Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A process is provided for reducing the emission of volatile alcohols and sulphur compounds during the evaporation of black liquor in several effects in the sulphate cellulose process.
  • the liquor in those effects which are working with the most diluted liquor is evaporated in two or more steps on the same pressure level.
  • the liquor is carried through the steps in series, the vapours obtained from these steps are condensed and at least a part of the condensates obtained are reintroduced into the process or purified by means of distillation.
  • the present invention relates to a process for the effective and economical evaporation of volatile alcohols and sulphur compounds, which are transformed into the condensate phase in the course of the evaporation of black liquor from the Kraft pulping process, and which cause water pollution by their high oxygen consumption in the course of biological degradation, when they are discharged to the surrounding water system through the outlet of the plant.
  • Black liquor is a water solution containing partly organic material-mainly lignin, hemicellulose and alcohols-and partly inorganic material-mainly carbonate-, sulphide-, sulphate-and chlorideas well as sodiumand potassium ions'which solution usually has a dry content of 15-20 percent.
  • volatile sulphurv compounds such as hydrogen sulphide, methyl mercaptan, dimethylsulphide and dimethyl disulphide and volatile alcohols, such as methanol and ethanol.
  • Table l exemplifies the quantities of such compounds that can beevaporated in the course of a normal black liquor evaporation in five stages with about 15 percent initial dry content and about 58 percent final dry content, and a fresh steam pressure of 4 atm and 0.4 atm in the end condenser.
  • the liquor is introduced in effect 111, for example at about 90C, and is then transported with self pressure via effect W at for example 80C to effect V, which is working at the lowest temperature, for example 65C, and is then preheated stepwise and introduced in effect I, which is working at the highest temperature, for example 125C, and is finally drawn off as thick liquor with 56-65 percent dry content from effect ll at for example 105C.
  • Steam is supplied from the outside with for example 3.5 atm pressure to effect I, whereas vapour of the liquor leaving effect I is transferred with slightly .lower pressure, for instance 2.5 atm, to effect ll and so on, so that finally the liquor vapour from effect V has to be drawn off under vacuum on a pressure level of for instance 0.2 atm.
  • the amounts of evaporated volatile compounds may be distributed according to Table ll.
  • Table ll Evaporated volatile compounds per ton of pulp Alcohols it is known that the greater amount of the volatile sulphur compounds can be separated and made useful by means of absorption with alkali (Swedish patent specification No. 226 789). By this, however, only the acid components in the evaporation vapours, that is H S and to a certain extent mercaptans, are collected and the biological oxygen consumption of the condensates is still high, mainly depending on their high methanol content. Methanol and ethanolcan, as is well known, easily be separated practically completely from water by distillation in a column provided with a dephlegmator. Since the alcohol content in the totally collected condensates is low, according to Table ll only about 0.1 g.
  • the steam consumption of such a distillation will be very high, presumably about 1.5 tons per ton of pulp. This makes it desirable to separate the condensates from the different effects, whereby for instance the steam consumption may be brought down to about 40 percent, if only thetwo strongest condensates are treated, at which the coefficient of utilization will be about 75 percent.
  • the cost of steam for distillation will, however, still be very high, especially since the heat content of the steam supplied at normal distillation only can be recovered in the. form of hot water from the dephlegmator of the distillation column, which cannot be further utilized in the process.
  • the present invention relates to a process for reducing the emission of volatile alcohols and sulphur compounds in the course of the evaporation of black liquor in several effects in the sulphate cellulose process, which does not show the above disadvantages.
  • the liquor is evaporated in those effects, which work with the most diluted liquor in two or more steps on the same pressure level, through which the liquor is conducted in series/vapours obtained from these steps are condensed and the condensates obtained are returned to the process or purified by distillation.
  • This technique can be used with the same good result in subsequent effects as long as the amount of methanol remaining in the liquor is of any technical importance from environment control point of view.
  • the amount of condensate that shall be further treated or returned to the process can thus be decreased with about percent by a two-step evaporation, about 13 percent by three-step evaporation etc.
  • the table shows that it is possible to adjust the different condensate fractions at partial condensation so that a suitably high content of methanol will be obtained in the fraction, which shall be subjected to distillation.
  • stepwise condensation one can thus concentrate the amount of methanol into a smaller volume of condensate than the volume which is obtained at condensation in only one step. If one for example can allow oneself to discharge 8 percent of the amount of methanol without any treatment to the outlet, the amount of condensate, which has to be further treated or returned to the process, can according to the table be reduced to 60 percent of the amount of condensate obtained at condensation'in only one step.
  • a further reduction in steam consumption for the stripping of methanol and other oxygen-consuming compounds can according to the invention be obtained, if one utilizes the heat content of the vapour used for evaporation in a more qualified way than to prepare hot water in the dephlegmator (reflux apparatus) of the distillation column.
  • the economy of the evaporation process will thus be substantially improved, if the evaporation (stripping) column is connected to the evaporation system, in such a way that the dephlegmation is carried out in some of the heat exchangers of the evaporation plant.
  • a suitable way of carrying out the invention is to let vapour from a distillation column without any separate dephlegmator condense in the evaporator of the first effect, which will serve as a dephlegmator. At this the liquor is brought to boiling in the same way as when fresh steam is supplied to this evaporation apparatus.
  • the distillation column is placed on a lower pressure level at which liquor vapour from the first or the second effect, poor in methanol, is supplied to the column and methanol-containing vapour leaves the column and is transferred to the evaporators of the second respectively the third effect.
  • the condensate obtained from these evaporators is returned to the column, whereas the methanol-rich vapour leaving the evaporators is led via a pressure-regulating valve to combustion or to a rectifier column for the preparation of pure methanol.
  • the working pressure in the top of the column may vary between 0.5 and 4.0 atm. A closer description of the way of connecting the column is given in the working examples.
  • the intermediate liquor is preheated successively with evaporation vapours drawn off from the heat exchangers of the effects, in separate heat exchangers which work at lower temperature than the corresponding effects, and is introduced in the liquor compartment of the first effect.
  • Those two effects which work with the highest liquor concentration, usually effect I and effect ll, are optionally provided with divided liquor compartments or two evaporators working parallelly on the steam side.
  • the intermediate liquor is introduced in one of two halves of the divided liquor compartments of the first effect, or in one of the two parallelly working evaporators in the first effect and is then transported with self pressure to the corresponding parts of the second effect.
  • the liquor is transported, also with self pressure, to effect ill in the plant, after which the liquor is taken out as a thickened intermediate liquor having a dry content, which is suitable at this temperature, namely 22-30 percent.
  • lf effect lll comprises several evaporators, the liquor may be conducted either in parallel or in series through these.
  • the thickened intermediate liquor is after preheating brought to pass the second half of the divided liquor compartment respectively the second evaporator in effect I and thereafter the corresponding parts of II, after which the liquor is taken out'as thick liquor having a dry content of 55-65 percent at a temperature of l1l0C.
  • the washing according to the invention is especially effective because of the fact that the intermediate liquor used has a lower dry content than is normal. Because of the fact that the intermediate liquor used for the washing of effect I is evaporated at a high temperature in said effect its liquor vapour can after condensation in a subsequent step be subjected to a number of expansions to the lowest pressure level, for instance vacuum, and thereby be freed from the main part of its methanol content.
  • the liquor circulation scheme described above requires greater amounts of stripping vapour from the heat exchangers of the effects for the liquor preheating than the normal liquor circulation scheme III-IV-V-I-II. Because of this fact more methanol is transferred to the secondary condensates of these vapours and the methanol content of this secondary condensates can optionally be recovered by stripping in a distillation column, .whereas the primary condensates from the effects II, III and IV may be left untreated. Through this one obtains the advantage that a smaller'amount of impure condensate has to be distilled than is the case at normal liquor circulation.
  • EXAMPLE 1 In a five-effect plant with the normal liquor circulation IlI-IV-V-I-II (cf. FIG. l) 200 m of black liquor I were evaporated. The black liquor had a concentration corresponding to a dry solids content of 15 percent by weight at entry and the final concentration after the evaporation was 60 percent by weight, which corresponded to a total evaporation of 150 tons of water per hour. The plant was so constructed that the liquor was evaporated in each of the effects III, IV and V in two steps, at which the liquor vapours from .both the steps in one effect went to the common vapour compartment of the next effect.

  • the evaporation is carried out in one step, whereas it is done in two steps in the effects III, IV and V, at which the liquor vapours from the two steps in one effect are led to the common vapour compartment of the boiler part of the next effect.
  • the liquor, which for instance shall be evaporated in effect I enters from below into the boiler compartment 1 of the effect and is carried in boiler tubes 2 to a separating compartment 3 provided with separating devices 4.
  • the evaporated liquor is separated in the separating compartment 3 from the stripped vapours and leaves through the tube 6 to the boiler compartment of the next effect.
