Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for the production of bleached wood particles and a process for the production of pale to white wood-base materials which are produced from the bleached wood particles.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von gebleichten Holzpartikeln sowie ein Verfahren zur Herstellung heller bis weißer Holzwerkstoffe, die aus den gebleichten Holzpartikeln hergestellt sind.The present invention relates to a process for producing bleached wood particles and to a process for producing light to white wood materials made from the bleached wood particles.

Im Bereich der Holzwerkstoffe ist der Markt an so genannten mitteldichten Faserplatten (Medium density fibreboard, MDF-Platten) und hoch verdichteten Faserplatten (high density fibreboard, HDF-Platten) stark im Anstieg begriffen. Die Produktionsmengen haben sich in den letzten zehn Jahren mehr als verdreifacht.In the field of wood-based panels, the market for medium density fibreboard (MDF) and high density fibreboard (HDF) is growing rapidly. The production volumes have more than tripled in the last ten years.

MDF- und HDF-Platten können wie herkömmliche Spanplatten verarbeitet werden. Durch ihren gleichmäßigen Aufbau sind sie aber auch zur Herstellung von profilierten Teilen geeignet und setzen sich deshalb verstärkt im Möbelbau durch. So werden beispielsweise Einrichtungsgegenstände für Räume und für dekorative Zwecke (z.B. im Messebau), aber auch schon höherwertige Möbel aus diesen Platten gefertigt und anschließend, um die holzartige Struktur sichtbar zu erhalten, nur noch farblos lackiert oder mit Overlay beschichtet.MDF and HDF boards can be processed like conventional chipboard. Due to their uniform structure, they are also suitable for the production of profiled parts and are therefore becoming increasingly popular in furniture construction. Thus, for example, furnishings for rooms and for decorative purposes (for example, in trade fair construction), but also higher-quality furniture made from these plates and then, in order to preserve the wood-like structure visible, only colorless or coated with overlay.

Naturgemäß besitzen diese Platten, je nach verwendeter Holzart, eine mehr oder weniger ausgeprägte braune Färbung, die für eine Anwendung im Möbelbereich nur von geringem ästhetischem Wert ist.Naturally, these boards, depending on the type of wood used, a more or less pronounced brown color, which is of little aesthetic value for an application in the furniture sector.

Durch Massefärbung mit den aus der WO-A 04/35276 bekannten Pigment und Farbstoff enthaltenden Farbmittelzubereitungen kann die Eigenfärbung der Holzfasern kompensiert werden. Auf diese Weise sind bunte, vollständig durchgefärbte, lichtechte und damit ästhetisch hochwertige MDF-Platten zu erhalten, die zur Herstellung langlebiger Artikel, z.B. von Möbeln für den Wohnbereich, geeignet sind.By mass coloring with those from the WO-A 04/35276 known pigment and dye-containing colorant preparations can be compensated for the inherent color of the wood fibers. In this way, colorful, completely colored, lightfast and therefore aesthetically high-quality MDF boards are obtained, which are suitable for the production of durable articles, for example of furniture for the living area.

Für die Herstellung von Möbeln und Innendekorationsobjekten, z.B. für Küche oder Bad sind helle oder gar weiße Holzwerkstoffe, insbesondere Holzwerkstoffplatten von besonderem Interesse.For the manufacture of furniture and interior decoration objects, e.g. for kitchen or bathroom light or even white wood materials, especially wood-based panels are of particular interest.

In der WO 2006/042651 werden helle bis weiße Holzwerkstoffplatten beschrieben, deren helle Eigenfarbe durch die Verwendung von gebleichten Holzfasern sowie gegebenenfalls dem Zusatz eines Weißpigments und/oder eines optischen Aufhellers erreicht wird. Bei der chemischen Bleiche werden die färbenden Inhaltsstoffe der Holzpartikel durch oxidierende und/oder reduzierende Chemikalien zerstört oder unwirksam gemacht. Die Holzfasern werden üblicherweise in Bleichtürmen im Gegenstrom oder bei der Verarbeitung der üblicherweise als Rohstoff eingesetzten Holzhackschnitzel im Vorerwärmer oder im Kocher gebleicht. Die plastifizierten Holzhackschnitzel werden im Anschluss im Refiner zerfasert und die Fasern über die sogenannte Blowline aus dem Refiner ausgeführt. Als Bleichmittel werden sowohl oxidativ wirkende Substanzen wie Wasserstoffperoxid und Salze anorganischer und organischer Persäuren (zum Beispiel Percarbonat) verwendet als auch reduktiv wirkende Substanzen wie Sulfinsäuren, Sulfite und Dithionite.In the WO 2006/042651 Light to white wood-based panels are described, the light inherent color is achieved by the use of bleached wood fibers and optionally the addition of a white pigment and / or an optical brightener. In the chemical bleaching, the coloring constituents of the wood particles are destroyed or rendered ineffective by oxidizing and / or reducing chemicals. The wood fibers are usually bleached in bleach towers in countercurrent or during the processing of the wood chips usually used as raw material in the preheater or in the digester. The plasticized woodchips are subsequently defibrated in the refiner and the fibers are blown out of the refiner via the so-called blowline. As a bleaching agent both oxidatively acting substances such as hydrogen peroxide and salts of inorganic and organic peracids (for example, percarbonate) are used as well as reductive substances such as sulfinic acids, sulfites and dithionites.

Das Bleichen der Holzfasern in Bleichtürmen ist ein zusätzlicher Prozessschritt bei deren Herstellung, der den apparativen Aufwand erhöht. Es ist deshalb sinnvoll, das Bleichen der Holzfasern in den Prozess ihrer Herstellung zu verlegen, wie dies in der WO 2006/042651 A1 beschrieben wird. Allerdings müssen die Bleichmittel sorgfältig ausgewählt werden, da in den Prozess eingebrachten Bleichmittel sowie ihre Reaktions- und Abbauprodukte im Allgemeinen auf den Holzfasern und den daraus hergestellten Produktschritten verbleiben. Um in bereits bestehenden Anlagen zur Herstellung von Holzfasern eingesetzt werden zu können, müssen die Bleichmittel besonders geeignet sein, sie müssen entsprechende Stabilitäten, Redoxpotentiale und Reaktionszeiten aufweisen. Sie sollten zudem keine nachteiligen Folgereaktionen eingehen.The bleaching of the wood fibers in bleaching towers is an additional process step in their production, which increases the expenditure on equipment. It is therefore useful to lay the bleaching of wood fibers in the process of their production, as in the WO 2006/042651 A1 is described. However, the bleaching agents must be carefully selected since bleaches incorporated in the process, as well as their reaction and degradation products, generally remain on the wood fibers and the product steps made therefrom. To be able to be used in existing plants for the production of wood fibers, the bleaching agents must be particularly suitable, they must have appropriate stabilities, redox potentials and reaction times. You should also take any adverse consequences.

So ist beispielsweise Wasserstoffperoxid als Bleichmittel ungeeignet, da im Alkalischen gearbeitet werden muss, dies führt zum Quellen der Holzfaser und späterem Vergilben, was in den Endprodukten unerwünscht ist. Sauerstoff und Ozon werden zwar bei der Bleiche von Zellstoff eingesetzt, das Bleichen von Lignin-haltigem Holz erfordert jedoch lange Reaktionszeiten. Sulfite und viele organische Bleichmittel haben unter den vorgegebenen Bedingungen zu geringe Redoxpotentiale, sind in diesem Fall also als Bleichmittel zu schwach. Natriumdithionit hingegen ist zwar hochreaktiv, zersetzt sich jedoch bei Temperaturen oberhalb von 80 bis 100 °C. Die dabei entstehenden und in den Holzfasern verbleibenden Abbauprodukte sind beispielsweise Schwefelwasserstoff und Thiosulfat, die sich im Endprodukt als unangenehmer Geruch bemerkbar machen.For example, hydrogen peroxide is unsuitable as a bleaching agent because it must be worked in alkaline, leading to swelling of the wood fiber and later yellowing, which is undesirable in the final products. Although oxygen and ozone are used in the bleaching of pulp, bleaching of lignin-containing wood requires long reaction times. Sulphites and many organic bleaches have under the given conditions too low redox potentials, are in this case too weak as a bleaching agent. While sodium dithionite is highly reactive, it decomposes at temperatures above 80 to 100 ° C. The resulting and remaining in the wood fibers degradation products include hydrogen sulfide and thiosulfate, which are noticeable in the final product as an unpleasant odor.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist daher ein alternatives Verfahren zum Herstellen von gebleichten Holzpartikeln, bei dem weder unerwünschte oder nachteilig wirkende, aus dem Bleichmittel stammende Verbindungen auf oder in den Holzpartikeln zurückbleiben, mit dem eine gute Bleichwirkung erzielt wird und das ohne großen apparativen Aufwand in bestehende Prozesse zur Herstellung von Holzfasern integriert werden kann.The object of the present invention is therefore an alternative process for producing bleached wood particles, in which neither unwanted or disadvantageous compounds originating from the bleaching agent remain on or in the wood particles, with which a good bleaching action is achieved and which does not require extensive apparatus Processes for the production of wood fibers can be integrated.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von gebleichten Holzpartikeln gemäß dem vorliegenden Anspruch 1.The object is achieved by a method for producing bleached wood particles according to the present claim 1.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform werden die Holzpartikel in Schritt b) über eine Blowline ausgeführt.In a preferred embodiment, the wood particles are carried out in step b) via a blowline.

In einer ebenfalls bevorzugten Ausführungsform werden die zerkleinerten, cellulosehaltigen Rohstoffe in einem Kocher vorbehandelt, bevor sie in Schritt a) des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens eingesetzt werden.In a likewise preferred embodiment, the comminuted, cellulose-containing raw materials are pretreated in a digester before they are used in step a) of the process according to the invention.

Weiterhin wurde ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von hellen bis weißen Holzwerkstoffen gemäß dem vorliegenden Anspruch 6 gefunden.Furthermore, a process for the preparation of light to white wood materials according to the present claim 6 has been found.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform werden die Holzpartikel in Schritt b) über eine Blowline ausgeführt.In a preferred embodiment, the wood particles are carried out in step b) via a blowline.

In einer ebenfalls bevorzugten Ausführungsform werden die zerkleinerten, cellulosehaltigen Rohstoffe in einem Kocher vorbehandelt, bevor sie in Schritt a) des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens eingesetzt werden.In a likewise preferred embodiment, the comminuted, cellulose-containing raw materials are pretreated in a digester before they are used in step a) of the process according to the invention.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Herstellung von gebleichten Holzpartikeln lässt sich in bestehende Prozesse zur Herstellung von Holzpartikeln ohne großen apparativen Aufwand eingliedern. Die erfindungsgemäß einzusetzenden Bleichmittelzusammensetzungen besitzen den großen Vorteil, im Refiner beziehungsweise in der Blowline nicht vorzeitig abgebaut zu werden und trotz der sehr kurzen bis kurzen Verweilzeiten der Holzpartikel, die beim Refiner im Bereich von Millisekunden und bei der Blowline im Bereich von Minuten liegen, eine sehr gute bis gute Bleichwirkung zu entfalten, ohne dabei nachteilige oder sogar schädliche Verbindungen auf oder in den Holzpartikeln zurückzulassen.The process according to the invention for the production of bleached wood particles can be incorporated into existing processes for the production of wood particles without great expenditure on apparatus. The bleach compositions to be used according to the invention have the great advantage of not being broken down prematurely in the refiner or in the blowline and, despite the very short to short residence times of the wood particles, which are in the range of minutes in the case of the refiner in the range of milliseconds and in the blowline To develop good to good bleaching effect, without leaving behind harmful or even harmful compounds on or in the wood particles.

Wenn der gleiche Rohstoff für die Holzpartikel eingesetzten wird, weisen die nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren hergestellten Holzwerkstoffe im Vergleich zu Holzwerkstoffen, die aus im Kocher oder Vorerwärmer gebleichten Holzpartikeln hergestellt wurden, überraschenderweise eine größere Helligkeit auf.When the same raw material is used for the wood particles, the wood materials produced by the process according to the invention surprisingly have a greater brightness compared to wood materials produced from wood particles bleached in the digester or preheater.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist die Herstellung der Holzwerkstoffe im direkten Anschluss an die erfindungsgemäße Herstellung der gebleichten Holzpartikel, da hier ohne weiteren apparativen Aufwand helle bis weiße Holzwerkstoffe erhalten werden.Particularly advantageous is the production of wood-based materials in direct connection to the inventive production of bleached wood particles, since light to white wood materials are obtained without further equipment expense.

Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung werden unter "Holzpartikel" kleinteilige, cellulosehaltige Partikel verstanden. Dazu zählen beispielsweise Fasern und Späne aus Holz und anderen cellulosehaltigen Materialien. Als Basismaterial für die erfindungsgemäßen Holzpartikel und Holzwerkstoffe können im Prinzip alle aus Pflanzen zu gewinnenden faserigen Materialien dienen. So wird üblicherweise Holz als Rohstoff eingesetzt, jedoch können auch aus Palmen sowie aus einjährigen Pflanzen wie Begasse oder Stroh geeignete cellulosehaltige Partikel gewonnen werden. Eine weitere Quelle stellen landwirtschaftliche Abfallprodukte dar. Bevorzugte Basismaterialien sind helle Holzarten, insbesondere Fichte oder Kiefer, jedoch können auch dunklere Holzarten wie Buche oder Eukalyptus verwendet werden.In the context of the present invention, "wood particles" are understood to mean small-particle, cellulose-containing particles. These include, for example, fibers and chips made of wood and other cellulosic materials. In principle, all fibrous materials to be obtained from plants can serve as the base material for the wood particles and wood materials according to the invention. For example, wood is usually used as a raw material, but it is also possible to obtain suitable cellulosic particles from palms as well as from annual plants such as begasse or straw. Another source is agricultural waste products. Preferred base materials are light wood species, especially spruce or pine, but darker woods such as beech or eucalyptus can also be used.

Die cellulosehaltigen Rohstoffe werden zunächst zerkleinert und gegebenenfalls gewaschen. Daran kann sich gegebenenfalls eine Vorbehandlung anschließen. Holz wird beispielsweise zunächst klein zerhackt, gewaschen und die wasserfeuchten Holzstücke (Hackschnitzel) zunächst vorgewärmt.The cellulose-containing raw materials are first comminuted and optionally washed. This may possibly be followed by a pretreatment. For example, wood is first chopped up, washed and the water-moist pieces of wood (wood chips) preheated first.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens werden die zerkleinerten, cellulosehaltigen Rohstoffe in einem sogenannten Kocher vorbehandelt. Üblicherweise wird dies bei einem Druck von 2 bis 5 bar und einer Temperatur von 100 bis 180 °C durchgeführt. Die genauen Temperaturen und Drücke hängen von den jeweils eingesetzten Rohstoffen ab. Zum Aufschluss von Einjahrespflanzen reichen üblicherweise niedrigere Temperaturen aus als beim Aufschluss von Mehrjahrespflanzen wie Holz.In a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, the comminuted, cellulosic raw materials are pretreated in a so-called digester. Usually, this is carried out at a pressure of 2 to 5 bar and a temperature of 100 to 180 ° C. The exact temperatures and pressures depend on the raw materials used. Lower annual temperatures are usually lower enough for digestion of annual plants than for the digestion of multi-annual plants such as wood.

In Schritt a) werden die gegebenenfalls vorbehandelten, zerkleinerten, cellulosehaltigen Rohstoffe in einen sogenannten Refiner überführt und dort zu Holzpartikeln zermahlen. Ein Refiner ist üblicherweise ein Mahlaggregat mit rotierenden und gegebenenfalls feststehenden Messern/Scheiben zur Mahlung von Faserstoffen und besteht vorzugsweise aus zwei mit radialem Relief versehenen Metallscheiben, die sich dicht aneinander befinden. Von diesen beiden Scheiben kann sich eine bewegen, es können sich aber auch beide in entgegengesetzem Sinn drehen. Üblicherweise wird im Refiner mit Überdruck gearbeitet. Das Zermahlen der gegebenenfalls vorbehandelten, zerkleinerten, cellulosehaltigen Rohstoffe kann auch in anderen, für diesen Zweck geeigneten Vorrichtungen durchgeführt werden.In step a), the optionally pretreated, comminuted, cellulose-containing raw materials are transferred to a so-called refiner and ground there to form wood particles. A refiner is usually a grinding unit with rotating and possibly fixed knives / discs for grinding fibrous materials and preferably consists of two radially-provided with metal discs which are close to each other. One of these two discs can move, but both can rotate in opposite directions. Usually, the refiner works with overpressure. The grinding of optionally pretreated, comminuted, cellulose-containing raw materials can also be carried out in other devices suitable for this purpose.

In Schritt b) werden die Holzpartikel aus dem Refiner ausgeführt. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung werden die Holzpartikel dabei aus dem Refiner durch eine sogenannte Blowline hinausgeblasen. Unter einer Blowline wird üblicherweise eine Blasleitung verstanden, durch die die Holzpartikel durch den im Refiner herrschenden Überdruck ausgeführt werden.In step b) the wood particles are carried out of the refiner. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the wood particles are blown out of the refiner by a so-called blowline. Under a blowline is usually understood a blow pipe, through which the wood particles are carried out by the pressure prevailing in the refiner overpressure.

Erfindungsgemäß werden die Holzpartikel im Refiner oder beim Ausführen der Holzpartikel aus dem Refiner durch Zugabe einer mindestens ein Bleichmittel enthaltenden Bleichmittelzusammensetzung gebleicht. Werden die Holzpartikel gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform über eine Blowline ausgeführt, kann die Zugabe der Bleichmittelzusammensetzung im Refiner oder in der Blowline stattfinden.According to the invention, the wood particles are bleached in the refiner or when the wood particles are removed from the refiner by adding a bleach composition containing at least one bleach. If the wood particles are carried out via a blowline according to a preferred embodiment, the addition of the bleaching composition can take place in the refiner or in the blowline.

Erfindungsgemäß werden die Holzpartikel reduktiv gebleicht. Für die reduktive Bleiche sind zum Beispiel reduzierende Schwefelverbindungen wie Dithionite, Disulfite, Sulfite beziehungsweise Schwefeldioxid, Sulfinsäuren und deren Salze, insbesondere die Alkalimetallsalze und vor allem die Natriumsalze und Hydroxycarbonsäuren wie Zitronensäure und Äpfelsäure geeignet. Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung werden Bleichmittelzusammensetzungen eingesetzt, die mindestens ein Bleichmittel ausgewählt aus der Gruppe der stabilisierten Sulfite und der Sulfinsäuren und deren Salze, enthalten wobei als Sulfinsäure Hydroxymethylsulfinsäure bevorzugt ist.According to the invention, the wood particles are bleached reductively. For the reductive bleaching, for example, reducing sulfur compounds such as dithionites, disulfites, sulfites or sulfur dioxide, sulfinic acids and their salts, in particular the alkali metal salts and especially the sodium salts and hydroxycarboxylic acids such as citric acid and malic acid are suitable. According to the present invention, bleaching compositions containing at least one bleaching agent selected from the group of stabilized sulfites and sulfinic acids and their salts are used hydroxymethylsulfinic acid being preferred as the sulfinic acid.

Die Stabilisierung der Sulfite erfolgt durch die Zugabe basischer Salze.The stabilization of the sulfites is carried out by the addition of basic salts.

Die Bleichmittelzusammensetzung kann neben dem mindestens einen Bleichmittel und gegebenenfalls dessen Stabilisatoren noch weitere Hilfsmittel enthalten wie Komplexbildner, beispielsweise EDTA oder Polyphosphate.The bleaching composition may contain, in addition to the at least one bleaching agent and optionally its stabilizers, further auxiliaries such as complexing agents, for example EDTA or polyphosphates.

Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung wird die Bleichmittelzusammensetzung dem cellulosehaltigen Rohstoff oder den Holzpartikeln während deren Herstellung zugesetzt. Die Zugabe erfolgt im Refiner oder bei Ausführen der Holzpartikel. Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform werden die Holzpartikel über eine Blowline ausgeführt, erfindungsgemäß wird die mindestens ein Bleichmittel enthaltende Bleichmittelzusammensetzung bei dieser Ausführungsform im Refiner oder in der Blowline, bevorzugt im Refiner oder am Beginn der Blowline, besonders bevorzugt im Refiner zugegeben.According to the present invention, the bleaching composition is added to the cellulose-containing raw material or the wood particles during their production. The addition takes place in the refiner or when carrying out the wood particles. According to a preferred embodiment, the wood particles are carried out via a blowline. According to the invention, the bleach composition containing at least one bleach is in this embodiment in the refiner or in the blowline, preferably added in the refiner or at the beginning of the blowline, particularly preferably in the refiner.

Die Bleichmittelzusammensetzungen werden den Holzpartikeln im Refiner oder in der Blowline üblicherweise in Form wässriger Lösungen zugeben, wobei die Konzentration an Bleichmittelzusammensetzung in der wässrigen Lösung von 1 bis 25 Gew.-%, bevorzugt von 5 bis 20 Gew.-% und besonders bevorzugt von 10 bis 15 Gew.-% reicht.The bleaching compositions are usually added to the wood particles in the refiner or in the blowline in the form of aqueous solutions, the concentration of bleaching composition in the aqueous solution being from 1 to 25% by weight, preferably from 5 to 20% by weight and more preferably from 10 to 15 wt .-% is enough.

Die gebleichten Holzpartikel können direkt weiterverarbeitet werden, sie können auch getrocknet werden und in getrocknetem Zustand weiterverarbeitet werden. Auch können die getrockneten Holzpartikel vor der Weiterverarbeitung zwischengelagert werden. Eine bevorzugte Möglichkeit zur Weiterverarbeitung der gebleichten Holzpartikel ist die Herstellung von Holzwerkstoffen, insbesondere direkt im Anschluss an den Bleichschritt.The bleached wood particles can be further processed directly, they can also be dried and further processed in a dried state. Also, the dried wood particles can be stored before further processing. A preferred possibility for further processing of the bleached wood particles is the production of wood-based materials, in particular directly after the bleaching step.

Weiterer Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von hellen bis weißen Holzwerkstoffen, das die folgenden Schritte umfasst:

  1. a) Zermahlen der vorbehandelten zerkleinerten, cellulosehaltigen Rohstoffe in einem Refiner zu Holzpartikeln
  2. b) Ausführen der Holzpartikel aus dem Refiner und

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform zur Herstellung von hellen bis weißen Holzwerkstoffen werden die Holzpartikel in Schritt b) über eine Blowline ausgeführt.In a preferred embodiment for the production of light to white wood materials, the wood particles are carried out in step b) via a blowline.

In einer ebenfalls bevorzugten Ausführungsform werden die zerkleinerten, cellulosehaltigen Rohstoffe in einem Kocher vorbehandelt, bevor sie in Schritt a) des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens eingesetzt werden.In a likewise preferred embodiment, the comminuted, cellulose-containing raw materials are pretreated in a digester before they are used in step a) of the process according to the invention.

Bei den erfindungsgemäßen hergestellten Holzwerkstoffen kann es sich um MDF-, HDF-, Span- oder OSB-Platten handeln. Bevorzugt sind MDF- und HDF-Platten, besonders bevorzugt sind MDF-Platten.The wood-based materials produced according to the invention may be MDF, HDF, chipboard or OSB boards. Preference is given to MDF and HDF boards, particularly preferred MDF boards.

MDF-, HDF-, OSB- und Spanplatten werden auch als Holzwerkstoffplatten bezeichnet. Sie werden bevorzugt hergestellt, indem beleimte Fasern beziehungsweise Späne zu Matten geschüttet, gegebenenfalls kalt vorverdichtet und in beheizten Pressen bei Temperaturen von 170 bis 240 °C zu Platten gepresst werden.MDF, HDF, OSB and chipboard are also referred to as wood-based panels. They are preferably prepared by gluing coated fibers or shavings into mats, optionally cold precompressed and pressed in heated presses at temperatures of 170 to 240 ° C to plates.

Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung handelt es sich bei dem als Leim eingesetzten Bindemittel üblicherweise um Harnstoff-Formaldehydharze, die zum Teil mit Melamin verstärkt sind, um Harnstoff-Melamin-Formaldehydharze, Melamin-Formaldehydharze, Phenol-Melaminharze und Phenol-Formaldehydharze. Als weiteres Bindemittel werden Isocyanate verwendet, diese basieren üblicherweise auf Polymethylendiisocyanat.According to the present invention, the binder used as the sizing agent is usually urea-formaldehyde resins partially reinforced with melamine, urea-melamine-formaldehyde resins, melamine-formaldehyde resins, phenol-melamine resins and phenol-formaldehyde resins. As a further binder isocyanates are used, these are usually based on polymethylene diisocyanate.

Die Holzpartikel können erfindungsgemäß direkt, d. h. noch feucht, in der Blowline beleimt werden. Es können jedoch auch die vorher getrockneten Holzpartikel in Mischern, vorzugsweise kontinuierlich arbeitenden Mischern, beleimt werden. Die Beleimung in Mischern ist insbesondere bei der Span- und OSB-Platten-Herstellung bevorzugt, zur Herstellung von HDF- und MDF-Platten findet die Beleimung bevorzugt in der Blowline statt. Ein weiteres mögliches Verfahren zur Beleimung besteht in der sogenannten Trockenbeleimung, dabei werden die getrockneten Holzpartikel mit Leim besprüht.The wood particles can according to the invention directly, d. H. still wet, glued in the blowline. However, it is also possible to glue the previously dried wood particles in mixers, preferably continuously operating mixers. Blending in mixers is particularly preferred in chipboard and OSB board production, for the production of HDF and MDF boards, the gluing preferably takes place in the blowline. Another possible method for gluing is in the so-called dry gluing, while the dried wood particles are sprayed with glue.

Werden die Holzpartikel in der Blowline beleimt, durchlaufen sie anschließend einen Trockner, in dem sie auf Feuchten von 8 bis 15 Gew.-% getrocknet werden. Die beleimten und gegebenenfalls getrockneten Holzpartikel werden anschließend zu Matten geschüttet, gegebenenfalls kalt vorverdichtet und in beheizten Pressen bei Temperaturen von 170 bis 240 °C zu Platten gepresst.If the wood particles are glued in the blowline, they then pass through a dryer in which they are dried to moistures of 8 to 15 wt .-%. The glued and optionally dried wood particles are then poured into mats, optionally precompressed cold and pressed in heated presses at temperatures of 170 to 240 ° C to plates.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung findet die Weiterverarbeitung der gebleichten Holzpartikel direkt im Anschluss an das Bleichen statt. Dabei werden die gebleichten Holzpartikel nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Bleichen durch Zugabe einer Bleichmittelzusammensetzung im Refiner oder am Beginn der Blowline in der Blowline beleimt, anschließend in einem Trockner auf eine Restfeuchte von 8 bis 15 Gew.-% getrocknet und zu Holzwerkstoffen weiterverarbeitet.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, the further processing of the bleached wood particles takes place immediately after the bleaching. The bleached wood particles are bleached after bleaching according to the invention by adding a bleach composition in the refiner or at the beginning of the blowline in the blowline, then dried in a dryer to a residual moisture content of 8 to 15 wt .-% and further processed into wood materials.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens zur Herstellung von hellen bis weißen Holzwerkstoffen wird während des Herstellungsprozesses den Holzpartikeln mindestens ein Weißpigment zugesetzt. Daraus resultiert eine Massefärbung des entstehenden Holzwerkstoffs.In a further preferred embodiment of the process according to the invention for producing light to white wood-based materials, at least one white pigment is added to the wood particles during the production process. This results in a mass coloration of the resulting wood material.

Der Begriff "Weißpigment" umfasst dabei erfindungsgemäß sowohl anorganische Pigmente wie Titandioxid (Rutil, C.I. Pigment White 6), Calciumcarbonat und Calcium/Magnesium-Mischcarbonate (z.B. Dolomit), Zinkoxid, Zinksulfit, Lithopone und Natriium-AluminiumSilikate, als auch weißfärbende, stark lichtstreuende Kunststoffemulsionen und - dispersionen. Bevorzugt sind die anorganischen Weißpigmente, besonders bevorzugt ist Titandioxid. Es können auch Mischungen von Weißpigmenten verwendet werden.The term "white pigment" according to the invention encompasses both inorganic pigments such as titanium dioxide (rutile, CI Pigment White 6), calcium carbonate and calcium / magnesium mixed carbonates (eg dolomite), zinc oxide, zinc sulfite, lithopone and sodium aluminum silicates, as well as white-dyeing, strongly light-scattering Plastic emulsions and dispersions. The inorganic white pigments are preferred, and titanium dioxide is particularly preferred. It is also possible to use mixtures of white pigments.

Die Weißpigmente werden bevorzugt in Form wässriger Dispersionen, in denen sie fein verteilt vorliegen, eingesetzt, da sie so über die Blowline, getrennt von oder zusammen mit dem Leim direkt in den Herstellungsprozess der Holzwerkstoffe eingebracht werden können. Diese Pigmentdispersionen können weitere übliche Hilfsstoffe, insbesondere Netz- und Dispergiermittel, Entschäumer und Biozide, Antiabsetzmittel, Wasserrückhaltemittel und Rheologiemodifizierer enthalten und werden vorzugsweise durch Nassmahlung aller Komponenten zum Beispiel in einer Rührwerkskugelmühle hergestellt.The white pigments are preferably used in the form of aqueous dispersions in which they are finely divided, since they can be introduced directly into the production process of the wood materials via the blowline, separately from or together with the glue. These pigment dispersions may contain other customary auxiliaries, in particular wetting and dispersing agents, defoamers and biocides, anti-settling agents, water retention agents and rheology modifiers and are preferably prepared by wet milling of all components, for example in a stirred ball mill.

Empfehlenswerte Konzentrationen des Weißpigments in den fertigen Holzwerkstoff liegen in der Regel bei 0,5 bis 15 % pro atro Holzfaser, bevorzugt bei 1 bis 6 % pro atro Holzfaser.Recommended concentrations of the white pigment in the finished wood material are usually at 0.5 to 15% per atro wood fiber, preferably at 1 to 6% per atro wood fiber.

Eine weitere Steigerung des Weißgrads lässt sich durch Zusatz von optischen Aufhellern erreichen, die durch ihre bläuliche Fluoreszenz (komplementäre Farbe) Vergrauungen und Vergilbungen kompensieren.A further increase in whiteness can be achieved by the addition of optical brighteners, which compensate for their bluish fluorescence (complementary color) graying and yellowing.

Geeignet sind grundsätzlich alle blau emittierenden Fluoreszenzfarbstoffe, besonders kommerziell zugängliche Produkte, z.B. Ultraphor® (BASF), Leucophor® (Clariant) oder Tinopal® (Ciba), aus den chemischen Substanzklassen der Stilbene, Distyrylbiphenyle, Cumarine, Naphthalsäureimide und über Doppelbindungen verknüpften Benzoxazol- und Benzimidazolsysteme.Principle, all blue-emitting fluorescent dyes, particularly commercially accessible products, including Ultraphor ® (BASF), Leucophor® ® (Clariant) or Tinopal ® (Ciba), from the chemical classes of stilbenes, distyrylbiphenyls, coumarins, naphthalimides and double bond linked benzoxazole and benzimidazole systems.

Die optischen Aufheller können in Form von wässrigen Dispersionen oder Lösungen getrennt oder zusammen mit dem Leim in den Herstellprozess für die Holzwerkstoffe eingeschleust werden.The optical brighteners can be introduced in the form of aqueous dispersions or solutions separately or together with the glue in the production process for the wood-based materials.

Wird ein optischer Aufheller eingesetzt, so liegt seine Konzentration in dem fertigen Holzwerkstoff im Allgemeinen bei 0,01 bis 1% pro atro Holzfaser, vorzugsweise bei 0,08 bis 0,2% pro atro Holzfaser.If an optical brightener is used, its concentration in the finished wood material is generally from 0.01 to 1% per atro wood fiber, preferably 0.08 to 0.2% per atro wood fiber.

Ganz besonders bevorzugt sind solche erfindungsgemäßen Holzwerkstoffe, bei denen sowohl mindestens ein Weißpigment und mindestens ein optischer Aufheller kombiniert sind, da die Einzelbeiträge durch Synergie-Effekte zu einem maximalen Gesamtweißgrad potenziert werden.Very particular preference is given to wood-based materials of the invention in which both at least one white pigment and at least one optical brightener are combined, since the individual contributions are potentiated by synergy effects to a maximum overall degree of whiteness.

Dabei ist es verfahrenstechnisch besonders vorteilhaft, die Weißpigmente und die optischen Aufheller zusammen in einer einzigen wässrigen Dispersion zu präparieren, die der Leimflotte hinzugefügt wird, bevor diese durch die Blowline in den Holzwerkstoff-Herstellprozess injiziert wird.It is procedurally particularly advantageous to prepare the white pigments and the optical brightener together in a single aqueous dispersion, which is added to the glue liquor before it is injected by the blowline in the wood material manufacturing process.
