摘要:
Steam (preferably clean steam) having less noncondensible gases than steam produced by conventional black liquor flashing is produced from hot black liquor from a digester of a pulp mill. A heat exchanger is utilized and the hot black liquor is passed through the heat exchanger in heat exchange contact with an evaporable liquid, preferably clean water. After the water is heated in the heat exchanger it is flashed in at least one flash tank where the heat exchanger is a liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger. The heat exchanger may alternatively include an evaporator (such as a falling film evaporator) in which case the black liquor is passed through an inductor before it enters the evaporator. Alternatively, the heat exchanger may be one or more boilers, such as kettle boilers, in which case the black liquor preferably passes through a cooler after the boilers. Heat energy and turpentine recovery are also maximized.

A liquid distributor for distributing liquid over the heat transfer surface of an evaporator includes a channel array including one or more supply channels and downwardly deviating distribution channels. Each distribution channel has a step-shaped expansion located downstream with respect to the supply channel and connecting therewith via a sharp point, restricting the liquid suction created in the distribution channel. Sharp points provided in the supply channel or channels further restrict the liquid suction.
摘要:
A process of improving the heat efficiency by condensation of vapor in concentrated chemical solutions, according to which vapor and a concentrated chemical solution are introduced into an absorber comprising a cooler/condenser. In accordance with the invention, the condensate formed in the condensation process is utilized to dilute the concentrated chemical solution in the absorber, and the heat of condensation and the heat of solution generated from the dilution step are recovered by heat exchanged thereof with a heat-absorbing medium. A plant for performing the process is described, comprising an absorber (1) and a cooler (condenser) associated therewith, and at least one heat exchanger (3) having an inlet and an outlet for supply and withdrawal of a heat-absorbing medium. The plant has at least one inlet to the absorber (1) for supply of concentrated chemical solution, at least one inlet to the absorber (1) for supply of vapor, and at least one outlet from the absorber for withdrawal of a diluted chemical solution obtained through condensation of vapor and the chemical solution in the absorber (1).

Black liquor is subjected to high shear to cause a breakdown of macromolecules contained therein and provide a reduction in viscosity, thereby improving the processability of the black liquor and enabling the solids content to be increased.
摘要:
In minimizing effluents from a cellulose pulp mill, liquid effluents from a bleach plant are concentrated, and then incinerated to produce a residue including sodium, sulfate, and sodium chloride. This residue is distilled with sulfuric acid to produce gaseous hydrogen chloride and remaining residue, the HCl being used in chloride dioxide production for the bleach plant, while the remaining residue is passed to the recovery loop (e.g. recovery boiler). Sulfur containing gases from the non-condensible gas system may be combusted to produce gaseous sulfur dioxide, which is then converted to sulfuric acid, to distill the residue. Where a non-chlorine bleach plant is provided, the liquid effluents may be concentrated in evaporators and then passed directly to the recovery boiler. The liquid streams in the mill are managed by a cascade principle to reserve the cleanest water for only those processes where it is needed while minimizing its use where it is not necessary.
摘要:
Combined acidification and evaporative concentration of sulfite based chemical and sulfite based semichemical spent liquors expel massive amounts of gaseous sulfur dioxide and water vapor from the spent liquor.The concentration of the expelled sulfur dioxide is sufficiently high so that the sulfur dioxide and water vapor can be recycled directly, without further separation, to produce fresh sulfite pulping liquor.
摘要:
The number 2 flash tank of a black liquor energy recovery system associated with a continuous pulp digester is eliminated, and other advantages are obtained. After flashing in the number 1 flash tank, concentrated black liquor passes to a multiple effect evaporator system as the heating fluid supplied to the last effect. The heated black liquor passes in heat exchange relationship with excess make-up liquor from the high pressure feeder circulation system and/or with portions of the extracted black liquor that have had more of their content removed, the heated black liquor effecting evaporation of the excess make-up liquor and/or portions of the black liquor. Steam from the steam relief of the steaming vessel may be used as a secondary heating fluid source for the first effect.
摘要:
The invention relates to a process of increasing the solids content of black liquor at its recovery in a sulfate pulping process. According to the invention, the liquor is first heated at a pressure which is so high that no boiling occurs at the heating temperature, after which the liquor is led to a tank where its pressure is released to a value below the saturation pressure of steam at the relative temperature of the liquor such that water is evaporated. The liquor thus concentrated can be led to the liquor combustion in the recovery process.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for the removal and recovery of volatile or evaporable substances from materials containing them. In other embodiments, the invention is readily applicable for the simultaneous incineration and concentration of such materials, particularly spent water-diluted effluents from industries and municipalities as well as for the generation of electric power from various thermal fuels, particularly power gas produced from coal or oil. In further embodiments, the reclamation of oil, from oil sands and shales, is effected as well as the cyclic pulping of cellulosic materials with cyclic recovery of heat and chemicals.
