Cleaner Production of Wheat Straw Pulp HUANG

A pulping method using NH4OH with less amount of KOH as cooking liquor on wheat straw was developed. KOH could reduce consumption of NH3 and cooking time for its strong alkalinity. The effects of various pulping conditions such as composition of cooking liquor, liquid-to-solid ratio, maximum temperature, cooking time to the maximum temperature and cooking time at the maximum temperature were studied. Experimental results indicated that the rate of delignification was 85.12% and the pulp yield was 49.65% under suitable pulping conditions. It looks promising to use black liquor containing nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and organic substance as fertilizer resources for agricultural production. A new pattern of ecological cycling may be set up between paper industry and farming.

Pulping of Wheat Straw with Caustic Potash-Ammonia Aqueous Solutions and Its Kinetics

A pulping technology of wheat straw with aqueous ammonia and diluent caustic potash was investigated.Because its strong alkalinity, the addition of caustic potash not only reduced the quantity of NH3 consumed and cooking time, but also enriched the black liquor with nutrients such as potassium and nitrogen, which could be used as fertilizer for agriculture. Various pulping conditions including composition of cooking liquor, liquor-to-solid ratio,maximum cooking temperature, time to reach the maximum temperature and time at the maximum temperature were studied systematically to determine the suitable pulping conditions. Results of the cooking course showed that there were three distinct delignification phases, namely, the bulk delignification phase from the beginning of cooking to 100 ℃, the supplementary delignification phase from 100 ℃ to 155 ℃ for 45min and the third delignification phase till the end of cooking. The rate of delignification was found to be first order with respect to residual lignin and 0.34 order with respect to [OH-]. The activation energy of the delignification reaction was 29.75 kJ·mol-1 and the rate equation of delignification was also obtained.

Sulfite-Formaldehyde Pulping and Oxygen Delignification of Wheat Straw

In this study,wheat straw pulp was prepared by sulfiteformaldehyde(SF) pulping combined with oxygen delignification to develop a sustainable methodology for chemical pulping of straw materials.The bleachability of oxygen-delignified SF pulp was also evaluated by hypochlorite bleaching.The results indicated that the Na_2SO_3 charge played an important role in lignin removal during SF pulping as well as oxygen delignification.The efficiency of oxygen delignification of wheat straw SF pulp was markedly high.After the oxygenation stage,the Kappa number decreased by over 50%(the original Kappa number of SF pulp was lower than 30) when the Na OH charge was in the range of 3%~5%.The optimal conditions for preparing bleached pulp via combined SF pulping and oxygen delignification involved the use of 12% of Na_2SO_3 and 3% of Na OH,respectively.Pulp with relatively high brightness,a low Kappa number,as well as an acceptable viscosity could be obtained when oxygen-delignified SF pulp was bleached with hypochlorite under a low active chlorine dosage.

BIOPULPING OF WHEAT STRAW WITH PHANEROCHAETE CHRYSOSPORIUM

Wheat straw was cut into a certain size range and treated with a strain of the white rot fungus Phanerochatete Chrysosporium for 5 days before subjected to a chemi-mechanical treatment. Chemical analyses revealed the effects of the white rot fungus on the wheat straw components. SEM was applied to observe the changes in fiber micromorphological structures. CODcr of the effluent from the sulfonation treatment of wheat straw was also discussed. Handsheets made from the treated and untreated wheat straw exhibited different optical and physical properties after chemi-mechanical pulping.

CHARACTERISTICS OF BENTONITE AND ITS SYNERGISTIC RETENTION EFFECT WITH CPAM ON WHEAT STRAW PULP

The various properties of bentonite samples with different sources and their synergistic retention effect with CPAM on wheat straw pulps were investigated. The investigated properties of bentonite included adsorptive capacity based on methylene blue, cation-exchange capacity, swelling volume, colloidal volume, particle size and charge properties. The results show that particle size is the most important properties of bentonite for its synergistic retention effect with CPAM. Using Wyoming type sodium bentonite without drying after modification can obtain the excellent furnishes retention.

XYLANASE PREBLEACHING ON NaOH-AQ WHEAT STRAW PULP

Before calcium hypochlorite bleaching (H) and chlorination,alkaline extraction, calcium hypochlorite three-stage-bleaching (CEH),we used a kind of hemicellulase, xylanase, to treat wheat straw pulp from Gaoyou Papermill. Xylanase pretreatment contained tow stages, the first stage was xylanase treatment, which was followed by alkaline extraction, the second stage. The xylanase could act on partial lignin and carbohydrate, chiefly xylan. The following alkaline extraction could dissolve something that could not be removed during the first stage. The result of pretreatment was to facilitate penetration of bleaching chemicals, to reduce effective chlorine consumption and to lower pollution loading of bleaching effluent. In the case of these two bleaching processes, the enzymatic pretreatment substantially enhanced the optical properties of the pulps. To calcium hypochlorite bleaching, strength properties of pulps were improved.

Results show: Pretreatment of xylanase and laccase has better effect than of sole xylanase and sole laccase; Coordination can increase pulp brightness and bleachability, improve pulp filterability of water, lighten degree of effluent pollution in bleaching workshop, and develop overall strength properties of bleached pulp.

Mono Ethanol Amine (MEA) Pulping of Wheat Straw: An Environmentally Friendly Suggestion for the Fluff Pulp Production

This research aimed to investigate the effect of pulping conditions and refining intensities of wheat straw to be recommended for fluff pulp production.For this purpose,mono ethanol amine(MEA)was selected as a de-lignification agent at three levels of 50:50,25:75,and 15:85(MEA/water,W/V%),and soda-AQ 14 W/V%was used as a reference pulping.To investigate the optimal refining intensity,the obtained pulp was passed through a single disk laboratory refiner from 0 to 6 times and in two different consistencies(1.5 and 2.5 W/V%).Total yield,kappa number,ash content,and the Schopper-Riegler(SR°)freeness of the prepared pulps were investigated.Finally,hand sheets with a targeted basic weight of 70 g/m^(2) were made according to the related standards.The hand sheets were characterized using Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)spectroscopy and a field emission scanning electron microscope(FE-SEM).Sheet density,brightness,and mechanical properties such as burst,tensile,and tear indices were also investigated.The FE-SEM photographs showed that the texture of the hand sheet became denser as the refining intensity increased.External fibrillation on the surface of the fibers was also observed,especially on those refined with 2.5%consistency.The results of the chemical composition of wheat straw indicated that wheat straw containing a high percentage of holocellulose is an excellent candidate for the production of fluff pulp.The total yield and kappa number of MEA pulps increased with the decrease in MEA concentration.FTIR results indicated the presence of a peak related to amino groups in the pulp related to MEA pulp.The results also indicated that the mechanical properties of the papers,except for the tear index,were enhanced as the intensity of refining and the pulp consistency during refining increased.

在含氟防油剂经济用量范围内,针对麦草高得率浆抄造纸张防油效果不理想的问题,本研究对麦草高得率浆进行氧脱木质素处理,得到一系列不同卡伯值的麦草浆,探讨了麦草浆中木质素含量对防油剂作用效果的影响。结果表明,麦草浆中木质素含量对含氟防油剂的作用效果有明显影响,在防油剂质量分数1%(相对于绝干浆)的条件下,当麦草浆卡伯值降至<50.0时,麦草浆抄造纸张具有初步防油效果;当麦草浆卡伯值为30.0~50.0时,随着卡伯值降低,麦草浆抄造纸张的防油等级逐渐上升;当麦草浆卡伯值降至<30.0时,麦草浆抄造纸张防油等级达到最高等级(7级)。利用Owens-Wendt-Rabel-Kaelble (OWRK)法分析纸张的表面自由能,随着麦草浆中木质素的脱除,纸张的表面自由能不断降低,而极性比率不断升高,表明木质素的脱除有利于提高纸张防油效果。麦草浆中木质素含量也会影响防油剂用量,在一定防油等级要求下,麦草浆的卡伯值越低,所需防油剂用量越少。

麦草化学机械浆湿部化学特性及造纸滤水性差、干燥能耗高原因分析

麦草化学机械浆不仅得率高、强度性能好,而且纸浆生产成本低。但在造纸过程中存在纸浆水化程度高、滤水性差及纸干燥能耗大等突出问题。研究结果表明:在草片磨成浆进行消潜-筛选净化-浓缩-贮浆过程中,由于制浆残碱和温度的作用,纸浆中的半纤维素一直在持续溶出,表现在水相中阴离子物质的阳离子需要量增大、纸浆纤维表面的羧基含量增加,导致水化程度上升;溶解进入水相的半纤维素分子片段通过高价金属离子能重新回吸到纤维表面,进一步增大了纸浆的水化程度。采用羧甲基淀粉模拟半纤维素,在钙离子环境下重现了半纤维素的回吸现象验证实验。因此,在麦草化学机械浆生产过程中,半纤维素溶出与回吸不仅导致纸浆的水化程度加重,而且导致了纸成形时滤水性变差、干燥能耗高的重要原因。
