH. Moreover, this process is not suitable for treating pulp containing large amounts of transition metal ions.
- EP-A-0 511 695 discloses acid treatment of a chemical pulp, thereafter adding magnesium and subsequently treating the pulp with alkaline peroxide bleaching.
- EP-A-0 512 590 refers to a bleaching process where the pulp is pretreated with a complexing agent prior to bleaching. However, the document does not disclose an acid treatment prior to the addition of the complexing agent. Furthermore, an addition of magnesium and calcium is not indicated.
- EP-A-0 148 712 discloses a bleaching process where the pulp is bleached in a single step. The document is silent about an acid treatment prior to the bleaching. Additionally, magnesium and calcium are added to the pulp under alkaline conditions.
- EP-A-0402 335 discloses a treatment with a complexing agent before a peroxide bleaching. There is no teaching of the treatment sequence of the present invention. Moreover, an addition of magnesium as well as calcium to the pulp is not mentioned.
- the invention relates to a method in which lignocellulose-containing pulp is treated under the conditions recited in the appended claims, whereby its content of ions having an adverse effect on subsequent alkaline peroxide bleaching is effectively reduced, while at the same time its content of favourable ions is optimised, thereby to obtain a pulp of high strength and brightness with a low consumption of the peroxide-containing compound.
- the invention provides a method for bleaching lignocellulose-containing pulp with a peroxide-containing compound as described in claim 1, in which the pulp, prior to the bleaching is subjected to acid treatment at a pH of up to about 5 and after the acid treatment, a magnesium compound and a calcium compound is added in order to reintroduce magnesium and calcium ions into the pulp, wherein the pulp is dewatered or washed after the acid theatment, whereafter the pulp is treated with a complexing agent, where the treatment with the complexing agent and the addition of the magnesium and calcium compounds takes place in a single stage at a pH of from about 3.5 to about 8, wherein an additional dewatering or washing treatment is performed after the treatment with the complexing agent and the addition of magnesium compound and calcium compound.
- the initial acid treatment combined with the treatment with a complexing agent in accordance with the invention effectively releases all types of metal ions in lignocellulose-containing pulp.
- the thus-released ions can be effectively removed from the pulp suspension. It has therefore been found that the present method effectively reduces the concentration of those ions of transition metals, in particular manganese, copper and iron, that have an adverse effect on the subsequent peroxide bleaching.
- magnesium ions are reintroduced into the pulp prior to bleaching, thereby increasing the brightness and the strength of the pulp while at the same time reducing the lignin content and the consumption of the bleaching agent.
- calcium ions are reintroduced into the pulp, there is achieved a surprising improvement of the final properties of the pulp, especially with respect to brightness and reduction of the kappa number.
- the content and the positions of magnesium as well as calcium ions have to be optimised to attain the synergistic effect enabling effective peroxide bleaching.
- the magnesium and calcium ions have to be added at a pH of from about 3.5 to about 8 in order that the pulp should obtain a sufficient content of these ions.
- the present invention it is possible to obtain a pulp of high brightness, low lignin content and a on the whole preserved pulp strength while consuming a reduced amount of the peroxide-containing compound.
- a pulp of high brightness, low lignin content and a on the whole preserved pulp strength while consuming a reduced amount of the peroxide-containing compound.
- it is often possible to carry out the method while using a comparatively small amount of complexing agent and a simple washing stage before the peroxide bleaching.
- the acid treatment and the addition of magnesium and calcium compound are carried out in this order and essentially within different pH ranges.
- the treatment with a complexing agent and the addition of magnesium and calcium compounds take place in a single stage after the acid treatment.
- the pulp is dewatered or washed and is then bleached with a peroxide-containing compound at an alkaline pH.
- the weight ratio between added Mg and Ca can be from about 1:1 to about 1:4 in order to render effective the alkaline peroxide bleaching.
- the weight ratio of Mg to Ca is from 1:1.2 to 1:3, preferably from 1:1.5 to 1:2.6.
- the amount of magnesium compound charged, as well as the amcunt of calcium compound charged may be up to about 4000 ppm, calculated as alkaline earth metal by weight of dry pulp.
- the amount of both the magnesium compound and the calcium compound is in the range 100-3000 ppm, preferably in the range of 500-2000 ppm.
- the amount of magnesium compound charged, as well as the other conditions is so chosen that the content of magnesium in the pulp before the peroxide bleaching amounts to at least about 50% of the content of magnesium before carrying out of the present method (the original content).
- the amount of magnesium compound charged, as well as the other conditions is so chosen that the content of magnesium in the pulp before the peroxide bleaching is in the range of 100-300% of the original content, preferably in the range of 130-200%.
- the amount of calcium compound charged, as well as the other conditions, is so chosen that the content of calcium in the pulp before the peroxide bleaching amounts to at least about 25% of the original content.
- the amount of calcium compound charged, as well as the other conditions is so chosen that the content of calcium in the pulp before the peroxide bleaching is in the range of 50-150% of the original content, preferably in the range of 65-100%.
- the magnesium-containing compound used is magnesium sulphate, magnesium chloride, magnesium carbonate or magnesium nitrate, preferably magnesium sulphate.
- the calcium-containing compound used is calcium chloride, calcium nitrate, calcium sulphate or calcium carbonate, preferably calcium sulphate. Also compounds containing magnesium and calcium in a suitable ratio may be used, such as dolomite.
- the magnesium and calcium compounds should be in dissolved form when brought into contact with the pulp. This can be obtained in various ways, depending on the type and properties of the pulp, among other things. By combining a suitable pH of from about 3.5 to about 8 with suitable temperatures and concentrations of the magnesium and calcium compounds, these compounds can be brought into dissolved form.
- magnesium or calcium ions can be added to the pulp suspension via the water used e.g. for pH adjustment or dilution.
- hard water containing magnesium or calcium ions, or a combination thereof may advantageously be used for reintroducing these ions into the pulp. Examples of such hard water are fresh water from limestone bedrock, white water from papermaking machines using lime or chalk as filler, and process water from sulphite production using magnesium or calcium as base.
- the present method comprise a dewatering or washing stage after the treatment with the complexing agent and the addition of magnesium and calcium compounds taking place in a single stage.
- undesirable metal ions can be effectively removed before the peroxide bleaching.
- undesirable metal ions are meant not only transition metal ions but also any excess of magnesium and calcium ions.
- the pH in the washing liquid must be at least about 4.
- the pH of the washing liquid is in the range of 5-13, preferably 6-12.
- the acid treatment is performed at a pH of up to about 5, suitably a pH of from 1.5 to 4, and preferably a pH of from 2 to 3.
- pH can be adjusted by adding an acid or an acid liquid to the pulp.
- inorganic mineral acids or residual acid from a chlorine dioxide reactor either separately or in optional mixture.
- an inorganic mineral acid such as sulphuric acid, nitric acid or hydrochloric acid, preferably sulphuric acid.
- Manganese ions in the pulp have an especially adverse effect on alkaline peroxide bleaching. Compounds forming strong complexes with different manganese ions are therefore primarily used as complexing agents. Suitable complexing agents from this point of view are nitrogen-containing organic compounds, primarily nitrogen-containing polycarboxylic acids, nitrogen-containing polyphosphonic acids, and nitrogen-containing polyalcohols. Preferred nitrogen-containing polycarboxylic acids are diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA), ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and nitrilo-triacetic acid (NTA), DTPA and EDTA being especially preferred. Diethylenetriamine pentaphosphonic acid is a preferred nitrogen-containing polyphosphonic acid.
- DTPA diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid
- EDTA ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid
- NTA nitrilo-triacetic acid
- Diethylenetriamine pentaphosphonic acid is a preferred nitrogen-containing poly
- complexing agents such as polycarboxylic acids, suitably oxalic acid, citric acid or tartaric acid, or phosphonic acids.
- organic acids as are formed in the treatment of the pulp with chlorine-free bleaching agents, for example, may also be used as complexing agents.
- the sodium salts of the above complexing agents are preferably used, making the bleach plant a more closed system.
- the amount of complexing agent charged depends on the type and the amount of transition metal ions present in the incoming pulp, as well as on the effectiveness of the acid treatment and the subsequent dewatering or washing stage. Furthermore, the amount also depends on the type of complexing agent and on the conditions prevailing in the treatment with the agent, such as temperature, residence time, and pH. However, the amount of complexing agent charged can be up to about 5 kg/tonne of dry pulp, based on a 100% product. Suitably, this amount is from 0.05 kg to 2.5 kg/tonne of dry pulp, preferably from 0.1 kg to 1 kg/tonne of dry pulp, based on a 100% product. It is especially preferred that the amount of complexing agent is in the range of 0.2-0.6 kg/tonne of dry pulp, based on a 100% product.
- the pH in the pulp suspension before the treatment with the complexing agent and the addition of the magnesium and calcium compounds taking place in a single stage is from about 3.5 to about 8, suitably in the range of 4-7.5, and preferably in the range of 4.5-7. It is especially preferred that the pH is in the range of 5-6.5.
- the pulp Before the acid treatment in the present method, the pulp can be subjected to acid treatment in an additional stage, thereby to obtain a particularly low content of transition metal ions.
- additional treatment may be suitable in alkaline peroxide bleaching of pulp in which the content of transition metal ions is unusually high or in which these ions are difficult to release.
- One such instance is organosolv pulp.
- the acid treatment is performed in the presence of a delignifying chemical which is effective at a pH of up to about 5.
- Suitable delignifying chemicals are ozone, acid hydrogen peroxide, per-acids, such as Caro's acid or peracetic acid, and salts thereof, chlorine dioxide and chlorine.
- ozone, per-acids or salts thereof, or chlorine dioxide are especially preferred.
- chlorine dioxide When chlorine dioxide is used as a delignifying chemical in the present method, it is possible to bleach the pulp to full brightness with an initial chlorine dioxide stage followed by a peroxide stage and still reducing the produced and discharged amount of chlorine containing compounds to an extremely low level.
- the present method optimizes the conditions for an effective peroxide bleaching, whereby a reduced adding of chlorine dioxide can be balanced with an additional, and economically reasonable, adding of peroxide.
- a reduced adding of chlorine dioxide means that the content of chlorine containing compounds in the pulp, which has been bleached, decreases and the possibilities to close the plants increases essentially.
- the present method it is possible to decrease the total amount of chlorine containing compounds in the waste water, from all stages, to less than 5 kg/ton pulp, based on the element chlorine.
- the total amount of chlorine containing compounds in the waste water from all stages will be decreased suitably to less than 3,5 kg/ton pulp and preferably to less than 2 kg/ton pulp, based on elementary chlorine.
- the amount may be from about 0.5 kg to about 30 kg/tonne of dry pulp, suitably from 1 kg to 20 kg/ tonne of dry pulp, and preferably from 1.5 kg to 10 kg/ tonne of dry pulp.
- CF total amount of active chlorine in kg/tonne of dry pulp / kappa number prior to delignification according to the present method.
- 1 kg of chlorine dioxide is equivalent to 2.63 kg of active chlorine.
- the charging factor may be from about 0.1 to about 10, suitably from 0.5 to 5, and preferably from 1 to 3.
- the present method includes a dewatering or washing stage after the acid treatment.
- the pulp is also dewatered or washed after the complexing agent treatment and the addition of the magnesium and calcium compounds taking place in a single stage.
- transition metal ions can be effectively removed prior to the peroxide bleaching.
- the washing liquid may consist of fresh water, optionally with an addition of a pH-adjusting chemical, or white water from one or more bleaching stages or extraction stages, giving a suitable pH in the washing stage.
- the acid treatment, treatment with complexing agent and the addition of magnesium and calcium can be carried out at a temperature of from about 10°C to about 100°C, suitably from 25°C to 90°C, and preferably from 40°C to 80°C, and for a time of from about 1 min to about 600 min, suitably from 5 min to 120 min, and preferably from 10 min to 60 min.
- the pulp concentration may be from about 1 % by weight to about 60% by weight and preferably from 3% by weight to 35% by weight.
- the bleaching with a percxide-containing compound is performed at a pH of from about 7 to about 13, suitably a pH of from 8 to 12, and preferably a pH of from 9 to 11.
- the peroxide-containing compound comprises inorganic peroxide compounds, such as hydrogen peroxide, sodium peroxide and peroxo sulphuric acid (Caro's acid), and organic peroxide compounds, such as peracetic acid and performic acid.
- the peroxide-containing compound suitably consists of hydrogen peroxide or a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and oxygen, and preferably is hydrogen peroxide.
- the pulp may be used as such for making paper. If so desired, the pulp may also be finally bleached to a higher brightness in one or more stages, e.g. by means of hydrogen peroxide, ozone, sodium dithionite or chlorine dioxide.
- Final bleaching can also include alkaline extraction stages which may be fortified by peroxide and/or oxygen.
- lignocellulose-containing pulp pulp containing fibres that have been exposed by known chemical or mechanical treatment, or recycled fibres.
- the lignocellulose-containing pulp consists of chemically digested pulp, preferably chemically digested pulp that has been delignified with oxygen prior to the present method. It is especially preferred that the lignocellulose-containing pulp consists of sulphate pulp of softwood.
- the kappa number, the viscosity and the brightness of the pulp were determined according to the SCAN Standard Methods C 1:77 R, C 15-16:62 and C 11-75:R, respectively.
