Definitions

  • cellulosic matter may be bisulfite pulp or kraft chemical pulp. It has unexpectedly been found that when such a pretreated pulp, e.g. a chlorinated and washed pulp, is mixed rapidly with an aqueous solution of an alkali, e.g.
  • sodium hydroxide at a particularly defined concentration correlated to the Kappa number of the pulp and being within the range of about 0.5% by weight, the mixing being conducted at a consistency of up to about 12%, preferably at about 4% to about 12%, at a temperature of from about 40 to about 90C., preferably at a temperature of from about 60C to about 80C., and is substantially immediately thereafter pressed to a pulp consistency of from about 18% to about 40%, preferably to a consistency of from about 20 to about then a single extraction treatment is as effective as conventional alkaline extraction (at to C. for 1 hour), in reducing the Kappa No. of a chlorinated pulp to similar levels.
  • the procedure also is effective in the neutralization step between two or more oxidation stages. Little or no washing with water is necessary following an alkaline extraction by the process according to this invention.
  • Bleaching is a continuation of the cooking process in which the ligneous material and colouring matter which remain in the chemical pulp are removed selectively with as little degradation of the pulp fibre as possible.
  • Bleaching of the pulp has advanced to a high degree of sophistication involving single-stage and multistage procedures.
  • Bleaching of a chemical pulp is accomplished in several stages. As known in the art, a stage constitutes a phase starting with the addition and reaction of a chemical with a pulp and ends with the washing of the pulp.
  • the selection of a proper number of stages, and hence the desired sequence is determined by (a) the nature of the fibre to be bleached (softwood or hardwood), (b) the pulping process which was applied (acid, neutral or alkaline), and (c) whether the pulp is to be used for the manufacture of paper-making grades of pulp, or the manufacture of dissolving pulps.
  • the first step usually consists of treating pulp in aqueous suspension with chlorine solution in the aqueous phase; an aqueous solution of chlorine dioxide may be used either in admixture with the chlorine or in replacement of the chlorine in this first stage. It is also known that, by use of a high consistency, gas phase bleaching technique, pulp at a high consistency (about to about 60%) and in comminuted form, can be reacted with gaseous chlorine, chlorine monoxide, chlorine dioxide, ozone-peroxides and oxides of nitrogen.
  • reaction products resulting from chlorination or delignification by oxidative bleaching are removed as they are formed in those operations by means of an alkaline extraction
  • Caustic soda is a preferred agent, but other alkalis (e.g. ammonia, sodium carbonate, calcium hydroxide, etc.) have been suggested and used.
  • This alkaline treatment on pulp is generally carried out in slurry form at low consistencies ranging from about 8 to about 15% and at times varying from about 60 minutes to about 2 hours, and at temperatures ranging from about 40C to about 70C.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic flow diagram of a convention such alkaline extraction.
  • a pulp For dissolving purposes a pulp must be of high purity, (e.g. substantially free from ash, resin and hemicelluloses) and have the right reactivity and viscosity, and an alpha cellulose content in excess of about 91%.
  • These objectives can be obtained by intensifying the alkaline extraction, in two modifications, known as hot caustic purification and cold caustic purification.
  • FIG. 2, to be described later, is a schematic flow diagram of a hot caustic purification
  • FIG. 3, to be described later, is a schematic flow diagram of a cold caustic purification.
  • An object of another aspect of this invention is the provision of such an extraction technique which is ecologically attractive in its conservation of water.
  • An object of a further aspect of this invention is the provision of such an extraction technique in which the extracted pulp is delivered at high consistency suitable for fluffing and treating with the gaseous reagent in the next bleaching stage in the manufacture of papermaking grades of pulp.

The pulp was comminuted into fibre and fibre aggregates using the apparatus described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,630,828 issued Dec. 28, 1971. The pulp was then treated with chlorine gas for 1 minute (4.5% chlorine on oven dried pulp); the pH of the chlorinated pulp was 1.0. The pulp was then diluted to 1% consistency with deionized water and then brought to 30% consistency by pressing.
