摘要:
A method of producing high yield chemical cellulosic pulp includes: (a) chemically pulping wood chips to separate lignin and liberate cellulosic fibers from the wood chips to generate a cellulosic pulp; (b) washing and screening the pulp of step (a); (c) pre-treating the washed pulp with oxygen; (d) optionally washing the treated pulp of step (c); (e) bleaching the pre-treated pulp in an extended duration oxidative bleaching stage; (f) optionally washing the bleached pulp of step (e); and (g) optionally further oxidatively or reductively bleaching the bleached pulp in a shorter duration bleaching stage, wherein the bleached pulp is produced at a yield of greater than 60% based on the weight of the pulped wood chips (dry basis).

A process for delignifying bleaching cellulose pulp in three stages, an activating stage, and first and second alkaline stages, NO and/or NO.sub.2 and O.sub.2, and optionally HNO.sub.3, being supplied to the water-containing pulp in the activating stage; in the first alkaline stage, alkali being supplied as carbonate, primarily HCO.sub.3.sup.-, with oxygen gas having a partial pressure, on average, of from 0 to 0.2 MPa, the lignin content of the pulp being lowered in this stage so that the Kappa number of the pulp after the stage is from 10 to 60% of the Kappa number of the pulp entering the activating stage; in the second alkaline stage, alkali being supplied as carbonate, primarily CO.sub.3.sup.=, with oxygen gas at a partial pressure, on average, of from 0.1 to 3 MPa.

Pulp and oxygen are mixed by feeding the pulp and also feeding the oxygen to a mixer which has a grooved rotor closely spaced between two grooved discs to provide high intensity mixing zones.

A wood pump slurry is treated with oxygen in a mill with little change to the process or structure of the mill. No special pressure tanks are required. The consistency of the pulp need not be altered for the treatment step. It may be treated at the usual process consistency of the pulp; e.g., it may be treated at the usual consistency of the pulp leaving a washer or subsequent steam mixer without additional dewatering or additional dilution.The oxygen is added into a closed section of the system so that it cannot immediately vent to the atmosphere. Alkali should also be present when the oxygen is mixed with the slurry. The mixing should occur near to the point of oxygen addition.The oxygen is inserted into the pulp slurry and mixed with the pulp slurry between a washer and the subsequent storage tank.The mixing occurs in a relatively small mixter that intensively mixes the slurry and gas. The mixer has a mixing zone with a swept area of 10,000 to 1,000,000 square meters per metric ton of oven-dry pulp. A preferred range is 25,000 to 150,000 square meters per metric ton of oven-dry pulp and an optimum range of around 65,400 square meters per metric ton of oven-dry pulp.Other systems and specific mixer designs are also disclosed.

The consistency of the pulp need not be altered for the treatment step. It may be treated at the usual process consistency of the pulp; e.g., it may be treated at the usual consistency of the pulp leaving a washer or subsequent steam mixer without additional dewatering or additional dilution.The oxygen is added into a closed section of the system so that it cannot immediately vent to the atmosphere. Alkali should also be present when the oxygen is mixed with the slurry. The mixing should occur near to the point of oxygen addition.An existing extraction stage within the system may be used as a source of alkali. In an existing extraction stage, the mixer and upstream oxygen line would be placed in the line between the steam mixer and the extraction tower.The mixing occurs in a relatively small mixer that intensively mixes the slurry and the gas. The mixer has a mixing zone with a swept area of 10,000 to 1,000,000 square meters per metric ton of oven-dry pulp. A preferred range is 25,000 to 150,000 square meters per metric ton of oven-dry pulp and an optimum range of around 65,400 square meters per metric ton of oven-dry pulp.Other systems and specific mixer designs are also disclosed.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for the delignification of cellulosic fiber material to minimize the amount of reject material in the final pulp produced. The fiber material is digested, washed, oxygen delignified, and passed through a screening stage to provide a main pulp stream, and a reject stream from the separation stage. The flow and consistency of the separated reject material is determined, the reject material is refined, and sufficient chemical is added to the separated reject material, based upon the flow and consistency thereof, so that subsequent delignification of the reject material may be effected. This may be accomplished either by passing the reject material through a separate oxygen delignification stage and then returning it to the main pulp stream, or adding caustic to it and soaking it in a soak tank for predetermined period of time, and then returning it to the main pulp stream before the oxygen delignification stage therein.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for continuous oxygen bleaching of cellulosic pulp is provided utilizing first and second pressurized chambers with a number of tubes in fluid communication with both of first and second chambers. Oxygen bearing fluid is intimately mixed with digested cellulosic pulp and is continuously fed under pressure to the first chamber. Communication is selectively provided between the first and second chambers through at least one of the tubular members to allow passage of pulp from the member to the second chamber. The tubular member through which pulp flows to the second chamber is progressively changed as are the members through which passage is blocked, so that the pulp remains within each tubular member sufficient time to allow oxygen-bleaching thereof without degradation, and passes through the members without channelling. The oxygen bleached pulp is continuously discharged from the second chamber. The passage of pulp through the tubular members may either be downwardly or upwardly. The passage between the blocked tubular members and the second chamber is blocked in the first chamber by a rotating plate, the plate having an aperture rotated into communication with each member in turn, the members disposed in a circle.
