Definitions
- a common stage in the treatment of wood chips for paper production is chemical pulping, e.g. the so-called kraft process which is an alkaline sulphate cooking of the wood chips.
- the native wood chips contain around 30% lignin, and at the end of the chemical cooking process less than 5% of the lignin compounds is still left in the pulp. Due to the strong brown color of the remaining lignin and its tendency to darken in UV light or by oxidation this has to be removed in order to obtain a white pulp without the tendency to color reversion.
- After the sulphate cooking a multistage washing of the unbleached kraft brown stock takes place. The well washed brown stock can then be treated with an enzyme preparation followed by a subsequent wash before entering the bleach plant.
- the invention comprises an improvement of this conventional multistage washing of the unbleached kraft brown stock, followed by the enzyme treatment with the subsequent wash, whereby this improvement is a modification, which improves the economy and facilitates the processing.
- the brown color can be removed by a multistage bleaching using e.g. chlorine and/or chlorine dioxide.
- a multistage bleaching using e.g. chlorine and/or chlorine dioxide. Due to the ever increasing environmental concern, the dosage of chlorine and/or chlorine dioxide has to be kept at a minimum, and it is for that reason that the enzymatic treatment of the kraft cookec pulp has been introduced, vide e.g. The third International Conference on Biotechnology in the Pulp and Paper Industry, Swiss, 16-19.6, 1986, page 67-69.
- the invention comprises the above indicated processes 2) and 3) and is an improvement thereof, as explained in more detail in the following.
- the multistage washing of the unbleached kraft brown stock has been performed as indicated on the flow sheet of Fig. 1.
- an oxygen delignification stage with subsequent washing may be included either before or after the enzyme stage.
- This prior art process with an enzyme treatment introduced between the cooking and the bleaching sections has some serious drawbacks, e.g. (1) the enzyme stage includes a washing stage, which is a unit operation that represents a large capital investment, and (2) pH adjustment of the pulp may be needed if enzymes with acid pH optimum are used.
- the purpose of the invention is the provision of a process for treatment of Hgnocellulosic pulp which requires a less expensive apparatus or stated otherwise the provision of a reduction of the price of the prior art method for treatment of lignocellulosic pulp comprising a multistage washing of the unbleached brown kraft stock with subsequent enzyme treatment, washing and bleaching, and a corresponding apparatus for performance of the process.
- the purpose of the invention can be fulfilled, if the enzymatic treatment with the subsequent wash is abandoned altogether and the enzymatic treatment is introduced after one or more of the single washing units in the multistage washings of the unbleached kraft brown stock, or stated otherwise if the enzyme treatment is introduced upstream the prior art position of the enzyme treatment in the multistage washing, in such manner that the multistage washing for washing out of impurities from the kraft cooking and washing out of the residues from the enzyme treatment is combined.
- the process for treatment of lignocellulosic pulp according to the invention comprising a multistage washing of the unbleached kraft brown stock and a xylanase treatment is characterized by the fact that the xylanase treatment is introduced upstream the prior art position of the xylanase treatment in such manner that the stock from the kraft cooking or the washed stock from the outlet side of one or more of the washing units is transported to a holding tank, that a xylanase with high pH activity and stability and high heat stability is added directly upstream the holding tank, and that the enzyme treated stock is passed further on in the process to the next washing unit.
- another non-chlorine bleaching stage e.g. an oxygen delignification stage or an ozone stage may be included either before or after the enzyme stage.
- Fig. 1 prior art
- Fig. 2 invention
- the invention requires one washing unit less than the prior art process, and thus, the process according to the invention fulfils the purpose of the invention.
- the tank on Fig. 1 used for the enzyme treatment normally also serves as buffer tank between the kraft cooking and the bleaching plant the residence time of the pulp in the tank often varies within a wide range, e.g. between 30 minutes and 24 hours.
- the tank is an integrated part of the washing process. It only serves the need for holding time for the enzyme treatment, which makes it much easier to control the enzyme treatment time.
- the invention provides a much better connection to the existing wash water streams.
- wash water obtained in the process according to the invention will end up in the recovery system for the kraft cooking process, which means that everything that is solubilized during the enzyme treatment will be burned in the recovery boiler whereby the BOD 5 load from the enzyme stage on the effluent streams is eliminated.
- the wash water from the washing stage after the enzyme treatment normally has to be sewered.
- the enzyme treatment according to the invention also releases more cooking chemicals from the pulp than a conventional wash with water. This makes it possible to obtain an even better recovery of cooking chemicals than normally obtained.
- the three washing units on Fig. 2 are not limiting to the invention, but just an example. Each single unit can represent more than one washing stage.
- the xylanase with high pH activity and stability and with high heat stability which is used in the process according to the invention, has to show a bleach boosting effect under the conditions present just prior to the last washing unit.
- the invention comprises an apparatus for performance of the process according to the invention.
- the apparatus according to the invention is characterized by the fact that a holding tank with piping with facilities for introduction of enzyme is introduced upstream the first washing unit or downstream one or more of the other washing units except for the last washing unit, that piping is provided for further transport of the stock to the next washing unit, and that the conventional enzyme treatment unit downstream the washing unit is abandoned.
- the pulp P was diluted with fresh water to a consistency of 1% DS and then reconcentrated to a consistency of approximately 20% on a wire screen.
- This washing sequence is the standard washing stage used throughout this example.
- This pulp sample was divided into two halves. The first half of this one stage washed pulp was xylanase treated under the following conditions without pH adjustment prior to the enzyme addition.
- the xylanase stage was carried out as follows.
- the pulp was diluted to the desired consistency by addition of fresh water.
- the enzyme solution was added and mixed into the pulp by vigorous mixing.
- the pulp was then placed in a water bath to ensure constant temperature for the remainder of the treatment time. The pulp was not mixed during the three hours of holding time.
- the second half of the one stage washed pulp was carried through another standard washing stage. After washing the pH of the pulp suspension was 8.7.
- This two stage washed pulp was enzyme treated without pH adjustment prior to the enzyme addition under the following conditions:
- the enzyme treatment was carried out as described above.
- FXU xylanase activity unit appears from AF 293.6/1 , obtainable on request from NOVO NORDISK A/S, Novo Alle, DK-2880 Bagsvaerd, Denmark.
- the xylanases used in this example were selected according to their pH optimum in relation to the pH of the pulp. After enzyme treatments and washings all the pulps were bleached according to the same two stage bleaching sequence (D50 C50) E.
