Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for separating lignin from black liquor, and more especially a black liquor pre-treatment method for reducing the acid requirements and improving the filterability of lignin slurries produced from the addition of acid to black liquors.
- the lignin is either dissolved or dispersed in black liquor in the colloidal form with the colloidal dispersion being stabilized by charged phenolic and carboxylic acid groups on the lignin (Marton, J., On the structure of kraft lignin, Tappi, 47(1 1), 713-719 (1964).
- Each lignin colloid carries a negative charge which produces an electrostatic repulsion force between adjacent particles. If the charge is sufficiently high, the lignin colloids will remain discrete, disperse and in suspension.
- lignin precipitation Reducing or eliminating the charge has the opposite effect leading to lignin particle agglomeration and settling out of solution (lignin precipitation).
- stability of lignin solutions and/or dispersions can be affected by such factors as pH, ionic strength, temperature and surface-active agents (Norgren, M., Some aspects on the physical chemistry of kraft lignins in aqueous solutions. Theoretical considerations and practical implications, Lie. Thesis, Mid Sweden University, Sundsvall, Sweden, 2000; Norgren, M.
- Such methods include: lignin precipitation by acidification to lower the black liquor pH, changing the ionic strength of lignin solutions using, for example, alcohols and/or calcium salts, addition of surface-active agents and membrane separation.
- lignin precipitation by acidification is the most common method used for lignin recovery.
- a number of such processes exist e.g. Uloth, V.C. and Wearing, J.T., Kraft lignin recovery: acid precipitation versus ultrafiltration. Part I. Laboratory test results" Pulp & Paper Canada, 90(9), 67-71 (1989); Uloth, V.C. and Wearing, J.T., Kraft lignin recovery: acid precipitation versus ultrafiltration. Part II.
- the lignin After acidification, the lignin is usually filtered and washed with acid (e.g. sulphuric acid) and water to produce lignin of high purity. In many cases, however, it is difficult to separate the lignin from the acidified black liquor solutions.
- acid e.g. sulphuric acid
- a number of approaches have been considered in the prior art including filtration at high temperatures (80°C-90°C), increased ionic strength and reduced precipitation pH. Even though these approaches work to a certain extent, the filtration resistance is still quite high leading to unreasonably low filtration rates and, in certain cases, a lignin product of low dry solids content.
- a second problem associated with most lignin precipitation processes using acid is the large amount of acid (e.g. carbon dioxide and/or sulphuric acid) that is needed to induce the lignin to come out of solution and/or be converted from the sodium to the hydrogen form (e.g. during suspension of the lignin cake in an acid solution or the washing of the lignin with acid on the filter).
- acid e.g. carbon dioxide and/or sulphuric acid
- TRS totally reduced sulphur
- This invention seeks to provide improvements in a process for removing lignin from black liquor.
- This invention also seeks to provide a process for separating lignin from black liquor.
- a process for separating lignin from black liquor comprising: a) oxidizing black liquor containing lignin to destroy total reduced sulphur (TRS) compounds in the black liquor, b) acidifying the oxidized black liquor to precipitate lignin from the black liquor, and c) filtering precipitated lignin particles from the acidified liquor.
- TRS total reduced sulphur
- a process for separating lignin from black liquor comprising: a) oxidizing black liquor containing lignin to destroy total reduced sulphur (TRS) compounds in the black liquor as well as oxidize certain organics to organic acids, b) acidifying the oxidized black liquor to precipitate lignin from the black liquor, c) filtering precipitated lignin particles from the acidified liquor, and d) washing the precipitated lignin particles with sulphuric acid and water.
- TRS total reduced sulphur
- the acidification of black liquor can be conducted by any one or more of several acids such as: purchased carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, sulphuric acid, methane sulphonic acid and other organic acids (e.g. acetic acid and formic acid) or an acid-containing stream at a kraft pulp mill such as flue gases from the lime kiln or other combustion device or gas emitted from effluent treatment systems (e.g. UNOX) which is rich in carbon dioxide, spent acid from the chlorine dioxide generator, the tall oil plant or the demineralizer plant which are rich in sulphuric acid or a stream from a chip-prehydrolysis stage which is rich in acetic acid.
- acids such as: purchased carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, sulphuric acid, methane sulphonic acid and other organic acids (e.g. acetic acid and formic acid) or an acid-containing stream at a kraft pulp mill such as flue gases from the lime kiln or other combustion device or gas e
- non-sulphur containing acids are used in the black liquor acid precipitation and washing steps (e.g. carbon dioxide, acetic acid, formic acid) thereby minimizing caustic make-up requirements to the kraft recovery cycle. Since, however, most of these acids are weak acids, their use is usually limited to the black liquor precipitation step. To achieve good lignin washing, stronger acids are needed (e.g. sulphuric acid). Other strong acids could be used as well (e.g.
- hydrochloric acid, nitric acid but the use of these should be avoided since, if all filtrates from the lignin plant were to be returned to the kraft recovery cycle, they would carry with them undesired non-process elements such as chlorine (in the form of chloride) and nitrogen (in the form of nitrate).
- black liquor oxidation provides suitable conditions for lignin colloid agglomeration with respect to pH (leads to a lower pH), temperature (leads to a higher temperature) and the relative valence of the inorganic electrolytes in solution (e.g. oxidation converts sodium hydrosulphide, a salt in which both the cation and anion are monovalent to sodium thio sulphate and sodium sulphate in which the cation is monovalent but the anion is divalent).
- black liquor oxidation prior to lignin precipitation leads to a final lignin product of a higher dry solids content compared to unoxidized black liquor.
- this black liquor pretreatment step led to reduced acid requirements for the acidification step during lignin precipitation from black liquor, reduced acid requirements during the washing step, and reduced TRS emissions during all steps associated with lignin precipitation, filtration and washing.
- improvements in acid requirements can be explained by the fact that the oxidation of sulphide to sulphate and organics (e.g. sugars) to organic acids (e.g. sugar acids) consumes the residual effective alkali (sodium hydroxide) in black liquor.
- Suitable acidifiers include carbon dioxide and/or sulphuric acid. It should be noted here that if the latter acid is used in the black liquor acidification or the lignin washing steps, this will upset the sodium/sulphur balance in the kraft recovery cycle leading to higher caustic makeup requirements.
- any reduction in the sulphuric acid (or any other sulphur- containing acid such as methane sulphonic acid, sulphur dioxide, etc.) requirements of a lignin plant will inevitably lead to a reduction in the caustic make-up requirements of the kraft recovery cycle.
- a second option following the destruction of TRS compounds would be to simply let the black liquor stand for a certain period of time at a high temperature.
- the hemicellulose in the black liquor is then amenable to peeling reactions which generate saccharinic acids (Increased yields in alkaline pulping. I. A study of the peeling reaction at the conditions of kraft pulping, Project 2942, Report 1 , December 18, 1970.), thereby consuming alkalinity and reducing the amount of acidifier required for the acidification of the black liquor.
- the acidifying is to a black liquor pH of not more than 10.8; in particular embodiments the acidifying is with an acidifier selected from carbon dioxide contained in a flue gas or the gaseous emissions from an effluent treatment system (e.g. UNOX) and the sulphuric acid used is that contained in the spent acid from the chlorine dioxide generator, the tall oil plant and/or the demineralizer plant; or the acidifying may be with sulphur dioxide, organic acids or acid contained in the hydrolysate from the pre-hydrolysis of wood chips prior to pulping (e.g. using steam, water or sulphuric acid).
- an acidifier selected from carbon dioxide contained in a flue gas or the gaseous emissions from an effluent treatment system (e.g. UNOX) and the sulphuric acid used is that contained in the spent acid from the chlorine dioxide generator, the tall oil plant and/or the demineralizer plant; or the acidifying may be with sulphur dioxide, organic acids or acid contained in the hydrolysate from
- the acidification brings the pH of black liquor close to the pKa (acidity constant) of the phenolic groups in lignin which is about 10.
- pKa acidity constant
- 50% of the phenolic groups in lignin are in the sodium form (completely dissociated form) and the other 50% in the acidic form (mostly undissociated form).
- some lignin molecules e.g. high MW
- come out of solution and form colloidal particles which following agglomeration and coagulation (simply time in a tank) grow to particles of a size around 5-10 micron average diameter which are easy to filter.
- the benefits and objectives of taking lignin out of black liquor include:
- lignin in any one or more of several high-volume, high-value applications.
- examples include: as a dispersant in various applications (e.g. dyes in textiles) as a binder in wood pellets to reduce dusting and improve packing density as a replacement of phenol in phenol formaldehyde resins (e.g. resins used in plywood, OSB and other wood products) as a replacement of carbon black in rubber products (e.g. tires) as a feedstock for the manufacture of carbon fibers (in place of polyacrylonitrile) as a replacement of petroleum-based polyols in the manufacture of rigid polyurethanes.

- oxidation is with oxygen
- the invention is not limited to employing oxygen.
- Other oxidizing agents may be employed, for example air, emissions from an on-site effluent treatment system (50% oxygen, 50% carbon dioxide by volume: could conduct oxidation and precipitation at the same time), chemical oxidation - any one of several chemical agents could be used as long as they are cost-effective, compatible with the mill recovery cycle and they do not react with lignin), electrochemical oxidation, photochemical oxidation, etc.
- sulphur species of the TRS are oxidized to such species as thiosulphate and sulphate (in the case of H 2 S), methane sulphonic acid (in the case of mercaptan), dimethyl sulphoxide and dimethyl sulphone (in the case dimethylsulphide) and methane sulphonic acid (in the case of dimethyl disulphide).

- a lignin recovery assembly comprises a weak black liquor tank 1 , a multiple effect evaporator (MEE) assembly 2, a black liquor oxidation reactor 3, a lignin precipitation reactor 4, a lignin coagulator 5 and a filter 6.
- MEE multiple effect evaporator
- Weak black liquor e.g. 20% solids
- the black liquor is heated in MEE assembly 2 to generate concentrated black liquor (e.g. 50% solids) which is directed to the mill recovery boiler along flow line 2b after being further concentrated (e.g. to 70-80% solids) in concentrators.
- Black liquor is fed from assembly 2 (at about 30-40% solids) along flow line 2a to a black liquor oxidation reactor
- Oxygen gas is fed along flow line 3b to the black liquor oxidation reactor 3 for oxidation of TRS and other compounds in the black liquor.
- the thus pre-treated black liquor is fed along flow line 3 a to a lignin precipitation reactor 4, and C0 2 is fed as acidifying agent along flow line 4b to lignin reactor 4 to precipitate lignin in the liquor.
- the thus acidified liquor is fed along flow line 4a to lignin coagulator 5 in which the lignin precipitate is allowed to coagulate.
- Liquor with coagulated lignin is fed along flow line 5a to a filter 6 where lignin is filtered out of the liquor and filtered liquor is recycled in flow line 6c to weak black liquor tank 1.
- Lignin retained by filter 6 is washed with H 2 S0 4 from line 6a and water from line 6b and washed lignin is recovered in line 6d.
- the lignin cake from filter 6 is suspended in dilute sulphuric acid to convert it from the sodium to the hydrogen form and then the lignin slurry is directed to a second filter for the washing of the lignin with dilute sulphuric acid and water.
- the washed lignin is dried by any suitable means, for example by pressing to remove excess water and air drying or using a rotary kiln.
- average diameter refers to the average diameter of particles having a range or distribution of sizes.
- Lignin was precipitated from 150L of black liquor using C0 2 .
- the black liquors were oxidized by blowing oxygen into the liquor at 75 °C using a sparger located at the bottom of the reactor.
- the oxidation reaction was monitored by measuring the amount of sulphide in the liquor and stopped at a sulphide concentration of about 0.6-0.8 g/L.
- the residual sulphide was monitored on-line using the BLOX sensor previously developed at FPIinnovations Paprican Division.
- Lignin precipitation from black liquor was conducted by blowing C0 2 into the black liquor solution using the same sparger that is used for the oxidation step.
- the precipitation temperature was kept at 75°C.
- the precipitation was stopped at pH around 10.
- the lignin slurry was agitated gently in the same tank in order to allow the lignin particles to grow. After coagulation at 65- 70°C, the lignin slurry was filtered using a LAROX filter press (Model PF 0.1 H2). The filter area was 0.1m 2 . A standard filter cloth from Tamfelt (S-2108-L1) was used.
- the filtration cycle included the following steps: formation of the lignin cake, washing with 0.4N sulfuric acid followed by 0.0 IN sulfuric acid, and water; pressing; and, finally, air drying.
- the filtration rate in kg/m .h (kilograms of recovered lignin filtered per unit surface area per hour) was evaluated for lignin recovered from oxidized and non-oxidized black liquors. With no black liquor pre-treatment (oxidation), the filtration rate was
- the filtration rate was about 150 to 180 kg/m 2 .h in the first filtration step and 100 to 125 kg/m 2 .h in the second filtration step. It is important here to mention that the calculation of the filtration rate for the second filtration step takes into account the time required for: the formation of the second cake, pressing of the cake, washing with acidic wash water and water, pressing of the cake, and air drying. When no re-slurrying step was used, the filtration rate ranged from 90 to 260, especially 100 to 240 kg/m 2 .h.
- Figure 2a shows that after acidification of the non-oxidized black liquor to pH 10 using carbon dioxide, the coagulated lignin slurry (before the first filtration) is composed of very small lignin particles (about 0.2-0.5 ⁇ average diameter in size). In the case of oxidized black liquor ( Figure.2b), however, the slurry appears to be composed of lignin particles which are larger in size (about 0.5 to 1 ⁇ average diameter).
- SEM images of the final lignin product from the untreated (unoxidized) black liquor show small particles of about 0.2-1.0 ⁇ average diameter whereas in the case, of lignin derived from oxidized black liquor ( Figure 3b), the SEM images show that the lignin is made up of larger particles of about 5 to 10 ⁇ average diameter in size. This could explain the high filtration rate of the slurry recovered from the oxidized black liquor as compared to the untreated (unoxidized) one.
- the lignin produced from the oxidized black liquor was not less pure from the lignin produced from untreated black liquor (please see Table 2).
- the ash content was quite low at about 0.18% as compared to 0.07% for the lignin produced from untreated black liquor.
- Its lignin content was 98.03% as compared to 97.06% for the lignin produced from untreated black liquor.
- the elemental analysis of the two lignins with respect to C, O, H and N was quite similar.
- the Mw and MWD of lignin were measured using Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC).
- SEC Size Exclusion Chromatography
- the lignin samples were acetylated and then dissolved in THF prior to injection into a liquid chromatograph (LC) equipped with three SEC columns connected in series with exclusion limits ranging from 50 to 1M Dalton.
- LC liquid chromatograph
- Table 2 shows the Mw and MWD of lignins recovered from untreated and pre-treated black liquors, respectively, based on the results obtained from the MALLS and UV detectors, respectively. Based on the results presented in Table 3, it appears that there is no major change in the lignin structure since no large difference was seen in Mw, Mn and by extension, Mw/Mn, when the lignin is produced from non-oxidized or oxidized black liquor or even when the lignin is converted from the sodium to the hydrogen form in these two cases.
- the black liquor pretreatment approach of the invention enables an increase, for example a two to three-fold increase, in lignin slurry filtration rates (both under alkaline and acidic conditions) without compromising lignin purity and/or affecting lignin structure and chemistry (e.g. lignin MWD or main functional groups).
- this approach reduces acid requirements during the lignin precipitation and washing steps while minimizing and/or eliminating TRS emissions from all processing steps.
- the process of the invention provides a filtering rate of precipitated lignin particles greater than the filtering rate for a corresponding non-oxidized, acidified black liquor, i.e. the same black liquor but without the oxidizing pretreatment.
- the process of the invention provides lignin particles which are of larger particle size than lignin particles filtered from a corresponding non-oxidized, acidified black liquor, i.e. the same black liquor but without the oxidizing pretreatment.
- the process of the invention provides a lignin product of a higher dry solids content than the lignin produced from unoxidized black liquor.
