Influence of Chemical Pretreatment on the Dissolved Organics in Poplar Alkaline Peroxide Mechanical Pulping Effluent

The components of the effluent from the chemical pretreatment of poplar alkaline peroxide mechanical pulp(APMP) were analyzed in this study. The main dissolved organics were low-molecular weight(LMW) lignin, oligosaccharides, and monosaccharides. The lignin and sugar concentrations in the effluent obtained using different chemical pretreatment conditions and chemical dosages were analyzed using ultraviolet(UV) spectroscopy. This analysis provided a theoretical basis for the subsequent treatment and utilization of APMP effluent. The experimental results showed that the dosages of Na OH, H_2O_2, and Na_2 SiO_3 in the chemical pretreatment process affected the lignin and sugar concentrations in the effluent and that different chemicals had differing degrees of influence. The degree of influence exhibited the following order: Na OH>H_2O_2>Na_2SiO_3. More specifically, the dosages of Na OH and H_2O_2 had stronger influences on the lignin and sugar concentrations than that of Na_2 SiO_3. Indeed, the Na_2 SiO_3 dosage hardly affected the lignin and sugar concentrations in the effluent, but Na_2 SiO_3 could stabilize the chemical pretreatment system and improve the reactive efficiency of Na OH and H_2O_2. The pretreatment temperature and time also affected the organic components, and the influence of the temperature was stronger than that of time.

The components of the effluent from the chemical pretreatment of poplar alkaline peroxide mechanical pulp （APMP） were analyzed in this study. The main dissolved organics were low-molecular weight （LMW） lignin, oligosaccharides, and monosaccharides. The lignin and sugar concentrations in the effluent obtained using different chemical pretreatment conditions and chemical dosages were analyzed using ultraviolet （UV） spectroscopy. This analysis provided a theoretical basis for the subsequent treatment and utilization of APMP effluent. The experimental results showed that the dosages of NaOH, H2O2, and Na/SiO3 in the chemical pretreatment process affected the lignin and sugar concentrations in the effluent and that different chemicals had differing degrees of influence. The degree of influence exhibited the following order： NaOH〉H2O2〉Na2SiO3. More specifically, the dosages of NaOH and H2O2 had stronger influences on the lignin and sugar concentrations than that of Na2SiO3. Indeed, the NazSiO3 dosage hardly affected the lignin and sugar concentrations in the effluent, but Na2SiO3 could stabilize the chemical pretreatment system and improve the reactive efficiency of NaOH and H2O2. The pretreatment temperature and time also affected the organic components, and the influence of the temperature was stronger than that of time.
