Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for moni toring and controlling hydrophobic contaminants in an aqueous stream of a pulp or papermaking process.
- Measurements of solid matter containing liquids are typical in forest in dustry, in which wood pulp samples or filtrates, such as wire water, white water, thickener filtrate or other pulp filtrate, or circulated water, are monitored in order to be able to control the overall process.
- wood pulp samples or filtrates such as wire water, white water, thickener filtrate or other pulp filtrate, or circulated water
- the liquids used often contain solid matter that needs to be measured and monitored.
- the measurement may be carried out off-line or on-line, where off-line methods often involve batch sampling and laboratory analyses. They enable providing accurate and versatile information on the suspension, but suffer from considerable time delays. On-line methods, on the other hand, provide instant or almost instant information on the suspension, but the data obtained is usually not as accurate as that achieved in the laboratory.
- Liquids and filtrates in pulp industry contain particles the amount, type, and size distribution of which have a considerable effect on upcoming process stages. For example, pitch may cause running problems on paper machines.
- One technique for analyzing papermaking process samples is a method where harmful particles, such as pitch, white pitch and stickies, that disturb the papermaking process causing production down-time and paper defects, are de tected.
- the system fractionates the particles according to their mass and/or size.
- the fractionated samples are analyzed with optical measurements.
- the system measures the particle and/or mass distribution of a filtrate to detect paper machine problems.
- Figures 1A and IB show the hydrophobicity density for different pulp streams measured over a time period
- Figure 2 shows the effect of pulp washing on the hydrophobicity den sity
- Figure 3 shows the effect of chemical dosing on the hydrophobicity in dex of the pulp stream
- Figure 4 illustrates an exemplary method
- Figure 5 illustrates an exemplary apparatus.
- Hydrophobic contaminants such as wood pitch
- hydrophobic con taminants like wood pitch
- concentration of pitch and/or hydrophobicity density is found out.
- Hydrophobicity may be due either to increased pulp consistency (in creased particle count) or due to increased pitch concentration.
- the concentration of pitch has a direct ef- feet on the quality of the end product: the higher the pitch concentration, the poorer the quality of the pulp, which may cause problems in further processing of the pulp.
- Hydrophobicity density (i.e. hydrophobicity index) describes the concentra tion of hydrophobic contaminants and/or the density of hydrophobic contami- nants.
- the concentration or density of wood pitch may be defined as the mass of wood pitch divided by the volume or mass of a sample, for example, a milligram of wood pitch in a kilogram of solid matter (mg/kg), a milligram of wood pitch in a kilogram of dry solid of the sample (mg/kg), a milligram of wood pitch in a certain volume (like mg/1).
- the concentration may also be defined as the count of wood pitch divided by the volume of the sample, mass of solid matter in the sample or mass of dry solid in the sample.
- Hydrophobic contaminants may be wood pitch.
- An embodiment discloses a simple method and device for estimating the concentration of pitch and/or density of pitch in a pulp sample. If it is known that there are impurities in the pulp (or the pulp liquid), they may be affected by increasing the amount of washing water or by adding a chemical that disperses (stabilizes) pitch into small particles which may be removed from the mass by washing to avoid them being passed to the paper mill.
- a monitoring unit may be installed on the white water tank or headbox.
- Pitch con centration monitoring may be performed on-line to predict or determine the need for adding control chemicals.
- the monitoring may be performed by using an on line tool that monitors the relative particle size, relative count and relative hydro- phobicity in the sample.
- Colloidal pitch particles in the wet end of the pulp drying machine may be monitored by on-line measurement that is able to separate the particles based on their size/mass and return a relative hydrophobicity value.
- the samples for continuous on-line monitoring may be taken from the white water chest or wire water of the pulp drying machine, since this is typically where the cycling up of the hydrophobic particles is the most prevalent.
- a method and system for monitoring and controlling hydrophobic com- ponents in a pulp mill is disclosed.
- a method and system for monitoring and controlling pulp purity/pulp impurities is provided.
- An embodiment is related to the use of an online or portable measure ment device or system in a pulp mill.
- the system measures the density/concentra- tion of hydrophobic contaminants, i.e. hydrophobicity index, in the pulp sample and controls the chemical treatment of pulp streams and/or washing of the pulp, on the basis of the measured hydrophobicity index.
- the system may also be used for monitoring incoming pulp streams in a paper machine and for controlling a computerized deposit control program on the basis of the hydrophobicity index to control the concentration of hydrophobic contaminants in the pulp stream (or in dried pulp).
- specific measurement variable(s) are used for mon itoring and/or controlling hydrophobic contaminants in pulp streams.
- the hydro phobicity density i.e. the density of hydrophobic contaminants, i.e. a hydrophobi city index
- the hydrophobi- city density enables more accurately to describe or characterize changes in the con centration of hydrophobic particles than the hydrophobicity value itself.
- the hy drophobicity value for a pulp stream or sample is a sum parameter of the count and density of hydrophobic contaminants. The effect of chemical treatment and wash ing of the pulp on pulp quality may more easily be discovered by monitoring the hydrophobicity density, due to the elimination of consistency variations in the measurement results of the measurement system.
- the total particle count corre lates with the consistency of the pulp, i.e. the total particle count equals to the sum of the light scattering intensity values for all fractions of the pulp sample.
- An exemplary method comprises continuously in repeating cycles con- ducting a sample to an optical measurement device, adding a hydrophobic dye to the sample, fractionating the sample into fractions according to particle size and/or mass, and measuring fluorescence intensity values and light scattering intensity values from the fractions.
- the method further comprises calculating a cumulative sum of the fluorescence intensity values and light scattering intensity values over the fractions, calculating the hydrophobicity density of the particles by dividing the cumulative sum of the fluorescence intensity values with the cumulative sum of the light scattering intensity values, using the hydrophobicity density of the particles for monitoring hydrophobic components in the pulp stream, and controlling the hydrophobic contaminants in the pulp by manual adjustment and/or automatic dosing of chemicals, and/or by pulp washing control.
- the method steps may be performed at selected intervals or when desired.
- the method comprises calculating the sum of the fluorescence intensity values over the fractions, calculating the sum light scattering intensity values over the fractions, calculating the hydrophobicity density of the particles by dividing the sum of the fluorescence intensity values with the sum of the light scattering intensity values.
- Particles in the fractions may be, for example, colloids, fines, and fibers.
- the chemicals to be used may include dispersing agent(s), fixative(s), retention aid(s), surfactant(s) and/or detackifier(s), for example.
- the pulp washing may be controlled e.g. by controlling the use of washing water, or by controlling the use of washing chemicals such as dispersing agent(s).
- the method may comprise calculating a cumulative sum of the fluores cence intensity signal for each of the fractions, calculating a cumulative sum of the light scattering intensity signal for each of the fractions, calculating the hydropho bicity density for each of the fractions (e.g. colloids fraction, fines fraction, agglom erates fraction, fibers fraction), using the specific information thus obtained for chemical treatment of pulp stream(s), e.g. for the selection of right chemical(s), for the selection of right dosage(s), and/or for automatic dosing control of chemical(s).
- the hydrophobicity density of the particles may be calculated by dividing the cu mulative sum of the fluorescence intensity signal by the cumulative sum of the light scattering intensity signal.
- the hydrophobicity density of the particles may be used for monitoring and controlling the hydrophobic components in the pulp.
- Control ling of the hydrophobic contaminants may be manual adjustment and/or auto matic dosing of chemicals such as dispersing agent(s), fixative(s), retention aid(s), surfactant(s) and/or detackifier(s) in the pulp, and/or controlling pulp washing, e.g. controlling the use of water or washing chemicals such as dispersing agent(s).
- the controlling of the use of water may include controlling the amount of wash water or how much fresh water is taken in and how much wa ter is drained out (describes how much water circulation has been closed).
- An exemplary method may comprise calculating a cumulative sum of the fluorescence intensity signal for each fraction, calculating a cumulative sum of the light scattering intensity signal for each fraction, calculating hydrophobicity density for each fraction (e.g. colloids, fines, agglomerates, fibers), using this spe cific information for chemical treatment of pulp stream(s) (e.g. by selection of right chemical(s), by selection of right dosage(s), and/or by automatic dosing control of chemical(s)).
- hydrophobicity density e.g. colloids, fines, agglomerates, fibers
- the pulp stream (or sample) is a dilute obtained by diluting dried pulp or high consistency pulp (for example, more than 1.5%) with water.
- a sample is taken from a selected filtrate water (or a very dilute pulp, low consistency pulp, for example, less than 1.5%) at the pulp mill, a dye is added, the sample is fractionated, and the hydrophobicity of all the fractions is measured.
- the light scattering and fluorescence intensities are meas ured from all the fractions, the fluorescence intensity values of all the fractions (which are present in the sample; typically there are no fibers present in the filtrate water) are summed up, the light scattering intensity values of all the fractions are summed up (the area), and the total sum of fluorescence intensity values is divided with the total sum of light scattering intensity values to obtain the hydrophobicity density which may also be referred to as the hydrophobicity index.
- the process may be a continuous process wherein a cumulative sum of the values over a se- lected period is obtained.
- hydrophobicity density also referred to as the hydrophobicity in dex
- hydrophobicity index hy drophobicity density
- hydrophobicity index only for some of the fractions. In that case the sum of fluorescence intensity values for the selected fractions is divided with the sum of light scattering intensity values for said frac tions to obtain the hydrophobicity density for said fractions.
- samples may be taken from an aqueous pulp stream at any part of the pulp or paper making process.
- the samples may be taken from pulp suspensions, diluted pulp, pulp filtrates, filtrate water, dilute mass, white water, or wire water.
- control chemicals or pulp washing water may be added to the aqueous stream at a desired part of the pulp or paper making process.
- control chemicals may be added to the pulp stream (e.g. pulp washers, mixing chest, machine chest).
- pulp samples may be taken at different positions of the pulp pro duction or papermaking process.
- pulp may be manufactured and dried before transporting it to another manufactory, wherein during drying of the pulp, the low consistency pulp is on the wire (or between the wires) and water is removed from between the wire reels. If at that stage a sample is taken and ana- lysed from the wire water, and if it is discovered that there is pitch in the wire wa ter, chemicals may be added to pulp suspension(s) before the wire section to affect (i.e. to decrease) the amount (the concentration) of pitch.
- An exemplary device continuously (or batchwise) measures the hydro phobicity index of the particles in a pulp stream, specifically in the white water stream in the pulp dryer.
- the hydrophobicity index in the pulp by increas ing chemical (e.g. dispersant) dosage if required. For example, at bleaching stage it is possible to reduce the hydrophobicity index of pulp by increasing the amount of washing water. It is also possible to determine at which hydrophobicity index level the change in the chemical dosing and/or the change in the amount of dilution wa ter is to be made.

- the apparatus adds hydrophobic dye to the sample, and in item 403 the apparatus performs fractionation into fractions of the sample based on size and/or mass.
- the fractionation may be performed e.g. by means of field flow frac tionation. It is also possible that the dye addition is performed only after the frac tionation by adding the dye to the individual fractions.
- the apparatus performs optical measurement on the fractions thereby obtaining fluorescence in tensity and light scattering intensity values for each of the fractions.
- the fluores cence intensity and light scattering intensity are measured as a function of time, thereby obtaining multiple values of fluorescence and light scattering for each frac tion. Measuring frequency of fluorescence intensities and light scattering intensi- ties may be, for example, once per second.
- the method comprises per forming in the apparatus the steps of adding together the fluorescence intensity values of the fractions thus obtaining a sum of the fluorescence intensity values, and adding together the light scattering intensity values of the fractions thus ob taining a cumulative sum of the light scattering intensity values.
- the hydrophobic index is calculated in the apparatus by 1) calculating a hydrophobicity density of the particles in the sample by dividing the sum of the fluorescence inten sity values with the sum of the light scattering intensity values, and monitoring and controlling the amount of hydrophobic contaminants in the aqueous stream based on the calculated hydrophobicity density of the particles in the sample, and/or 2) calculating a hydrophobicity density of the particles in the fraction by dividing the sum of fluorescence intensity values of the fraction with the sum of light scattering intensity values of the fraction, and monitoring and controlling the amount of hy drophobic contaminants in the aqueous stream based on the calculated hydropho bicity density of the particles in the fraction.
- the apparatus may be configured to send a control signal to dosing means to dose chemical(s) and/or washing water to the pulp if so required based on the hydrophobicity density. If the apparatus repeats the process e.g. at predetermined time intervals, calculations for the hydrophobicity index may be performed cumulatively.

- Hydrophobicity refers to a tendency of nonpolar substances to aggregate in an aqueous solution and exclude water molecules. Hydrophobic ma terial means "water-fearing" material, and hydrophobicity describes the segrega tion of water and nonpolar substances, which maximizes hydrogen bonding be tween molecules of water and minimizes the area of contact between water and nonpolar molecules.

- Agglomerates are typically within the size range of more than 10 gm.
- Fibers are typically within the size range of 0.7-2.9 mm (length) and 16- 35 mm (diameter). The fiber length/size may vary depending on the tree species from which the pulp originates and on whether it is from springwood or summer- wood, as follows.
- Eucalyptus fiber length 1 mm, fiber diameter 16 gm; birch: fiber length 1.1 mm, fiber diameter 22 gm; aspen: fiber length 0.8 mm, fiber diameter 18 gm; acacia: fiber length 0.7 mm, fiber diameter 20 gm; pine: fiber length 2.9 mm, fiber diameter from 20 mm (summerwood) to 35 mm (springwood); spruce: fiber length 2.9 mm, fiber diameter from 19 mm (summerwood) to 33 mm (spring- wood).
- a pulp machine may use different types of pulps.
