Definitions
- the invention relates to a press device for compacting paper and / or for removing carrier liquid from wet paper, cardboard or cardboard in the production of paper, cardboard or cardboard.
- the invention relates to a method for operating the press device according to the invention when compacting paper and / or removing carrier liquid from wet paper, cardboard or cardboard in the production of paper, cardboard or cardboard.
- Paper fibers preferably consist of many cellulose chains with many OH groups.
- the strength of the paper produced through intervening water molecules that the Fa ⁇ fibers connect to one another via hydrogen bonds.
- the number of hydrogen bonds can be increased by compression or slight stretching.

- DE 198 36 669 A1 discloses a process for surface pretreatment on solid dry paper.
- the invention has for its object to provide an apparatus and a method to increase the processing speed in papermaking.
- the device-related object is according to the invention, since ⁇ achieved by, a first electrode is arranged that over in or under a pressing area of the press device, at least, which is connected to a high voltage pulse generator, in / on the wet paper, paperboard or cardboard, or in his / its immediate environment a plasma can be generated.
- the molecular structure of the paper surface or of the fibers is changed.
- Treatment with plasma increases the strength of the "sheet" even before the first drying stage.
- the plasma is preferably ⁇ cm at a distance of less than 20, preferably less than 10 cm, preferably less than 5 cm, generated by the still wet paper in the press device.
- a transport roller is prepared as a first electrode.
- ⁇ te preferably in cold plasma of the press apparatus by means of a transport roller more hydrogen bonds are formed than without the plasma treatment in the paper.
- the strength of the paper in the press device therefore increases. Increasing the strength of the Paper reduces the risk of paper tears and thus opens up the possibility of increasing the processing speed of the paper production line.
- At least one second electrode for plasma generation is present. Between the two electrodes, the plasma is generated, preferably as a corona discharge or a gas discharge. Due to this type of arrangement, the paper is guided between the two electrodes and can thus be treated specifically with plasma.
- At least one electrode plate as taltet is advantageously at least one electrode plate as taltet.
- the targeted application of plasma to the paper is increased by one more.
- a further increase in strength is achieved by a means for introducing gas, in particular air or oxygen, preferably pure oxygen or oxygen with beispiels- as inert gas as a carrier gas, between or in the unstoffba ⁇ re near the electrodes.
- gas in particular air or oxygen, preferably pure oxygen or oxygen with crizspiels- as inert gas as a carrier gas, between or in the unstoffba ⁇ re near the electrodes.
- high-voltage pulses having a duration of less than 10 ⁇ s are generated between electrodes to produce the plasma or the gas discharge. The use of high-voltage pulses which have a duration of less than 10 microseconds, has - as will be described later - to be particularly advantageous ago ⁇ issued.
- Radical can, inter alia, bleaching chemical reac tions ⁇ trigger, especially free oxygen 0, especially a hydroxyl radical OH, in particular ozone O 3, as well as free functional groups such as OH groups, COOH groups.
- These functional groups are again instrumental in particular the bond strength of the company ⁇ fibers with each other to increase, thus increasing the tensile strength of the paper increases and thus the Swisssgeschwin ⁇ can be further increased speed.
- this treatment is to be used in a content of Trä ⁇ ger gallkeit of 2% up to about 30%.
- the strength of the paper, and hence the maximum possible operation speed is thus increased already before a Trock ⁇ incineration plant.
- this type of treatment also bleaches the colored substances lying on the surface, for example the adhering lignin or dye residues are oxidatively decolorized.
- Radicals are generated in gas discharges by the fact that high-energy electrons collide with molecules and thereby dissociate or excite them and thus lead to the formation of radicals. In the dissociation, radicals are released immediately, while in the excitation by subsequent radiant transitions UV light is generated, which in turn reacts with and preferably dissociates air and water molecules.
- Be ⁇ range from about 5 eV (electron volts) to> 15 eV
- high electric fields are needed. ⁇ strengthen this high field occur especially at the head of so-called streamers.
- Streamer are discharge channels which are under construction and form due to the applied high external field strengths. A structure of such streamers takes place within less than 10 ns and then passes quickly into a ther ⁇ mical breakdown channel . Since no high-energy electrons are formed in a thermal breakdown channel, it is among other objectives, this thermal
- the pulse duration is significantly shorter than it corresponds to a buildup time of a full breakdown in the respective Medi ⁇ um.
- the distance between the electrodes and the paper and the properties of the paper is advantageously applied to the paper in terms of quality properties.
- the use of such short high voltage pulses has proven to be particularly advantageous, whereas the use of radio frequency (RF) or microwave pulses or high voltage single pulses of more than 10 ⁇ s in duration, as described in WO 2004/101891 A1, far less efficient is. This is probably due to the rapid transition from streamer to atmospheric pressure, especially in the presence of geometric irregularities on the surface of the paper, such as single fibers, where the electric field is greatly exaggerated.
- RF radio frequency
- the paper web or the fiber suspension is located between the electrodes used for the streamer discharge, this is particularly advantageous because the paper or the fiber suspension thereby partially acts as a dielectric barrier.
