Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a bleaching process capable of producing bleached pulp having improved strength and whiteness while decreasing the waste water pollution load and reducing the amount of chemicals. CONSTITUTION:A hardwood kraft pulp digested by conventional kraft process and bleached with oxygen and having a kappa-value of 10.2 is treated with a filtrate obtained from a chlorine stage at 50 deg.C and pH 3.0 at a pulp concentration of 15% and a retention time of 90 min. The treated pulp is bleached by the sequence of C-E/O-H-D without using the washing and draining procedures. The kappa-value of the pulp after the chlorine-alkali stage is 1.28, which is lower than the case free from the treatment with the filtrate of the chlorine stage by a little less than 16%. The whiteness of the bleached pulp is increased by 0.6% and the brightness reversion is improved by a little over 23%. The pulp viscosity is increased and the tear strength is improved by a little over 5%.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In order to use a lignocellulosic material for many purposes, the lignocellulosic material is made into a pulp by a chemical action such as digestion, or is made into a pulp by a mechanical action, and then the pulp is bleached. It is necessary to increase the whiteness. For example, kraft pulp is usually bleached with chlorine, hypochlorite (hypo), chlorine dioxide, oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, caustic soda, etc., except when it is used for applications requiring strength such as packaging materials. It is generally used after bleaching with a bleaching agent and a bleaching aid to remove residual lignin, which is a coloring-causing substance of unbleached pulp.

In the bleaching of chemical pulp requiring strength, in order to keep the strength of the pulp fiber itself high, a radical one-step bleaching is performed so as to minimize the influence on the decomposition of carbohydrates (such as cellulose). It is common to avoid this and use a multi-stage bleaching process (sequence) that gently changes the bleaching agent and the bleaching conditions.

Usually, in a multi-stage bleaching sequence, the lignin contained in the pulp is first chlorinated with chlorine,
After solubilizing the lignin, the lignin is then dissolved and extracted with alkali to separate the lignin from the pulp. After that, a small amount of residual lignin is decomposed and removed using hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide or the like to obtain a pulp with high whiteness.

Usually, in order to obtain a fully bleached pulp having a Hunter whiteness of 80 to 90%, 5 or 6 bleaching stages were required. In recent years, however, in chlorine stages, chlorine and chlorine dioxide are used in combination. In the method of oxidization, that is, the method such as C / D, C D or Dc, or the alkali extraction stage subsequent to the chlorine stage, oxygen (Eo), hydrogen peroxide (Ep) or hypochlorite (E H) is used. ) Or using them together (eg Epo
) Technology has been developed, and in combination with oxygen bleaching technology, the bleaching stage can be shortened to 3 or 4 stages.

In addition, the oxygen bleaching method developed in recent years can reduce the amount of lignin in unbleached pulp by almost half, so that the chlorine addition rate in the subsequent chlorine stage can be further reduced,
As a result, the amount of organic chlorine compounds contained in the waste water can be reduced. Therefore, a large number of oxygen bleaching devices are operating in major countries that manufacture paper pulp in the world, including Japan,
It is expected that the number of operating units will increase more and more in the future.

Conventionally, in the oxygen stage, when the Kappa number, which is an index of the amount of lignin remaining in the pulp, is set to be less than half of the Kappa number of the pulp accepted in the oxygen stage, the pulp viscosity is significantly reduced and the pulp strength is significantly reduced. So
It was difficult to obtain more than half the delignification amount in the oxygen stage.

However, it has been reported that the pre-treatment with nitrogen dioxide before the oxygen bleaching stage improves the delignification property in the oxygen stage, and this method has not been operated on an actual scale yet. In a pilot plant test, it was reported that the Kappa number could be reduced to 36% before oxygen bleaching and the amount of organic chlorine compounds could be reduced by 41% compared to normal oxygen bleaching (paper and peripheral technology, quarterly 1 Issue, 198

As a method of reducing the chlorine addition rate in the chlorine stage, it is possible to use chlorine dioxide in combination in the chlorine stage and increase the use ratio thereof. In recent years, many pulp mills in Japan have been reported to operate with an increased proportion of chlorine dioxide used, but there is a limit to the ability of the existing facilities of the mill to generate chlorine dioxide,
Due to the limited amount of chlorine dioxide required and the high production cost of chlorine dioxide, it is not economical to increase the use ratio of chlorine dioxide to 30% or more with respect to chlorine.

Further, the chlorine addition rate in the chlorine stage is reduced,
In order to compensate for the lack of delignification in the chlorine stage, there is a method of using oxygen (E O ), hydrogen peroxide (E P ), hypo (E H ), etc. together in the next alkali extraction stage. When using, a special mixer is required because mixing with pulp is important, hydrogen peroxide is expensive, and in the case of hypo, there is a drawback that the viscosity decrease becomes large.

As a result, since the chlorine addition rate in the chlorine stage can be reduced, the amount of organic chlorine compounds in the waste water can be greatly reduced. That is, the present invention, since delignification in the chlorine bleaching stage is improved, even if the chemical addition rate in each bleaching stage or especially the chemical addition rate in the chlorine stage is lowered below the level of the ordinary bleaching method, Pulp whiteness comparable to that of the bleaching method can be obtained, and chemical costs can be reduced. Further, when the chemical addition rate in the chlorine stage is lowered, the amount of the organic chlorine compound in the waste water can be reduced, and the bleaching pulp can be improved in the discoloring property and the pulp strength can be improved. In addition, combination with MCC cooking method, combination of ordinary craft method and oxygen bleaching method,
Alternatively, when the pulp from the lignocellulosic material obtained by the combination of the MCC cooking method and the oxygen bleaching method is bleached according to the present invention, not only is the pollution load on the wastewater reduced most, but the chlorine from the chlorine stage is also reduced. Since the discharge amount of the compound itself is reduced, the quality of the waste water is greatly improved, and further, the whiteness of the pulp is improved and the chemical addition rate is significantly reduced.

The higher the temperature in the pretreatment step, the more effective it is in promoting delignification, but it is in the range of 40 to 80 ° C., preferably 50 to 60 ° C. from the viewpoint of pulp quality. When the chlorine stage is operated at a temperature of 40 ° C. or lower, heating is necessary if the filtrate from the chlorine stage is to be used in the pretreatment process of the pulp of the present invention. However, today, the temperature of unbleached pulp that has undergone the usual cooking and washing steps is generally in the range of 40 to 60 ° C, and the temperature of pulp treated by the known oxygen bleaching method is 60 to 80 ° C. Therefore, heating is required only at the time of start-up to secure the temperature in the pretreatment. At temperatures below 40 ° C,
Since it is difficult to obtain the effect of pretreatment, it is necessary to heat in that case, and a temperature of higher than 80 ° C. is not suitable because it deteriorates the pulp quality and increases the cost economically in a thermo-economic manner.

The pulp concentration in the pretreatment step is preferably in the range of medium to high concentration, but the higher the concentration, the more the contact between pulps increases, and the component that inhibits delignification in the chlorine stage is easily removed. However, if the concentration is too high, the desired effect cannot be obtained because the mixing of the filtrate and pulp deteriorates.
Further, even if the pulp concentration is too low, the desired effect cannot be obtained. The desirable pulp concentration in the present invention is in the range of 10 to 20%, and the pulp concentration is appropriately selected from these and used in combination with other conditions.

Further, the holding time in the pretreatment step is 30 to 120 minutes. If the holding time is less than 30 minutes, the reaction is not sufficient, and if the holding time is more than 120 minutes, the cost of the equipment is increased, which is not suitable. The pulp flow in this pretreatment stage may be upflow or downflow. In the present invention, the liquid mixed and contacted after the pretreatment is not removed, that is, the pretreated pulp is sent to the subsequent chlorine stage without washing. If washing and deliquoring are performed in this step, not only the bleaching property in the chlorine stage is deteriorated, but also polysaccharides such as hemicellulose eluted in the liquid are released from the pulp fiber and discharged out of the system. There is also the drawback of lowering the rate, so do not wash or drain.
