Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to a method and system for making a semi-chemical pulp from lignocellulosic material.
  • Semi-chemical pulping processes are known. See, e.g., U.S. Patent No. 4,229,251 to Temler ; U.S. Patent No. 4,073,678 to Hammond et al .
  • Semi-chemical pulping processes have different requirements and different operating conditions than pulping processes involving Lo-Solids ® Cooking, such as those disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,489,363 to Marcoccia et al .
  • NaOH, Na 2 CO 3 , and Na 2 SO 3 may be used separately or in combination or subcombinations. These chemicals may be advantageous because they have a minimum smell and may be regenerated in relatively simple recovery systems typically used for kraft liquor, especially when NaOH and/or Na 2 CO 3 are used. Each chemical or combination thereof may produce its own pulp characteristics from the different types of wood used (e.g., various types of hardwood). Accordingly, the particular combination or subcombination may be selected based on the individual criteria of a producer.
  • Green liquor is produced by combusting kraft black liquor and dissolving the resultant smelt into white liquor.
  • White liquor generally includes a mixture of NaOH and Na 2 S, and green liquor includes those chemicals in addition to the chemicals in the smelt resulting from the combustion of the black liquor.
  • This clogging or coating may be caused by lignin that has precipitated out of solution due to the lower pH at the end of the cook.
  • the pH decrease may result from the consumption of carbonate ion (CO 3 2- ).
  • CO 3 2- carbonate ion
  • certain embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a method for inhibiting fouling of a black liquor extraction screen in a cooking vessel for semi-chemical pulping.
  • the method may comprise the steps of: feeding lignocellulosic material and green liquor to the cooking vessel for semi-chemical pulping; cooking the lignocellulosic material in the cooking vessel for semi-chemical pulping such that some or all lignin is separated from the lignocellulosic material, and wherein lignin is dissolved into a cooking liquor; extracting via an extraction screen black liquor comprising dissolved lignin, wherein the black liquor is formed during the semi-chemical pulping process from the cooking vessel; and adding white liquor or a base to the cooking vessel at or near the extraction screen, such that a pH at or near the extraction screen is elevated and inhibits lignin from adhering to the extraction screen.
  • certain embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a cooking vessel for a process of semi-chemical pulping of lignocellulosic material that inhibits fouling of a black liquor extraction screen in the cooking vessel.
  • the cooking vessel may comprise: a first input conduit to the cooking vessel that carries green liquor; a second input conduit to the cooking vessel that carries lignocellulosic material; a cavity in which lignin is separated from the lignocellulosic material and dissolved into a cooking liquor; an extraction screen connected to an extraction conduit that extracts black liquor comprising dissolved lignin, wherein the black liquor is formed during the semi-chemical pulping process from the cooking vessel; and a third input conduit for delivering white liquor or a base to the cooking vessel at or near the extraction screen, such that a pH at or near the extraction screen is elevated and inhibits lignin from adhering to the extraction screen.
  • certain embodiments of the present invention generally relate to increasing the pH at the end of the cook. This may keep the screens cleaner for a longer period of time.
  • the increased pH may be accomplished by adding white liquor or NaOH (or any other base) through a circulation and/or central pipe at the end of the cook.
  • the pH of the cooking liquor (e.g., black liquor with lignin) at the end of the cook should be 10 or higher, preferable between 10 and 13, and most preferably between 10 and 12.
  • the pH at or near the extraction screen(s) may be elevated when compared with the pH of liquor above the extraction screens. This, in turn, may increase the solubility of the lignin at or near the extraction screen(s).
  • the pH level is raised of a liquid at or near an extraction screen of a vessel in which semi-chemical pulping is performed. In certain embodiments, this may cause an increase in the solubility of lignin and may also decrease the tendency of an extraction screen to clog.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a digester in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a digester in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention.
  • Figure 1 shows a portion of a semi-chemical pulping system 100 that includes a digester 110.
  • the inputs to the digester 110 include a conduit 102, which generally contains at least green liquor and uncooked pulp comprising lignocellulosic material. Conduit 102 (or another conduit) may supply other chemicals, such as, for example, NaOH, Na 2 CO 3 , Na 2 SO 3 , and/or white liquor, to the digester 110.
  • the inputs to the digester 110 also include conduit 108, which supplies white liquor, NaOH (and/or other bases), and/or other agents that may increase the solubility of lignin and/or decrease the likelihood of extraction screen clogging.
  • the pulp is cooked in digester 110, which contains various extraction screens. Though digester 110 may contain various extraction screens at different elevations, extraction screen 112 illustrates where the spent or used liquor (i.e., black liquor) is removed or extracted from the digester 110. Black liquor is extracted via conduit 114, which splits into conduit 116 and conduit 106. The flow content of conduit 116 is mixed with the flow content of conduit 108 (e.g., white liquor and/or NaOH) and recycled back into digester 110 via conduit 118. This recycle loop may facilitate the efficient extraction of lignin in the black liquor while perhaps reducing the amount of white liquor and/or NaOH required.
  • This recycle loop may facilitate the efficient extraction of lignin in the black liquor while perhaps reducing the amount of white liquor and/or NaOH required.
  • the end of conduit 118 is positioned at or near the extraction screen 112.
  • the end of conduit 118 may deliver the contents of conduit 118 in a concentrated location at or near extraction screen 112 or may deliver the contents at or near substantially the entire surface of extraction screen 112 within the digester.
  • the end of conduit 118 may be incorporated into the extraction screen 112.
  • the distance from the addition point to the extraction screen may be such that the pH is increased across substantially the entire surface of the extraction screen so as to inhibit the adherence of lignin to the extraction screen.
  • FIGURE 2 shows a portion of another semi-chemical pulping system 200 that includes a digester 210.
  • the inputs to the digester 210 include conduit 202, which generally contains at least green liquor and uncooked pulp.
  • the conduit 202 may also supply other chemicals, such as, for example, NaOH, Na 2 CO 3 , Na 2 SO 3 , and/or white liquor.
  • the inputs to the digester 210 also include liquor such as white liquor, NaOH (and/or other bases), and/or other agents through the conduit 208 that may increase the solubility of lignin and/or decrease the likelihood of extraction screen clogging.
  • digester 210 which contains various extraction screens. Though digester 210 may contain various extraction screens at different elevations, the extraction screen 212 illustrates where the spent or used liquor (i.e., black liquor) is removed or extracted from the digester 210. In the illustrated embodiment, black liquor is extracted via conduit 206.
  • spent or used liquor i.e., black liquor
  • the liquor supply conduit 208 feeds into and/or through (as illustrated) a center pipe 220 of the digester.
  • the end of liquor supply conduit 208 and/or center pipe 220 is positioned at or near extraction screen 212.
  • the end of liquor supply conduit 208 and/or center pipe 220 may deliver the contents of the liquor supply conduit 208 and/or center pipe 220 in a concentrated location at or near extraction screen 212 or may deliver the contents at or near substantially the entire surface of extraction screen 212.
  • the end of liquor supply conduit 208 and/or center pipe 220 may be incorporated into extraction screen 212.
  • the distance from the addition point to the extraction screen may be such that the pH is increased across substantially the entire surface of the extraction screen so as to inhibit the adherence of lignin to the extraction screen.
