Abstract:
The present invention relates to the production of texturized microcrystalline cellulose from raw pulp material.

Additionally, the texturized microcrystalline cellulose may be used as a starting material for production of paper or paper board.
Abstract:
A chip pretreatment process which comprises conveying the feed material through a compression screw device having an atmosphere of saturated steam at a pressure above about 5 psig, decompressing and discharging the compressed material from the screw device into a decompression region, feeding the decompressed material from the decompression region into a fiberizing device, such as a low intensity disc refiner, where at least about 30 percent of the fiber bundles and fibers are axially separated, without substantial fibrillation of the fibers. In a more specific form the invention is directed to a process for producing mechanical pulp, including the steps of fiberizing wood chip feed material in a low intensity disc refiner until at least about 30 percent of the fibers are axially separated with less than about 5 percent fibrillation, and subsequently refining the fiberized material in a high intensity disc refiner until at least about 90 percent of the fibers are fibrillated. In another form the invention combines chip fiberizing with chemical treatments, for improving the pulp property versus energy relationships.
Abstract:
A process for applying chemicals, such as an alkaline peroxide pretreatment (1) to lignocellulosic material before chemical refining and at the primary refiner (3). The preferred embodiment comprises (i) preconditioning at temperatures below 95null C., especially below 80null C., (ii) limiting the time and/or temperature in the refiner, (iii) reaction quench to maintain temperatures below 80null C., and (iv) subsequent high consistency bleaching (4).
Abstract:
The present invention comprises an improved method for refining cellulose that produces a highly refined cellulosic material. The method comprises soaking raw material in a mild NaOH using reduced temperatures and pressures, and refining the material with a plate refiner so that a waste water stream is reduced in volume and has a pH within a range of 8 to 9. The present invention also comprises a HRC gel having a lignin concentration of at least about one (1)% by weight, and a water retention capacity of about 25 to at least about 56 g H2O/g dry HRC.

Abstract:
The invention provides an improvement in the quality and quantity of cellulosic fibers recovered in recycling wastepaper contained in waste material packaged in compressed bale form by sufficiently wetting the baled waste material with a liquid that wastepaper cellulosic fibers will soften and swell prior to the waste material being subjected to the recycling pulping operation. A cellulosic fiber softening and swell-inducing liquid is injected at high velocities into the interior of each unbroken bale by bringing a jet establishing nozzle assembly connected to a high pressure source of the liquid into close adjacency with one or more exterior surfaces of the bale and discharging liquid from the nozzle assembly into the baled waste material for a predetermined time sufficient to wet the waste material, after which time the material in the wetted bale is allowed to sorb the fluid for a period as will result in cellulosic fibers in the waste material softening and swelling a substantial degree before the waste material is introduced into the recycling pulper. For some types of waste material bales superior results are produced by varying the injection velocities during intervals of the predetermined time of liquid injection.
Abstract:
A paper pulp refining and bleaching process wherein the pulp is treated in one or more refiners with a sodium hydrosulfite bleach liquor in the presence of a strong alkali such as NaOH, whereby the bleaching solution has an alkaline pH, preferably 10 to 12, and the pulp is discharged from the refiner at a pH of from about 5 to 6. The bleaching produces a brightness gain of at least 8 to 13 ISO points in the refiners. The process is preferably carried out by passing the pulp successively through a primary refiner at elevated pressure, a secondary refiner at atmospheric pressure and a bleaching tower, an alkaline hydrosulfite solution being fed to each.
Abstract:
A method for producing a novel pulp, primarily wood pulp, from chips using pre-treatment with stabilizers and alkaline peroxide prior to mechanical fiberization (refining) to increase the brightness of the resulting fibers and the papermaking strength achievable with the fibers. The novel aspect of the pretreatment prior to refining is that it reuslts in the "in situ" formation within the chips of a stabilizing flock or sol.
Abstract:
Chemimechanical pulp is produced from lignocellulosic material in a process in which the material is impregnated in two stages. The material is treated in the first stage with alkaline and, subsequent to passing an intermediate draining and reaction step, in the second stage with a solution that contains peroxide. The quantities of alkali and peroxide charged are fully optional and are independent of one another. The material is then optionally subjected to a further drainage and reaction step, and thereafter pre-heated at a temperature of between 50.degree. C. and 100.degree. C., whereafter the material is refined in one or two stages.The optimal brightness of the processed pulp for a given peroxide consumption is achieved by a balanced division of the peroxide charge between chip impregnation and bleaching.

A method for producing mechanical pulps which are useful for producing coated light weight paper, magazine paper and the like, is disclosed, which includes preheating lignocellulose-containing material in the presence of impregnation chemicals, refining the preheated lignocellulose-containing material utiilizing a pair of counter-rotating refining discs under pressure, bleaching the thus produced partially refined lignocellulose-containing material, and refining the bleached material in a second refining step utilizing a pair of refining discs, one of which is stationary and the other which is rotating under pressure.
