Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for preparing kraft pulp. More particularly, the present invention relates to processes for preparing kraft pulp in which cellulosic material is treated with white or fresh liquor for dissolving the lignin therein. The present invention specifically relates to the pretreatment of the lignin-containing material before the lignin digestion step. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
- the kraft process has been developed by means of different technical processing means.
- the need to save energy has led to new solutions, the most important of which have been continuous cooking processes (see, e.g., Finnish Patent No. 54155) .
- the equipment used in such continuous cooking processes can include the use of several co- and countercurrent circulations, as well as separate impregnation vessels.
- impregnating of the cellulosic material with spent alkaline cooking liquor employs liquor having a pH of between about 11.5 and 13.5, and preferably between about 12.5 and 13.5.
- heating of the impregnated cellulosic material is carried out for a period of from about 1 to 30 minutes, whereby the pH of the spent alkaline cooking liquor impregnated into the cellulosic material is decreased to between about 9 and 11, and preferably to between about 9.5 and 10.5.
- the spent and fresh alkaline cooking liquor comprises sodium hydroxide.
- the spent alkaline cooking liquor has a residual sodium hydroxide content of between about 4 and 20 grams of sodium hydroxide per liter, and more preferably between about 6 and 15 grams of sodium hydroxide per liter.
- the step of heating the impregnated cellulosic material is carried out at a temperature of between about 135 and 155'C. Preferably this step is carried out for a period of between about 10 and 30 minutes.
- the cellulosic material is hardwood and the step of delignifying the heated cellulosic material is carried out using an H-factor of between about 900 and 1000, in order to produce a readily fiberized paper pulp.
- the cellulosic material is softwood and the step of delignifying the heated cellulosic material is carried out using an H-factor of between about 400 and 700, in order to produce a readily fiberized paper pulp.
- the step of delignifying the heated cellulosic material is carried out at a temperature of between about 180 and 190 * C.
- the principal advantage of the process of the present invention is that digestion of the lignin with white liquor is greatly facilitated by means of this process. DETAILED DESCRIPTION it is essential that in accordance with the present invention the chips are pretreated with spent cooking liquor, or so-called black liquor. This pretreatment takes place in two steps. In the first step the chips are impregnated with the spent liquor, and in the second step they are reacted with it.
- the chips are essentially filled with the spent liquor.
- the temperature of this impregnation step must be below 100*C in order to avoid reaction therewith on the surface of the chips. In practice temperatures of from about 20 to 100*C can be utilized.
- the time of this impregnation step should be from at least about 10 minutes, and preferably between about 15 and 20 minutes. Impregnation times of more than about 30 minutes are unnecessary.
- the pH of the spent liquor is between about 12.5 and 13.5, and the residual alkali content is from about 4 to 20 g NaOH/1, and preferably between about 6 and 15 g NaOH/1.
- the pretreatment reaction or heating step which follows the impregnation step is carried out at an elevated temperature of from about 120 to 180*C.
- the reaction time depends on the temperature which is utilized, and is generally from about 1 to 30 minutes.
- a reaction temperature of from about 135 to 155*C, and a reaction time of from about 10 to 30 minutes is utilized.
- the residual chemicals in the black liquor react with the wood aterial, and alkali is consumed.
- the pH within the chips is thus decreased to from about 9 to 10.
- H-factor In a normal kraft process of, e.g., Scandinavian softwood, H-factors of from about 1600 to 1800 are required. In the present process, H-factors can be diminished by about 400 to 1000. This means that the overall digestion time can be significantly shortened.
- An additional advantage of the present process is the increased selectivity of the delignification reaction. This, in turn, leads to higher yields and superior pulp quality, or to a lower consumption of cooking chemicals.
- the digestion reaction can now al o be run for a longer period of time, and a lower lignin concentration can thus be achieved than is the case in conventional processes.
- the pulp which is obtained thereby thus requires less bleaching, which, in turn, decreases the amount of harmful compounds which are discharged from the bleach plant into the waste waters therefrom.
- the contents of the digester are heated to a temperature in the range of the reaction temperature in the case of (i) conventional batch processes, by means of the digester circulation being equipped with a heat exchanger, or by direct steam injection, and (ii) in case of low energy batch cooking, using the displacement technique, by displacing the colder impregnation black liquor with hotter black liquor for the purpose of carrying the process heat back to the digester.
- Another embodiment of this invention utilizing batch digesters is to impregnate the chips with the black liquor in the context of chip filling in separate equipment.
- the reaction stage would thus appear as the first step in the digester after chip filling, and could be very effectively carried out by the use of direct steam subsequent to the draining of the impregnation black liquor, or by displacing the impregnation/filling media black liquor by hotter black liquor.
- continuous impregnation is carried out while charging the digester and is combined with batch cooking techniques, thus resulting in (i) compensation for the extra time spent with the black liquor stage, and (ii) reduction of the total cooking cycle time due to the greater speed of the cooking step.
- the present invention can also be carried out in connection with continuous cooking processes.
- the continuous digester -equipment presently being used including separate impregnation vessels and various co- and countercurrent circulations, effectively segregate the cooking process into several steps, in which the present invention can include starting the process with black liquor and without white liquor.
- the chips are fed into the digester or impregnation vessel along with the black liquor, the temperature is elevated to the reaction range by heating with the aid of liquor circulation-heat exchanger.
- the white liquor is then fed into the digester, displacing the black liquor, the temperature is again increased by means of a circulation-heat exchanger and the rest of the process is carried out in the conventional manner.
- An alternative continuous process is to carry out the black liquor treatment stage as a countercurrent operation.
- a forced circulation 20 liter digester was charged with pine chips in an amount corresponding to
- Example 2 An industrial batch digester having a capacity of 140 3 was filled with pane chips and spent black liquor (pH 13.4) ⁇ om previous cookings. The temperature was elevated to 140'C, and maintained at that temperature for 15 minutes. The pH thus decreased to 11.
- White liquor was added directly after filling with black liquor.
- Pulp kappa number 15.2 Pulp viscosity 905 Cook C This Cook was carried out in the manner of a conventional batch Cook, without black liquor impregnation and treatment stages:
- the alkali charge was 21% effective alkali as Na2 ⁇ > per wood
- the pulps were analyzed in terms of strength by tear-tensile comparison, as is illustrated in FIG. 5. It is clear therefrom that, when the tensile index is increased to the useful range for paper making by beating (i.e., a tensile index of from 70 to 80), the conventionally cooked pulp loses its tear strength (curve "C") , while the pulp cooked with the treatment stage of the present invention still maintains its tear strength (curve *SB”) .
- the advantage for pulp *SB" is three tear index units, or from 20 to 25% higher.
- Example 2 Cooks 5 and 6, except that the cooking temperature was not limited to 170"C (curve “NTP" in
- Example 2 Cooks 5,6: 25.4
- the tear-tensile relationship of the pulp was analyzed in order to evaluate the pulp strength.
- the tear index was 16, which equals the value found on curve " ⁇ " in FIG. 4 in Example 2, applying a normal cooking temperature and black liquor treatment. This slightly exceeded that of a normal cooking temperature with no black liquor treatment.
- FIG. 6 sets forth a comparison between cooking temperature and time profiles for the Cook in this Example, and that of Cook Nos. 5 and 6 in Example 2 * , representing normal cooking temperatures.
- Example 5 The results of this Example demonstrate that the pulps inside the digester prepared in accordance with the present invention are in extremely good condition to resist the physical damage during the discharge which arises by various blow methods, as compared to pulps cooked without the use of such a black liquor treatment stage.
- the pulp conditions prior to the blow were determined by hanging baskets filled with the same chip material inside the digester. After the blow, pulp which had not been blown could thus be recovered from these baskets, and compared to samples of the blown pulp.
- the analysis carried out was in terms of a so-called strength delivery, which is the percentage of the pulp strength as tear index at a tensile index of 70 measured in the blown pulp as compared to that of non-blown pulp in the basket.
- Cooks were carried out with a black liquor treatment stage as described in Example 2, Cook Nos. 4-6, discharged by: hot blow, directly from full cooking temperature; cold blow, after cooling displacement to under 100*C; and pump discharge after cooling displacement.
