Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a favourable modification of the kraft pulping and chemical recovery processes.
  • non-traditional pulping chemicals are generated on site and used in addition to the traditional kraft pulping chemicals.
  • the present invention has two main objects. Firstly, the said additional pulping chemicals enhance the pulping process itself. Secondly, the process for recovering and reusing the spent pulping chemicals is significantly more flexible than the conventional kraft chemical recovery process.
  • lignocellulosic material such as wood
  • a liquor containing, as main components, the active pulping chemicals sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium hydrosulphide (NaHS).
  • the spent pulping liquor known as black liquor
  • black liquor is washed from the pulp, concentrated by evaporation and combusted in the chemical recovery boiler.
  • the heat released through combustion of the black liquor organic material is recovered as steam while the inorganic material is converted into salts, mainly sodium carbonate (Na 2 C0 3 ) and sodium sulphide (Na 2 S) .
  • the so-called white liquor containing the above mentioned active pulping agents as main components, is prepared from these salts.
  • MM dissociates to form methyl mercaptide ion, CH 3 S " .
  • This ion is considerably more nucleophilic than hydrosulphide ion, HS " , and, in principle. would be more effective than hydrosulphide in increasing the rate of delignification during pulping.
  • kraft pulping is, in fact, enhanced by the addition of organic sulphide compounds, including MM. More specifically, higher pulp yields, at the same residual lignin content, can be achieved without detrimental effects on the pulp physical properties. To achieve these results at least 10 % of the total effective sulphidity should be due to the added organic sulphides.
  • Ohara S.
  • the present invention is a novel and elegant method of improving the kraft pulping and chemical recovery processes.
  • the method eliminates the drawbacks of the prior art concerning the use of organic sulphides in kraft pulping.
  • the method encompasses:
  • the key feature of the novel concept is that organic sulphur compounds which can enhance pulping are generated in considerable quantities on site. Examples of the amounts of methyl mercaptide ion which can be fed to the digester in a steady-state situation will be given below.
  • the new concept represents a significant improvement to the prior art where the only method proposed for obtaining organic sulphur compounds on site was the recycling of compounds formed during the pulping process itself.
  • the amounts of active compounds, such as MM, which can be generated on a steady-state basis during pulping, are much lower lower than those required to significantly benefit pulping.
  • the effective sulphidities of cooking liquors can be conveniently adjusted by directly absorbing different amounts of MM into the liquors.
  • the level of methyl mercaptide ion in the cooking liquor can be reduced during the pulping sequence by a temporary reduction in pressure.
  • the new method also opens the way for close coupling of the pulping and black liquor heat treatment processes. For example, heat, as well as active pulping chemicals, can be conveniently transferred from the black liquor heat treatment stage to the pulping stage. This convenient transfer is possible because the sulphur gases released in heat treatment are directly contacted with white liquor or cooking liquor. Contacting with cooking liquor can even be performed within the digester itself. Prior conversion of sulphur gases into other compounds, as outlined, for example, in Finnish patent application 916097, is not required. In some embodiments of the present invention conversion of volatile sulphur compounds into other compounds, such as NaHS or inorganic polysulphides, is necessary and/or desirable. In particular, DMS, which is not significantly absorbed into alkaline solution, is available for this purpose.
  • sulphur dioxide S0 2
  • the lime kiln and, if installed, the odour gas incinerator could be used for this purpose.
  • sulphur-containing chemicals such as sulphuric acid
  • sulphur-containing chemicals such as sulphuric acid
  • One possibility is to first combust the gases in an on- site furnace, such as the lime kiln or the odour gas incinerator, and then to convert the S0 2 so formed into the required chemical. This option would help some mills to reduce sulphidity levels without increasing emissions of sulphur compounds to the environment.
  • Inorganic polysulphides which can be produced from sulphur gases as outlined in Finnish patent application 916097, enhance kraft pulping. Because of several striking analogies between the behaviour of inorganic polysulphides and that of organic polysulphides, it is probable that DMDS, an organic polysulphide, enhances kraft pulping in a similar fashion to inorganic polysulphides. DMDS is more easily absorbed or condensed into white liquor or cooking liquor than is DMS. However, during black liquor heat treatment, DMDS is formed to a much lesser extent than either MM or DMS. On the other hand, if desired, methyl mercaptide ion can be readily oxidized into
  • DMDS methyl mercaptide ion and DMDS.
  • Block 1 encompasses digestion, digester blow and/or relief, and black liquor separation from the pulp (pulp washing).
  • the weak black liquor stream 2 is led to the evaporator 3.
  • the black liquor stream 4 is diverted to the black liquor heat treatment process 5 where it is heated in the liquid phase to a temperature higher than the pulping temperature, for example 200 - 300°C, and held at that temperature for a time of 5 - 60 min. Elevated pressure is used to prevent excessive vapourization of water during the treatment. Volatile sulphur compounds, in particular MM and DMS, are formed and exit the process as stream 7.
  • the ratio of MM to DMS in stream 7 is dependent, in part, on the process conditions applied in the heat treatment step. For example, the MM/DMS ratio will tend to increase when the operating pressure is decreased.
  • the heat-treated liquor, stream 6, is returned to the evaporator 3 for further concentration by evaporation.
  • the concentrated black liquor stream 8 exiting the evaporator is led to block 9 which encompasses the recovery furnace, or alternative black liquor conversion reactor, and affiliated processes.
  • Stream 10 comprises the inorganic compounds formed in the conversion process.
  • white liquor is prepared in the conventional way from the components of stream 10.
  • the white liquor stream 12 contains, as main components, the active pulping agents NaOH and NaHS.
  • NCG concentrated non-condensable gas
  • these streams typically contain other organic compounds such as methanol (CH 3 0H) and turpentine, as well as significant quantities of air-derived oxygen (0 2 ) and nitrogen (N 2 ) .
  • CH 3 0H methanol
  • N 2 nitrogen
  • methyl mercaptide ion is used in measurable quantities as an additional pulping agent, the amounts of sulphur gases released after pulping are greater than those released in the conventional kraft process. In particular, the amounts of MM and DMS are greater.
  • MM originates from unreacted methyl mercaptide ion while DMS is formed during pulping according to Reaction 2.
  • sulphur gases that would normally be collected into the concentrated NCG system are collected into two separate streams: stream 13, containing significant amounts of air-derived oxygen (0 2 ) and nitrogen (N 2 ), and stream 14, containing only minor amounts of such components.
  • the air-lean sulphur gas stream 14 is combined to the sulphur gas stream 7 exiting the black liquor heat treatment process, and the combined stream 15 is led to the absorber 16 where it is contacted with the white liquor stream 12.
  • Stream 15 contains MM and DMS as major components and H 2 S, DMDS, 0 2 , N 2 , and possibly CH 3 0H and turpentine as minor components.
  • MM and H 2 S in stream 15 is absorbed into the white liquor leading to the formation of methyl mercaptide ion and hydrosulphide ion, respectively.
  • some of the DMDS is also possibly absorbed or condensed into the white liquor.
  • DMS is the main constituent of the unabsorbed gases, stream 17.
  • the white liquor exiting the absorber, stream 18, is used in one or more stages of the digestion process. Pulping is enhanced as a consequence of the significant concentration of methyl mercaptide ion in the cooking liquor.
  • the primary option for utilization of the unabsorbed gases, stream 17, is co-conversion with black liquor in the black liquor conversion reactor 9 (in the conventional process, co- combustion in the recovery furnace). In this way the sulphur contained in these gases is conveniently converted into, ultimately, the active pulping agent NaHS.
  • stream 17 contains only a small proportion of the total amount of recycled sulphur, it can be combusted in block 19 which represents the lime kiln, the odour gas incinerator, or other such on-site furnace equipped with a device for removing S0 2 from the flue gases.
  • the air-rich sulphur gas stream 13 can be either processed in block 9 or, if its sulphur content is low enough, combusted in block 19.
  • H 2 S is either absorbed into the white liquor stream 18 or further converted into elemental sulphur which is added to the white liquor stream 18 .
  • the required minimum input of methyl mercaptide ion is about 0.08 mol/mol of methoxyl input. From the results of Table 1 it is evident that this level of input of methyl mercaptide ion can be readily achieved through application of the present invention. Furthermore, at high extents of MM recycle, the minimum input can be achieved at moderate extents of demethylation.

Abstract

Procédé constituant un perfectionnement apporté au procédé kraft de réduction en pâte et aux processus de récupération de produits chimiques. Selon le procédé, on produit sur place des produits chimiques de réduction en pâte non traditionnels, et on les utilise en plus des produits chimiques traditionnels. Les produits chimiques actifs supplémentaires sont certains composés de sulfure organique, notamment l'ion de mercaptide méthylique, dérivés de composés volatils produits en quantités importantes par le traitement thermique de la liqueur résiduaire à une température supérieure à la température de réduction en pâte. Ce procédé offre deux avantages principaux: la réduction en pâte est améliorée par les produits chimiques supplémentaires, et la récupération et la réutilisation des produits chimiques de réduction sont considérablement plus souples que dans le procédé kraft classique.
