Definitions
- This invention pertains to pulping of lignocellulosic materials contained in the stems of vascular plants, and, more specifically, to the pulping of wood whereby syngeristically coacting liquor components are used to defiber cellulosic fibers with heretofore unobtaiued yield.
- this invention pertains to pulping of softwoods and hardwoods by means of an organic peroxygen solution which has been modified by the addition of chlorine dioxide. The products of the process are within the scope of the invention.
- Conventional wood pulping methods may be divided into two general classes: first, those dependent upon the reaction between lignin and sulfite solution in which the solubilization of lignin is accomplished by sulfonation and cleavage of the lignin molecule.
- the second class consists of the methods dependent upon reaction of lignin with alkali, preferably in the presence of sodium sulfide with solubilization resulting from highly polar groups of the lignin moiety so for-med.
- the chemical reactions in conventional pulping are carried out under rather drastic conditions of temperature, pressure and time.
- the normal conditions are 140 C. to 160 C., 90 to 110 p.s.i. and 6 to 10 hours.
- the normal conditions are 170 C. to 176 C., 100 to 135 psi and 2 to 4 hours.
- the present invention may be better understood by referring to the major components of wood and the stems of other vascular plants. These components are cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Cellulose component of wood is most resistant to chemical attack. In general, this greater resistance is the basis of present pulping methods. In order to loosen and disintegrate the wood structure, the removal of lignin is normally essential. However, the lignin component, if it could be rendered useful in paper manufacture would give higher yields.
- the hemicellulose component of the wood is a polysacice charide and is a colorless material similar to cellulose except for being more swellable in water. It is acceptable as an ingredient of paper pulp and for some purposes it has superior paper-making properties.
- the novel and surprising feature resides in the observation that exposure of wood, and especially softwood, to relatively small quantities of an oxidizing agent, such as organic peroxide compound in combination with a synergistically coacting chlorine dioxide, results in yields up to 89% based on wood and active oxygen consumption of less than that when either an organic peroxide or chlorine dioxide is used to defiber cellulose to a given and equal percent yield when employing either of the components by itself. Moreover, the novel results are achieved with reduced liquor-towood ratios.
- an oxidizing agent such as organic peroxide compound in combination with a synergistically coacting chlorine dioxide
- pulp obtained by the novel process is a chemical pulp and will likewise. use an insignificant amount of energy to liberate the cellulose fibers (when compared to mechanical or semi-chemical pulp). Liberation of the pulp in the present process is accomplished by using a dilute alkali solution on .the treated wood.
- An additional advantage of this process is a by-product which appears to be a dicarboxylic compound in nature, and is believed at this stage to be a muconic acid.
- the novel process described above has been accomplished by impregnating wood chips of the sizes normally employed in commercial pulp processes such as from about 0.05 to about A with a suflicient amount of an aqueous solution containing an organic peroxygen compound and chlorine dioxide.
- an organic peroxygen compound and chlorine dioxide Of the organic compounds, the peracids are preferred. These consist of performic, peracetic, perbutyric and perbenzoic. Of the acids, the peracetic is preferred because of its behavior and exhibited properties.
- a liquor-to-wood ratio of wood on a bone-dry basis is of from about 0.5 to about 1 and up to about to l.
- a preferred liquor-to-wood (L/W) ratio is of from 3:1 to 5:1.
- the chips are brought into contact with a solution under pressure. Thereafter excess liquor is removed to the extent that the liquor-to-wood ratio is reduced to about 1:1, the chips heated for about hour to about 1, or about 50 C. to 90 C., and washed with hot water. The washed chips are then treated with of from 1% to 5% sodium hydroxide solution at about 2:1 up to :1 liquor-to-wood ratios, but preferably at a ratio of from 2:1 to 5:1, for about /2 hour to about 1 /2 hours at a temperature from about 50 C. to about 125 C., preferably about 50 C. Thereafter, the digested chips are disintegrated in a distintegrator to obtain a pulp.
- Peroxygen compounds which are useful in the present process are those that are water soluble and stable or capble of stabilization at up to 50 C., but preferably up to 100 C. and consist generally of alkyl hydroperoxides, alkylperoxides, acyl hydroperoxides, acyl peroxides, acyl alkylperoxides, hydroxy alkylhydroperoxides, hydroxy alkylperoxides, ozonides, oxozonides, and alkylidene peroxides.
- those of short carbon atom chains in the alkyl moiety are preferred and especially those which are stable at the process conditions and in the impregnation environment used, and most preferably, those that have a high percentage of active oxygen in reference to their molecular Weight.
- the acyl hydroperoxides such as the performic, peracetic, perbutyric and perpropionic, pervaleric, percaproic, etc., are the preferred subgroup of compounds. Of these, peracetic acid is the most preferred species.
- the present process sequence is accomplished by the use of a solution of peracetic acid as the preferred species in conjunction with a chlorine dioxide 4 brought up is from about 30 C. to start and about 90 C. at the termination, but preferably at about C. at the termination of the digesting or oxidizing step when this temperature is maintained for about 15 minutes to about 120 minutes.
- a water washing step may follow the oxidizing step.
- an alkaline solution such as a solution of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and the soluble alkaline earth hydroxides may be employed at a concentration of from about 1% to about 5%, but preferably below 3%, to remove the lignin derivative material, e.g., muconic acid and other solubilized inconstants.
- Sodium hydroxide solution is preferred.
- Wood chips derived from softwoods (derived from some gymnosperms) and hardwoods (derived from some angiosperms) are useful in the present process.
- softwoods the coniferous species such as spruce, pine, hemlock, fir, cedar, etc.
- hardwoods those useful in the present pulping process are alder, aspen, beech, oak, gum, birch, etc.
- sodium hydroxide solutions are most suitable.
- Ammonium hydroxide and other alkali hydroxides and their alkaline salts such as sodium carbonate, sodium carbonate, etc., are applicable, but the cost factor and efficiency are not as great.
- Other materials similarly suitable for solubilizing lignin may be used for their specific properties such as ammonium hydroxide, because of its ease of recovery, and other amines for their solubility.
- Example 1 In Table I below, several pulp runs are illustrated using spruce wood in the form of chips. The first cook shows that when using no chlorine dioxide and effecting the cellulose impregnation without it, the total oxygen consumption and the yields are considerably lower when compared with cook No. 6. The same comparison applies when chlorine dioxide is used by itself in cook No. 2. This chlorine dioxide run also illustrates the inherent problems associated with chlorine dioxide solubility. In all the runs, a small amount of mechanical energy is needed to separate the fibers.
- a process for pulping lignincontaining wood chips comprising the steps of:
- step (a) is less than about :1, and wherein the liquor-to-wood ratio in step (c) is less than about 1.6:1.
- the liquors in all of the above cases are black and upon being acidified give a brown precipitate and brown supernatant liquor.
- the precipitate may be obtained by using the washed liquor from the first stage.
- the elfect of chlorine dioxideand peracetic acid results in an increase of pulp yield which is still obtained by a chemical defibering mechanism.
- the consumption of active oxygen to achieve a certain yield is reduced in both the hardwoods and softwoods.
- Novel papers obtained by the present process have the tensile properties depicted in Table I as measured by TAPPI methods T 205 M-58 and T 404 08-61.
- the pulp produced by this process has tensile properties varying with the yield. A very strong sheet can be obtained if the yield is around 70% but a less strong sheet if the yield is 90%. This process has the obvious advantage of yielding pulps of variable strength depending on the operating conditions employed.
- step (c) is in the range from about 0.8:1 to about 1.621.
