Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for separating a portion of a corn plants and producing pulp from the plant for making paper products. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for harvesting portions of corn plants, that is, harvesting portions from the ground up to about the ears of the corn plant. Additionally, the present invention relates to a versatile pulping process including at least one of mechanical, semi-chemical, and chemical process in order to produce pulp suitable for various paper products and producing various paper products from the pulp.
  • Trees provide a major source of the fiber supply for paper and paperboard products industries.
  • Softwood is a very suitable species for mechanical pulping. Chemical pulps of softwood are used where the strength of the paper product is important. Hardwood has a much shorter fiber than softwood and typically is not suitable for mechanical pulping, but suitable for chemical and semi-chemical pulping. Hardwood chemical pulp is used in paper products where surface smoothness and optical properties are important. Wood based fiber is expensive as it incurs a high chemical charge for pulping, high energy input for cooking and refining, and high cost chemical recovery systems. Additionally, the environmental impact of wood based fiber is disadvantageous.
  • Agricultural residues such as cornstalks offer a promising alternative source of fiber.
  • they can serve as important raw materials for making paper products, including products for printing, writing, top linerboard, liner, tissue paper and other specialty grade paper.
  • environmental concerns have heightened the interest in using agricultural fibers. Exploitation of agro-based resources for making paper products is important to improve farm profitability and reduce environmental pollution from burning and land disposal.
  • the use of agricultural plants for making paper products is negligible. This is especially true in the United States where nearly 284 million tons of total agricultural residues, including 150 million tons of cornstalks are available annually.
  • Cornstalk as a fiber source for papermaking is not popular in major pulp and paper producing countries as there are abundant and secure supplies of pulpwood meeting the raw material requirements for large-scale capital-intensive pulp mills.
  • a large-scale pulp mill based on agricultural residues needs a large supply of bulky raw materials, thereby creating transportation problems. Additionally, agricultural residues are seasonal, thereby creating storage problems. Separation of appropriate parts of cornstalk residue during harvesting will reduce transportation and storage problems.
  • a pulp mill based on cornstalk should be small scale and community based.
  • a large-scale mill may be used depending on the availability of cornstalk and supply logistic.
  • the related art covering non-wood pulping and papermaking include U.S. Pat. No. 6,302,997 issued to Hurter et al. This describes methods of non-wood pulping for papermaking. Cornstover (stalks, leaves and husks) are used in this process and contain low quality fiber and a high quantity of debris. Accordingly, transport and storage problems in the farm as well as in the mill are present in the related art. Additionally, pith, leaves, and husk contain a small quantity of good fibers. Therefore, tube grinders, conveyers, hydrapulpers, pumps, magnetic separators, and dewatering screens have to handle huge volumes of unnecessary materials.
  • the invention has a number of drawbacks, for example: 1) dealing with cornstover having materials such as pith, leaves and husk that have very little fiber value; 2) carrying the unnecessary mass to the mill creates transportation and storage and disposal problems of the large supply of reject materials; 3) low pulp yield; 4) high chemical consumption in acid stage, bleaching stage and in adjustments of pH; 5) the process involves extra steps that increases capital costs and operating expenses; and 6) the process saves energy during alkaline cooking but consumes more energy through refining.

  • mill storage should not be more than about 15 days in order to optimize the mill spatially.
  • the mill should use a simple and environmentally benign process with low capital and operating costs to compete with the larger wood based mills. These processes are not currently available in the art.

  • the high yield semi-chemical cornstalk paper can be blended with high yield softwood kraft pulp to produce sack paper, wrapping paper, packaging board, carton board etc. Dissolving pulp and useful by-products derived from hemicellulose can be produced from cornstalk.
  • Printing and writing paper, photocopy paper, and top white linerboard may contain approximately 5 to 20% bleached softwood Kraft pulp, having approximately 5 to 60% filler content.
  • the filler may include any combination of calcium carbonate, clay, talc, kaolin, titanium dioxide, and the like.
  • any combination of sizing agents, dry strength agents, wet strength resins, and retention aids may be applied during the paper making.
  • the sizing agents may include any combination of rosin emulsion, alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA), alkyl ketene dimmer (AKD), and the like.
  • the dry strength agents may include any combination of starch, gums, soluble cellulose derivatives, and the like.
  • the wet strength resins may include any combination of polyvinyl alcohol, latex, and the like.
  • the retention aid may include any combination of polyacrylamide, polyethylene amine, and the like.
  • cornstalk portions were separated manually from the leaves and other unwanted materials.
  • the cornstalk stems were then broken into small pieces mechanically.
  • the mechanical separation was accomplished with two oppositely rotating devil teeth plates.
  • the system separates the skin, however, a substantial quantity of pith remains with the skin. It is noted that any other suitable mechanical separating tool may be utilized.
  • cornstalk pulp requires less bleaching chemicals than half of those required for softwood and hardwood pulp.
  • the raw cornstalk material from the bottom portion of the plant, comprises mostly skin and includes knots and pith. That includes, the lower portion of the cornstalk plant below about the ears of the plant, for example, about the bottom 2 to 3 ft of cornstalk. This consists of thick skin and relatively low pith.
  • the leaves present in the lower part of cornstalk may be easily removed after chopping. The removal or separation of the leaves may be done by blowing air due to the difference in density of chopped cornstalk and leaves. The fiber quality is not significantly affected due to the presence of a small quantity of pith in the lower part of the cornstalk as shown in example 1.
  • the results demonstrate that cornstalk pulp can obtain a high brightness level while using low amounts of chemicals.
  • the results are due to lower lignin content of the pulp correspond to one third of softwood and hardwood chemical pulps.
  • the cornstalk needs less cooking chemicals, lower cooking temperatures and less cooking time compared to the wood.
  • the cornstalk processing cost will be similar to that wood when using a selected portion of the lower part of cornstalk. Additionally, the cost of storage and transportation will be minimized by low cost of cornstalk, and ultimately the cost of cornstalk at the mill gate will be much lower than that of wood.
  • CSF Canadian Standard freeness
  • the blow tank includes a screen at the bottom to facilitate washing the pulp with hot water after the transfer of the pulp to the blow tank.
  • the pulp was washed with hot water and then transferred to a large screen having 0.008 inches wide slots.
  • the screen reject was less than about 0.07%.
  • the pulp was then dewatered under pressure to about 30% solid content.
  • the dewatered pulp was then shredded and kept in a cold room for future use.
  • the screened pulp yield was around 46.5%, which was similar to lab scale studies. Three samples, each of about 30 g on oven dry basis, were refined at 400, 700, and 1000 revolutions in a PFI mill.
  • Handsheets were prepared and tested according to TAPPI standard methods. Table 6 shows the results from the three samples refined at 400, 700, and 1000 revolutions in PFI mill, respectively. TABLE 6 Physical, mechanical and optical properties of screened unbleached pulp from pilot scale pulping. Tensile Tear index Burst index Scatt. CSF Density Elongation Index (mN ⁇ (kPa ⁇ Brightness Opacity Coeff.
  • the handsheet demonstrates very good mechanical properties with tensile index: 82 N-m/g, tear index 4.5 mN.m 2 /g, and burst index 5.5 kPa.m 2 /g. It is important to note that during lab-scale pulping, cornstalks were washed well with hot water and pith contents were adjusted manually. However, during the pilot scale trial we could not wash and adjust the pith content due to large amount of materials involved. As a result, cornstalk used in pilot scale cooking might contain higher percentage of dirt and pith compared to cornstalk used in lab-scale cooking. This is one of the reasons of getting slightly inferior pulp and low initial brightness compared to lab-scale pulp. These problems can be solved if pulp is produced at the pulp mill and incorporated with a full set of washing, screening and cleaning systems.
  • the furnish for the preparation of cornstalk paper is as follows: Bleached cornstalk chemical pulp: 60%, Bleached northern softwood kraft pulp (commercial grade): 20%, filler (precipitated calcium carbonate): 20%; starch: 0.5% (based on o.d. fiber basis); Hercon size 79 AKD (0.5%): 0.2% (o.d fiber basis) and Nalco 7520 Retention aid (0.1%): 0.05% (o.d. fiber basis).
  • Bleached cornstalk pulp (never dried) is blended with softwood kraft pulp in a hydrapulper. No refining was required, as just agitation of hydrapulper dropped the freeness to about 400 ml. Filler and starch are added to the machine chest. The sizing agent and retention aid are metered into the machine chest.
  • the furnish for the preparation of hardwood paper is as follows: bleached mixed hardwood pulp (commercial grade): 60%, bleached northern softwood kraft pulp (commercial grade): 20%; filler (precipitated calcium carbonate): 20%; starch: 0.5%; Hercon size 79AKD (0.5%): 0.2%, and Nalco 7520 retention aid (0.1%): 0.05%.
  • Hardwood and softwood kraft pulp laps are mixed in a hydrapulper and refined at 3.71% consistency to 470 ml CSF level. Filler and starch are added to machine chest. The Sizing agent and retention aid are metered into the machine chest.
  • Table 8 shows that the density of cornstalk pulp was higher than those of wood pulp. Brightness of cornstalk pulp is nearly 1 point higher than wood pulp, but the printing opacity is more than 2 points lower. Both scattering coefficient and absorption coefficient for wood pulp were slightly higher than cornstalk pulp. Scattering coefficient is inversely related to paper bonding property. Porosity for cornstalk pulp is 171 sec/100 ml compared to 7.1 sec/100 ml for wood pulp. That means wood pulp result in much more porous structure than cornstalk pulp.
  • Table-9 shows that CIE Whiteness of cornstalk pulp was about 4 points higher than wood pulp and CIE Tint was lower than wood pulp. Brightness, opacity, scattering coefficient, absorption coefficient of cornstalk pulp and wood pulp were similar. LL* that represents lightness increasing from zero for black to 100 for perfect white, is similar for both cornstalk pulp and wood pulp; a,a* that represents redness when plus, is higher for cornstalk pulp than wood pulp; b,b* that represents yellowness when plus, is higher for wood pulp than cornstalk pulp.
  • Table-10 shows the comparison of strength properties of wood pulp and cornstalk pulp both in machine-direction (MD) and cross-direction (CD). All of the strength properties of cornstalk pulp are 40% to 300% higher than that of wood pulp. Tensile strength properties of cornstalk pulp in machine direction was about 50% higher, and in cross-direction is 122% higher than those of wood pulp. Stretch value of cornstalk pulp in MD and CD directions were respectively 50% and 100% higher than those of hardwood pulp. TEA (tensile energy absorption) value of cornstalk pulp in MD direction is 130% and in CD direction is 200% higher than those of hardwood pulp. Similarly tear index of cornstalk pulp in MD direction is 55% higher and CD direction is 36% higher than those of hardwood pulp.
  • MD machine-direction
  • CD cross-direction
  • cornstalk pulp in general, are responsible for weak bonding properties of paper. Although cornstalk pulp retained 22% filler compared to 17% filler in wood pulp, cornstalk pulp was much stronger than wood pulp. Pilot paper machine trial has further demonstrated that cornstalk pulp can hold the filler in the fiber matrix more efficiently than does wood pulp.
  • Table 11 shows the Sheffield smoothness, burst index, Taber stiffness and number of double folds of both cornstalk and hardwood pulp. Sheffield smoothness of cornstalk pulp and hardwood pulp were similar in the felt direction, whereas in wire direction cornstalk pulp was more smooth than hardwood pulp. Burst strength of cornstalk pulp was more than 100% stronger than hardwood pulp. Number of double folds for cornstalk pulp in MD and CD directions are respectively 41 and 19 compared to 23* and 8* for wood pulp. Since wood pulp is too weak to fold under 1 kg tension, 0.5 kg tension was applied. 8* is actually equivalent to 1 number of fold and 23* is equivalent to only 8 number of fold, if measured under 1 kg tension.
