Patented May 24, 1932 UNITED STATES PATEN'IT; OFFICE JOHN D. RUE, OF MADISON, WISCONSIN, SIDNEY D. WELLS; OF QUINCY, IIiLINOIS, .AND FRANCIS G. RA'WLING, F MADISON, WISCONSIN, ASSIGNORS TO ARTHUR H. HYDE, SECRETARY O1 AGRICULTURE 01 THE UNITED STATES PULPED MATERIAL AND PROCESS OF PREPARING THE SAME No Drawing.
This invention relates to the production a ligno-cellulosic intermediate product of uniform composition which may be pounded and rubbed into pulp without breaking the fibers and without the reduction to fragments of more than an insignificant proportion of the fibers and cells.
Especially does this invention relate to fiber producing processes and to the resulting fibrous material suitable for paper manu-' facture and for other purposes, obtained from wood as for example by boiling the same under pressure in the process of aqueous solutions of caustic soda and sodium sulphide, caustic soda and sulphur, sodium sulphite and sodium bicarbonate, or sodium sulphite and sodium carbonate of suitable concentration to soften the woody material and to form the ligno cellulosic intermediat product above mentioned. I
At the present state of the pulp makers art the processes used may be divided into two groups, the mechanical and the chemical. The mechanical process consists essentially of pressing blocks of wood against a revolving grindstone in the presence of water and the wood is reduced to pulp by rinding and the frictional heat developed. 11 this process the action is so severe that comparatively few of the fibers survive in their entity and a large portion of the pulp consists of fragments of single fibers or of bundles of fibers.
In the chemical processes the wood is cut to chips and digested under pressure in .a ueous solutions of the bisulphites of the al aline earths and sulphurous acid or caustic soda or caustic soda andsodium sulphide or sodium sulphite. The digestion is carried to such a point that over fifty per cent of the wood substance is dissolved and a product testing over 90% cellulose is left. In these processes the ultimate fibers are intact, but the bond between them has been removed so 'llgnin and hemicelluloses.
Application filed August 4, 1926. Serial No. 127,178
that they separate with the slightest mechanical agitation. By ultimate fiber is meant the elongated cells which are attached longitudinally and'cemented together radial- 1y by incrusting matter consisting largely of Their entity is readil discernible under the microscope and their ength is approximately 100 times or more than diameter in the coniferous Woods and approximately times diameter in the deciduous woods.
In the present improvement the wood is also cut to chips and the chips subjected to aqueous solutions of suitable chemicals at elevated temperatures after first being subjected to an impregnation treatment under pressure. The digestion however is only carried to the point that the middle lamella or cementing material between the fibers is softened. but not completely dissolved. The middle lamella is essentially lignin.v The softened chips are then capable of reduction to their ultimate fibers and cells by suitable pounding or rubbing or a combination of both. A pulp is obtained that has the general appearance of pulp obtained by the chemical processes mentioned, but instead of a yield of from 40 to 50 .per cent being obtained, a yield of from 60 to 85 per cent is realized, depending on the species of wood and the severity of the treatment. While these pulps are similar in appearance to what are generally known as chemical pulps they have distinct chemical characteristics, as will be shown in the following table of analysis. In this table the terms used may be explained as .follows:
Solubility in 1 sodium hydro wide This test is the amount of material dissolved on treatment of the pulp one hour in a 1% solution of sodium hydroxide at 100 C.
Cellulose Bevan and described by A. W. Schorger 100 Jour. Ind. and Eng. Chem. 9, (1917) 556.
In accordance with this, the following procedure is used. Two grams of air dry pulp in an alundum crucible are extracted three to four hours with a mixture of 67 per cent of benzol and 33 per cent alcohol. After evaporation of the solvent the shavings are thoroughly washed with hot water using the suction pump. The moist pulp is then transferred with a pointed glass rod to a 250 cc. beaker, evenly distributed over the bottom, and subjected to a stream (about forty bubbles per minute for each sample) of water washed chlorine gas for half an hour. The end of the tube delivering the chlorine gas should be about one-half inch above the pulp. At intervals of six to seven minutes the contents of the beaker are stirred to insure uniformity of chlorination. After the chlorine treatment the pulp istreated with a solution of SO until the chlorine odor disappears, transferred to the alundum crucible, and washed with hot Water. The pulp is again returned with the glass rod to the beaker, and 100 cc. of a two per cent sodium 'snlphite solution are added and the beaker, covered with a watch glass, placed in a boiling water bath for 30 minutes. The fibers are then transferred to the crucible and washed with water. The above procedure is seldom sufficient -to remove all the lignin, so that the treatment with chlorine and subsequent treatment as outlined above is repeated until the fibers are practically a uniform white. The second and following treatments with chlorine should not be longer than 15 to 30 minutes. After all the lignin has been removed the fibers are given a final bleaching by adding 20 cc. of a 0.1 per cent solution of potassium permanganate, allowed to stand 10 minutes and rendered colorless with S0 solution. The fibers are then thoroughly washed with hot water, dilute acetic acid, .then with hot water, then with alcohol and finally with ether, and dried for two hours at 105 C. in the air oven. After cooling by a dessicator over H 50 the crucible is weighed in a weighing bottle. Ligm'n This result consists of the residue left after treatment with sulphuric acid under conditions prescribed by Ost and Wilkening and reported by Cross and Bevan in Researches on Cellulose, III, 39, (1906-10). 'In adapting that method to the present problems the following steps are followed. Two to four grams of air dry pulp are weighed in an alundum thimble, extracted with ether in a soxhl'et apparatus for 3 to 4 hours, and dried at 105 The pulp is then removed from the alundum extraction thimbles, placed in 250 cc. beakers, divided into fine particles and treated with 40 cc. of 72.0 per cent sulphuric acid. The hydrolysis is allowed to proceed for 16 hours at room temperature, with frequent stirring at the beginning of the operation. The resulting solution is transferred to a two liter Erlenmeyer flask diluted to 1570 cc. with distilled water, which makes the concentration of H 80 exactly 3 per cent, and boiled under a reflex condenser for two hours. This causes a coagulation of the suspended particles of lignin, which is then filtered on an alundum crucible, washed thoroughly with hot water, dried and weighed as lignin.

It may be differentiated from the sulphite pulps of commerce in that when obtained from deciduous wood, it is not more than 9% soluble in 1% caustic soda solution, containing from 70% to 91% cellulose, and from 8% to 23% of lignin. It may be differentiated from the soda or sulphate pulps of commerce in that it contains less than 91% cellulose and more than 8% of l gnin. When derived from coniferous species it contains from 63% to 80% of cellulose and from 20% to 32% of lignin and is not more than 7% soluble in sodium hydroxide. i
The softening andpartially completed pulping provided for by the chemical treatment of this invention is adapted to be followed by any mechanical. disintegration which will not break-the softened fibers and thus needlessly shorten them. Peculiarly adapted for such mechanical treatment is the rod mill process and apparatus described and claimed in the copendlng application of Sidney D. Wells, one of the applicants herein, Serial No. 49,461, filed August 10, 1925. That apparatus provides a rotatable drum structure within which the pulp is tumbled, pounded and beaten by interminglingcontact with a plurality of rods which extend in parallel relation '1 ngthwise of the axis of the drum and are free to roll and tumble therein under the influence of the rotary movement of the drum. With this improved pulping apparatus the length of the fiber is maintained and the fibers are not disintegrated into the sawdust-like particles commonly produced and observed in processes in which the grinding apparatus includes a rotary abrading element or cutting element.
The following procedure may be used in treating fresh wood fibrous material to roduce .the ligno-cellulosic material descri ed.
The wood is first convertedto chips in the manner used in chemical pulp mlls and charged into a digester. They are then impregnated by steaming and then forcing the softening solution into them by filling the digester therewith and thereby completely immersing the chips and produclng hydrostatic pressure by means of a pump, steam, air, or any other method known to the art. After impregnation for half an hour or more at 100 pounds pressure the softening solution will be found to have practically penetrated the chips and the excess over that required for softening is removed. Using 10 parts of sodium sulphite and 4 parts of sodium bicarbonate per 100 parts dry weight of gum chips gives excellent results. The substitution of sodium carbonate for bicarbonate is also satisfactory. The substitution of 2 parts caustic soda for the bicarbonate gives satisfactory results with loblolly pine. For pulps from the pines where greater strength is desired 8 parts of caustic soda and one part of sulphur is satisfactory. 8% calcium bisulphite and 2%sulphurous acid gave good results with tamarack. .It can thus be seen that a wide range of chemicals may be used. This impregnation feature is important because it makes possible the softening of the wood uniformly through its thickness. By the term uniform is meant the even softening to substantially the same degree from the exterior to the center of each piece of wood. Thus the chips after treatment are practically as soft at their centers as they are on the outside.
Without previous impregnation and with the use of the direct'eook only, the woody material is likely to become damaged by over cooking on the exterior portions before the interior is adequately softened. Thus, with ordinary cooking methods, the undigested chips will be almost completely cooked on the outside, and in extreme cases, the center After the excess of liquor has been withdrawn the contents of the digester are heated until a temperature of over 120 C. has been attained and the contents held thereat until the desired softening has taken place.
the first three instances two hours at 160 C. was suflicient. Four hours at 160 C. was sufficient in the fourth, and six hours coming up to a temperature of 120 C. was sufficient in the last. The contents are then removed from the digester and reduced to ultimate fibers by passing through a rod mill or by other mechanical treatment.
Should a mixture of coniferous and deciduous material be treated in accordance with the process of this invention, the resultant ligno-cellulosic pulped material would have vary'ng'proportions of lignin and cellulose in its content, ranging from 8 per cent to 32 per cent of lignin and from 63 per cent to 91 per cent of cellulose, depending on the proportion of coniferous and deciduous material present.
The process of the present invention may be followed in treating vegetable fibrous material other than wood and as provided for the treatment of straw and grasses as described and claimed in our copending application Serial N 0. 133,516, filed September 3., 1926.
