Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for feeding chemicals into a process liquid flow.
  • An application of a preferred embodiment of the method and the apparatus of the present invention is feeding retention chemical/chemicals together with an additive, which may be another chemical or for example a mineral, to paper pulp suspension flow to be fed to a paper machine.
  • the method and the apparatus of the invention are particularly well applicable in feeding an additive of the paper manufacture, such as filler, together with a retention chemical, to paper pulp essentially simultaneously.
  • Retention chemicals are chemical agents the purpose of which is to bind various substances carried by the paper pulp suspension either to each other or especially to the fibers of the paper pulp so that the substances in question would remain in the product to be manufactured, the so-called web and would not be flushed away from it when the paper web is dewatered at the wire section of the paper machine.
  • An operating principle of the retention chemicals is based on the electric charge typical of the particles in paper pulp.
  • the situation can be corrected by feeding to the paper pulp retention chemical which has a positive specific charge and which thus adheres both to the fibers and to the additive/filler in question thus binding them to each other.
  • Performed tests have further shown that the longer the retention chemical is in contact with for example the fibers the weaker its retention ability becomes. This is believed to be due to the feature that the electric charge of the fiber attracts all the time the retention chemical molecule so that with time practically the whole molecule rests against the fiber whereby the internal electric charge of the retention chemical is in a way discharged to the fiber and the substance is left without a charge or in the worst case adopts the charge of the fiber.
  • the additive/filler does not then even try anymore to get in touch with the retention chemical but stays free in the paper pulp suspension.
  • the retention chemicals are in most cases understood to be cationic or anionic acryl amid copolymers. These have been found to improve efficiently the retention of fines in the paper formation.
  • alternative substances and additives which may also be used to improve the retention.
  • the purpose of the retention chemical is, in addition to retaining for example the fillers in the web, also to maintain adequate tidiness of the paper machine, to provide uniform quality in the Z direction of the web, and to ensure infiltration ability.
  • the retention chemicals play a central role in the paper manufacture and the quality of the end product. For example an excessive dose of the retention chemical results in flocks in the end product which are seen as uneven quality of the product. Thus, the aim is to dose only the necessary amount of the retention chemical in order to achieve the goals described above, and not more.
  • some chemicals such as ASA (explained later) used as an adhesive require a relatively high retention chemical dose whereby a homogenous mixing of the chemical to the paper pulp is naturally of primary importance.
  • ASA which is not retained in the fibers, is hydrolyzed during the process and the hydrolyzed ASA is detrimental to sizing and causes agglomeration in the process. ASA should be fed into the process by mixing it as efficiently as possible close to the headbox.
  • Cationic starch is adsorbed unevenly to adsorbents of different type. It is adsorbed to adsorbents with a large specific area, such as fillers and fines, more strongly than to fibers. Yet, the influence of starch is different in fibers and in fines. In order to avoid uneven distribution of the starch, it should be added as dilute as possible in a position where the mixing is good.
  • retention chemicals are for example alum, PAC, polyethylenes and polyamines.
  • the retention takes place either as a mechanical or a chemical retention where the basic idea is to change the charge of the additional chemicals so that they would be adsorbed to the fiber as efficiently as possible.
  • the charge changes while the process proceeds which may cause dissolving of the flocks which have already been formed and thus result in weakening of the efficiency of the chemical and thus overdosing.
  • fine mineral products are usually meant the size of which in most cases is 0.5-5.0 ⁇ m.
  • the most important fillers are calcium carbonate and kaolin. Sometimes also titanium dioxide is classified a filler although its particle size is smaller (for example 200-300 nm) and the price very high compared for instance to calcium carbonate. Also talc is sometimes used as a filler. It is characteristic of most of the fillers that they are brought to the paper mill in powder or sludge form.
  • PCC precipitated calcium carbonate
  • PCC precipitated calcium carbonate
  • the starting material is often lime stone which in most cases is calcined to CaO.
  • water is added to the lime in order to produce lime milk Ca(OH) 2 , after which carbon dioxide CO 2 is added as bubbles to the lime milk.
  • the crystal form of the forming PCC particles can be controlled by using different temperatures in the manufacture.
  • the PCC produced in the mill usually has a weak cationic colloidal charge whereas dried PCC has a negative (anionic) charge.
  • the purpose of the fillers is to fill the paper, in particular in situations where the paper must have high brightness.
  • a certain type of PCC is used when a particularly high opacity and precise thickness of the paper is desired.
  • the use of PCC as a filler is very much similar to that of the other calcium carbonate products.
  • the fact that PCC is weakly cationic while the other minerals are anionic, must, however, be taken into account in view of the retention. Carefully planned retention systems, however, work with calcium carbonate fillers of both the types.
  • PCC and an adhesive such as AKD (explained later)
  • AKD adhesive
  • a colloidal material such as for example starch can coat the PCC particles whereby the AKD in turn adheres better to the starch.
  • fillers used are for example titanium dioxide, magnesium carbonate, calcium sulphate, barium sulphate, sodium silicate, aluminium trihydrate, magnesium hydroxide, or a combination of these.
  • the purpose of the starch solution is to coat the ASA droplets so that they would not at once contact water.
  • Prior art suggests adding the ASA emulsion at a position after the vortex cleaner in the short circulation, in other words the region preceding degassing and the headbox feed pump.
  • the cationic starch coating around the ASA droplets to some extent contributes to the attaching of the adhesive to the fibers, an efficient retention system is still needed to retain the adhesive quickly in the web to be produced. Immediate retention is important as the adhesive is in any case bound to the fines and filler and if it does not retain in the web, it ends up in the water circulations and becomes hydrolysed. Hydrolyzed ASA in turn can cause flocks, running problems and deterioration of sizing.
  • AKD is alkaline and manufactured synthetically of fatty acids.
  • the most common form is a wax-like solid substance, which is dispersed in small particles in a solution containing a stabilizer.
  • the stabilizer can be a cationic starch or any other cationic polyelectrolyte.
  • AKD has a much less reactive character than ASA.
  • the paper produced is hydrophobic whereby typical end products are among other things various liquid containers and ink jet papers. The use of AKD is particularly recommended in situations where the paper should withstand moisture for long periods of time.
  • AKD is brought to the mill as a milky emulsion, whereby its use is fairly easy. As the reactivity of AKD is weaker compared to ASA, its use is also more flexible. Many paper manufacturers add AKD to high consistency pulp, in other words before dilution of the pulp to a consistency suitable for the headbox. In this way the AKD is brought to the surface of the fibers. On the other hand, if AKD is dosed to a pulp in a consistency suitable for the headbox it is justified to assume that it adheres mostly to the fines. If PCC is present it can decrease the efficiency of the adhesive and also with time reduce the effect of the adhesion for example during storage.
  • micro particles are for example colloidal silica, bentonite and some organic compounds which are used for the same purpose. All the micro particles commercially available at the moment have a negative colloidal charge and their specific area is very large. Micro particles are used to improve the dewatering properties of the fiber web. Usually they are added to the paper pulp after the cationic polyacrylic amide or cationic starch used as the retention chemical. In other words the polyacrylic amide or the starch is at first allowed to flocculate the fibers and the micro particles are added only after that to the paper pulp. The adding usually takes place to the headbox feed duct after the machine screen.
  • the distance is meant which the chemical or the corresponding substance needs to be mixed essentially homogenously to the pulp.
  • an efficient mixing device it is on the order of 1.5-2 seconds during which time, and also along the corresponding distance, the chemical is homogenously mixed to the pulp.
  • Chemicals used as paper additives are usually dosed in very small volumes. Feeding a small volume to a large volume homogenously is not successful if as efficient mixing as possible is not guaranteed at the feeding moment. If the mixing is poor, the chemical gets in contact with a small portion of the pulp suspension, only, and a remarkable portion of the pulp suspension remains without the chemical which is seen as variations in the properties of the end product.
  • both the various paper pulp fiber fractions and the additives, fillers, adhesives etc. required in the paper manufacture are brought to a mixing tank in the so-called short circulation.
  • a part of the retention chemical/chemicals has/have conventionally been introduced to the mixing tank.
  • the paper pulp is efficiently mixed so that both the different fibers and the various additives are mixed homogenously and the consistency of the suspension formed of these is adjusted to a desirable level.
  • the paper pulp is pumped by means of the headbox feed pump towards the head box in most cases via vortex cleaning, gas separation and a headbox screen or the so-called machine screen. Both the feed pump in question and the headbox screen mix the pulp further, in other words they keep the paper pulp as homogenous as possible. I most cases a retention chemical is fed to the paper pulp after the headbox screen with the intention to ensure the retention of a certain or some additive/s, filler/s or adhesive/s of the paper pulp in the paper machine wire section.
  • a very weak additive retention has been found to be a problem in the prior art short circulation process.
  • the additive retention (so-called first pass retention) was found to be in a conventional process arrangement on the order of five percent. In other words only five percent of the additive in the paper pulp remained in the web produced while the rest ended up in to the white water and the filtrates of the press section. However, these filtrates are recycled to the manufacture of paper pulp, whereby the additives which were not retained can end up in the paper machine but it is quite as well possible that they in several other connections end up in the reject.
  • additive In a conventional process the additive is added to the mixing tank where also the white water and other usable filtrates are brought and from which the paper pulp is pumped via a vortex cleaning plant and a headbox screen to the headbox of the paper machine.
  • both the vortex cleaning plant and the headbox screen reject some of the paper pulp which always contains also some additive.
  • Additives can also be different in reactivity and thus they can for example be hydrolyzed and precipitated at a point in the process which results both in an additive loss and problems in the process both because of fouling and detaching of the deposits which takes place from time to time.
  • a mechanical mixer still has other weaknesses. These are for example the high price and the high operating costs because a mixer capable of mixing the chemicals homogenously over the whole diameter of the headbox feed pipe is large and it consumes a huge amount of energy while performing the mixing action. Further, the installation of the mechanical mixer to the pipelines and the drive motor on a stand of its own and constructing the electrical connections required involves a lot of work and supplies. For example installation to an existing paper machine requires that stands are built on the floor of the mill for the mixer and its drive.
  • a further requirement is that the headbox feed duct is cut and a piece of it cut out so that flanges can be welded in the remaining ends of the duct if reductions or expansions are not needed for the flanges of the mixer, which would further encumber the work.
  • the mixer can then be installed between these flanges.
  • the apparatus in question thus comprises a pipe replacing a part of the paper pulp feed duct, inside of which pipe there are arranged a number of contoured members, so-called turbulence elements.
  • the retention chemical is fed in connection with the elements mentioned so that turbulence created in the flow by the contoured members is supposed to mix the chemical evenly to the paper pulp.
  • the apparatus is in particular used in the feeding of a two-component retention chemical to a paper pulp flow.
  • the apparatus may be used also in feeding other chemical or additives to a paper pulp.
  • the contoured member has several feed openings all of which can be used for feeding the same substance/chemical or some opening for feeding another substance/chemical.
  • the apparatus in question is mentioned to achieve a very gentle mixing which for example does not break the weak molecular chains of the polymer-type retention chemicals as badly as other prior art apparatus.
  • the gentle nature of the chemical feed is among other things ensured by actually not spraying the chemical to the paper pulp flow but by just allowing them to flow to the paper pulp flow duct at a pressure only that much higher than the process pressure that the feed flow is in general possible.
  • the practise has shown that the turbulence created by the contoured members is in most cases too weak to mix the chemicals homogenously to the paper pulp flow. This is revealed among other things by the paper web being produced by the paper machine, in the quality of which there have been found fluctuations which cannot be explained otherwise.
  • the reason can be for example that it is not possible to provide in a sensible way in the headbox feed duct a duct section containing the turbulence elements that would be long enough. Further problems may be the flow resistance caused by the turbulence elements, which changes the power requirement of the headbox feed pump and possibly the local pressure fluctuations caused by the elements, which can be reflected up to the headbox.
  • the operation of the apparatus in question is based on spraying by means of a feed liquid the retention chemical to the paper pulp flow duct through one or several nozzles located at the periphery of the flow duct, whereby the high speed of the feed liquid causes the retention chemical to spread in a fan-like spray throughout the whole paper pulp volume flowing in the duct.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to solve for example the following problems
  • the feed liquid jet typical of the apparatus in question firstly mixes the chemical and/or additives fed with it homogenously to each other already at the spraying stage so that it is justified to speak about two almost simultaneous mixings. Firstly, the chemicals and/or additives supplied with the jet are mixed both with each other and with the solids and/or chemicals possibly carried by the feed liquid. And secondly, simultaneously with the mixing in question the feed liquid jet spreads evenly the material fed to the paper pulp flowing to the headbox.
  • several feeding apparatus are provided at the periphery of the paper pulp flow duct if necessary.
  • the retention chemical and the filler may be and advantageously is fed by means of the same feeding apparatus to the paper pulp.
  • the adhesive and the starch/polymer may be introduced via the same feeding apparatus and the retention chemical via another feeding apparatus a little later; in practice this distance in the paper pulp flow direction need not be more than about two meters.
  • the method and the apparatus of the invention are applicable in all processed where various chemicals must be introduced.
  • fiber suspension processes of paper mills thickening processes of various sludges, recycled fiber processes and bleaching processes may be mentioned, and in general processes where it is necessary to feed chemical to a filtrate, fiber suspension, sludge or a corresponding medium.

  • Both flow paths 94 and 96 have been provided with flow regulation devices 98 and 100 , preferably valves, as naturally has been done also with all the liquid connections of all the previous embodiments although this has not been illustrated in FIGS. 2 a and 2 b.
  • the flow pipe 96 functions the way already presented before, but it is now possible to introduce into the inner pipe 92 of the member 80 e.g.
  • the flow path in question is used in feeding so-called mixing liquid to the apparatus, the liquid being discharged to the chemical to be fed essentially at the same time as the chemical is discharge to the feed liquid and further to the pulp flow. It is of course possible, if it is desirable to use the mixing liquid mentioned to dilute the chemical, to arrange the inner pipe 92 to end at a distance from the opening 58 whereby the mixing liquid has some time to dilute the chemical.
  • a retention chemical component if desired, especially in case of a retention chemical containing several components.
  • a short-chained retention chemical might be mentioned, in case the retention chemical is formed of a long-chained and a short-chained chemical. In that case, the long-chained chemical is supplied tangentially into the member 80 through the conduit 56 illustrated earlier in FIGS. 2 a and 2 b.
  • Fl patent application 2003051 illustrated a further prior art feeding apparatus which is to a large extent based on the basic structure of a feeding apparatus illustrated already in FIG. 2 c.
  • the flow paths for different liquids have been designed in a slightly different way and particularly the structure of the feed end of the inner duct, in this case the dilution liquid feed duct (corresponds to the duct 92 and its feed end in FIG. 2 c ) is clearly different from the ones disclosed earlier.
  • the feed end of the duct is actually closed but there are a number of nozzle openings provided at the sides of the duct through which the dilution liquid to be introduced from the duct can be discharged evenly all around to the feed liquid flowing at a high speed outside the duct.
  • the basic idea in the use of the nozzle openings is to spray and mix the chemical coming from the feed duct (corresponds to member 80 in FIG. 2 c ) outside the feed duct mentioned (corresponds to duct 92 in FIG. 2 c ) efficiently to the feeding liquid coming from a duct surrounding the chemical feed duct, just before the feeding liquid with the substance added to it is in turn mixed efficiently and smoothly to the paper pulp or corresponding material flowing in the flow duct.
  • Fl patent application no. 20031468 further discloses a prior art feeding device which differs from the apparatus presented in the earlier embodiments in that at the end of the feeding apparatus flow duct, corresponding to the member 80 in FIG. 2 c, facing the paper pulp feeding duct there is disposed a space into which the chemical to be supplied in small volumes is introduced via a central duct. Now the chemical is thus introduced via the innermost duct and the dilution liquid via the duct located next in the direction towards the periphery.
  • the space in question is defined by the duct bringing the dilution liquid from the outside so, that the duct in question is practically closed.
  • the innermost duct bringing the chemical extends close to the closed end of the dilution liquid duct so that the chemical, while flowing from its duct under pressure against the end of the dilution liquid, spreads homogenously to the space where also the dilution liquid is introduced.
  • the chemical is distributed to the dilution liquid after which the mixture produced is discharged via the openings provided in the side surface of the dilution liquid duct to the feed liquid flowing outside preferably at a high speed.
  • all the feeding apparatus ducts mentioned above have been provided with regulating valves so that each flow can be adjusted independently irrespective of the other flows.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a process arrangement which the invention tries to apply as efficiently as possible.
  • FIG. 3 correspond otherwise to FIG. 1 but here only fiber fractions 14 are fed to the mixing tank/wire pit 20 and the additives of the paper manufacture are fed by means of apparatus 34 after the headbox screen 32 .
  • the apparatus 34 must be understood in a very broad way. It may also denote several apparatus disposed at a distance from each other both in the peripheral and in the longitudinal direction of the duct. The most essential thing, however, is that an essential portion of the additives 38 - 42 , preferably all of them, are introduced to the paper pulp after the headbox screen.
  • so-called filler is introduced via the feeding connection mentioned, which may be titanium dioxide, talc, kaolin, calcined kaolin, calcium carbonate, PCC, magnesium carbonate, calcium sulphate, barium sulphate, sodium silicate, aluminium trihydrate, magnesium hydroxide or a combination of these.
  • ASA adhesive, AKD adhesive or corresponding substance is fed in via the connection mentioned.
  • the process of the invention can be used for feeding two or multicomponent chemicals to the paper pulp, such as retention chemicals which are for example composed of a micro particle component and a polymer component.
  • Micro particles are for example colloidal silicon or bentonite. All the substances mentioned above are below generally called additives.
  • the feeding connection may be positioned at a suitable location in the casing of the feeding device, preferably tangentially in relation to the casing either in the same or in the opposite direction compared to the retention chemical feeding duct already earlier in the device.
  • it may also be arranged in connection with the duct bringing feed liquid to the feeding apparatus close to the feeding apparatus.
  • the maximum distance from the feeding apparatus depends on the chemical introduced via the connection in question and on the feeding liquid used. In other words if it is desirable for one reason or another not to allow the chemical and the liquid to contact each other before the actual mixing to the paper pulp the chemical must be introduced as late as possible to the feeding liquid. In practice it is, however, simplest to arrange the connection mentioned in the casing of the feeding apparatus whereby the feed liquid line leading to the feeding apparatus does not need any T-connections.
  • the feeding liquid coming to the apparatus from above can be paper pulp taken via a branch pipe from the flow duct leading to the headbox, white water, or a filtrate suitable for this purpose or even clean water.
  • the retention chemical is fed to the feeding liquid via the first connection and the additive mentioned above via another connection so that in practise they can contact each other only inside the feeding apparatus just before the feeding liquid jet penetrates to the paper pulp flowing in the flow duct.
  • the actual mixing does not take place until while spraying both the retention chemical and the additive mentioned with the feeding liquid to the flow duct.
  • test 1 test 2 test 3 test 4 TiO 2 feed g/ton 25 25 20 20 Opacity 91.7 91.5 92.0 92.3
  • Tests 1 and 2 relate to a conventional method where the filler is fed to the paper pulp already in the wire pit or in the headbox feed pump.
  • Tests 3 and 4 on the other hand relate to a method according to the invention where the filler is introduced to the paper pulp substantially at the same time as the retention chemical and is mixed to the paper pulp by means of a strong feeding liquid jet close to the headbox after the machine screen.
  • the table indicates that when 20 g/ton of titanium dioxide is fed by the method of the invention, in other words 5 grams, i.e. 20 percent less than in the conventional method, the opacity readings were in fact higher than with the conventional process using more filler. It is also possible to calculate from the opacity readings obtained in the tests, which filler feed amount would, using the method of the invention, give the same average opacity values as the ones in tests 1 and 2. The calculation indicates that a dose of 15 g/ton is adequate, which in practise corresponds to a 40 percent smaller filler feed amount when using the method of the invention, compared with the conventional method.
  • the process of the invention save the additive, in this case titanium dioxide, i.e. the opacity pigment.
  • titanium dioxide i.e. the opacity pigment.
  • the explanation is believed to be that when earlier the filler was dosed in the mixing tank or a corresponding member to the paper pulp and the retention chemical either at the same time to the same mixing tank or, as another alternative somewhere around the headbox screen to the pulp, the retention chemical came in both cases into contact mainly with the fibers whereby most of the retention chemical was consumed in binding the fibers to each other and a smaller portion of the chemical was left free for the filler.
  • the retention chemical and the filler are now fed in one turbulent jet to the paper pulp the retention chemical molecules and the filler particles have a better chance of meeting each other. Then a greater part of the filler particles can adhere to the retention chemical which in turn adheres to the fibers whereby the filler retention as a whole improves essentially.
  • connection for feeding the second chemical may be located as in the feeding apparatus of FIG. 2 a.
  • the feeding connection of the second chemical is located at the side of the feeding apparatus; via this connection the additives mentioned above or combinations of them can be fed to the feeding apparatus.
  • a second connection for the chemical if the chemical allows it, can be provided already on the side of the feeding duct attached to the flange and bringing feeding liquid to the feeding apparatus.
  • Another alternative of introducing additional chemical is to arrange another feed connection for another chemical inside the inner member of the feeding apparatus whereby two different chemicals are brought at the same time inside the member. This can be done if the contact between the chemicals does not disturb their reactions.
  • the way can very well be applied for example in feeding ASA adhesive and starch or ASA adhesive and polymer solution. When feeding these, is can even be thought that the starch or polymer solution is fed to the ASA immediately before the ASA arrives to the feeding device.
  • Another possible way is to divide the inner member for example with an axial plane in two whereby two different chemicals can be fed irrespective of each other via the member.
  • a third possible way of feeding a second chemical is to introduce it via the central and innermost duct illustrated in FIG. 2 c either as a mere chemical or as mixed into a suitable feeding/dilution liquid or a corresponding medium.
  • FIG. 4 A preferred method according to the invention is illustrated in FIG. 4 which applied the simple feeding device described in the US patent mentioned above.
  • the feeding apparatus illustrated in FIG. 4 is composed in principle of a feeding apparatus 34 according to FIG. 2 b, why not also according to FIG. 2 a, and a feeding connection 68 disposed upstream of it in the wall of the flow duct 70 leading to the paper machine headbox.
  • the second chemical is fed via the feeding connection 68 to the flow duct 70 with such a small pressure difference that it hardly can assume its flow space against the wall of the flow duct 70 .
  • the chemical flows along the wall of the flow duct 70 where there is at a short distance from the feed connection 68 of the second chemical provided a feeding apparatus 34 via which the second chemical and the feeding liquid are sprayed to the paper pulp flowing in the flow duct. While the second chemical flows to the strong feeding liquid jet discharging from the feeding device it spreads efficiently and homognously to the paper pulp quite as if it had been fed from the feeding apparatus 34 itself the way illustrated in the previous figures.
  • the apparatus of FIG. 4 can still be simplified so that it is used to feed one chemical, only, whereby only the so-called feeding liquid is brought to the feeding apparatus and the chemical or corresponding additive is introduced upstream of the feeding apparatus from which the chemical flow travelling with the paper pulp flow is fed to the paper pulp in the way described in connection with FIG. 4 .
  • Both the feeding apparatus illustrated by using figures illustrating prior art, and the feeding apparatus described in FIG. 4 can be used also in the feeding of, among other things, chemicals, such as for example retention chemicals, micro particles, fillers, binding agents, adhesive, optical brighteners, paper dyes, and silicates, to the flowing process liquid, only to mention a few chemicals.
  • chemicals such as for example retention chemicals, micro particles, fillers, binding agents, adhesive, optical brighteners, paper dyes, and silicates
  • titanium dioxide and some other suitable flocking chemical carried by the mixing liquid to the apparatus should be mentioned as an example of the first chemical to be fed.
  • Another alternative is to feed silicate as the chemical and a filler, for example titanium dioxide, with the mixing liquid.
  • Still a third alternative is to feed ASA adhesive as the chemical and bentonite in the mixing liquid.
  • the feed liquid by means of which a chemical is supplied to the process liquid can be the same fiber suspension, into which the chemical is to be fed.
  • various filtrates or corresponding media or mere fresh water are suitable for use as the feed liquid in the apparatus of the publication.
  • the method of the invention utilizes the feeding device described in the U.S. Pat. No. 6,659,636 above. It is simplest to think the feeding apparatus in question to comprise three feeding ducts one inside the other. The so-called mixing liquid is conventionally fed to the paper pulp flow via the innermost of these, the chemical via the one in the middle and the feeding liquid via the outermost duct. Now according to the method of the invention, in addition to the conventional chemical, chemicals can be fed for example as follows:
