Abstract

Wood is pulped by the action of a grinding member in the presence of a liquid - conventionally water. In order that the process can be carried out above 100 DEG C, either under pressure or at atmospheric pressure, a liquid is used which has a boiling point, at atmospheric pressure, above 100 DEG C.

Description

SPECIFICATION Production of mechanical wood pulp The invention relates to a process for the production of wood pulp in a pulp grinder with a grinding member against which wood is pressed, the grinding zone being supplied with liquid.
Hitherto, water has always been used as the liquid.
The water serves as transport means, for the cooling of the grinding member - e.g. grindstone - and also as a solvent for fibre-bonding substances. As a result of the frictional heat the grinding member becomes heated which can lead to local burning. Thus the supplied water brings about a cooling of the stone.
Moreover, the separated fibres are floated away with the water.
It has been proved that the grinding process is particularly kind to the fibres if water which has a high temperature is added. At high temperatures the lignin, the bonding agent of the wood, is softened.
Consequently, the fibres can be released from the bond much easier and with less damage. The wood pulp contains fewer fragments of fibre and much fewer splinters or groups of fibres. Furthermore, the percentage of long fibres and the strength properties of the wood pulp increase considerably. A liquid temperature of around approximately 1200C or more in the grinding zone would be optimal. At this temperature the lignin softens whereby a smaller outlay of energy is necessary for the production of the wood pulp. However, water boils at atmospheric pressure at 1000C. For this reason it has already been proposed to provide the grinder with a pressuretight housing and to grind under pressure.In this manner it is possible, e.g. at a superatmospheric pressure of from 1 to 3 bar, to achieve water temperatures of 120 to 130 C. However, this process has the disadvantage that a considerable constructional outlay is necessary and an arrangement of this type is thus very expensive.
According to the present invention there is provided a method of producing mechanical wood pulp in a wood grinder with a grinding member against which the wood is pressed while a liquid is fed to the grinding zone, the liquid having a boiling point, at atmospheric pressure, above 100"C.
The process in accordance with the invention thus allows elevated temperatures to be achieved in a simple manner and without special structural means. If the grinding process is carried out in the temperature range at which the lignin softens, a very good wood pulp can be obtained. Preferably the boiling point of the liquid which is used is above 115"C.
There are numerous liquids which meet these requirements. For this purpose both organic and inorganic liquids or solids which are dissolved accordingly in a liquid, e.g. water, can be used. For example, an aqueous solution of sodium chloride (table salt) can be used, the boiling point of the liquid being determined by the quantity of added sodium chloride. It is also possible to use high boiling-point alcohols, e.g. butyl alcohol, heptyl alcohol or benzyl alcohol having boiling points of 118"C, 176Cand 205"C respectively. Glycerol (boiling point 290"C) or a mixture of water and glycerol can likewise be used.
An aqueous solution of sodium sulphite (Na2SO3) or sodium sulphate (Na2SO4) is also possible. Obviously other liquids can be used provided that they do not impair the grinding action or, of course, corrode the apparatus used.
If desired, the liquid used can be recycled, to limit heat loss.
Although one aim of the invention is to permitthe use of temperatures above 1000C without the need for pressurised apparatus, it is also applicable to pulp grinders which are operated under pressure or in which water at super-atmospheric pressure is fed into the grinding zone. Thus, if required, a further increase in temperature can be achieved.
There is thus provided a process for the production of wood pulp by means of which a wood pulp of high quality can be produced, having a high percentage of long fibres and good strength whilst requiring relatively little energy yet not necessitating expensive apparatus.
