Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the bleaching of paper pulp, especially mechanical paper pulp, through a bleaching treatment with hydrogen peroxide and an alkali source.
  • Such bleaching treatment usually involves the use of peroxide stabilizers.
  • the US patent 6221209 of SOLVAY INTEROX relates to a process for bleaching a chemical paper pulp by first purifying the pulp so as to reduce its manganese content and then by bleaching it with hydrogen peroxide in alkaline medium, especially at a pH adjusted to at least 10 by the addition of an alkaline compound (i.e. sodium hydroxide), and in the presence of a stabilizing agent, namely sodium silicate.
  • an alkaline compound i.e. sodium hydroxide
  • magnesium hydroxide is used as alkaline source in the hydrogen peroxide bleaching of mechanical paper pulp, it is difficult to achieve a satisfactory brightness, and the consumption of hydrogen peroxide for a given brightness is high.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide a process which does not present the above disadvantages and which enables to obtain a higher paper pulp brightness compared to the known use of other alkaline sources than sodium hydroxide, such as magnesium hydroxide or calcium hydroxide.
  • the purpose of the present invention is also to provide a process which allows decreasing the consumption of hydrogen peroxide for a given brightness.
  • the present invention therefore relates to a process for the bleaching of paper pulp in which an aqueous suspension of paper pulp is subjected to a bleaching treatment with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of at least one alkaline earth hydroxide selected from magnesium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide and of at least one poly- ⁇ -hydroxyacrylic acid, its salt or their mixture.
  • alkaline earth hydroxides such as magnesium hydroxide and/or calcium hydroxide as alkaline source
  • sodium silicate cannot be used when using alkaline earth hydroxides such as magnesium hydroxide and/or calcium hydroxide as alkaline source, because it forms precipitates with those products, leading to scaling.
  • Such scaling creates problems in the whole production line including in the paper machine, when the mill is an integrated site.
  • alkaline earth hydroxides such as magnesium hydroxide and/or calcium hydroxide
  • the common practice is to bleach without any stabilizer, except aminopolycarboxylic acids or their salts, such as diethylene triamine penta-acetic acid (DTPA) or its sodium salt which will act as chelating agents and will therefore limit the decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide which is catalyzed by transition metals such as manganese or iron.
  • DTPA diethylene triamine penta-acetic acid
  • the conditions present during the bleaching are usually not suitable for a good efficiency of such chelating agents and therefore the
  • alkaline earth hydroxide selected from magnesium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide as alkaline source
  • PHAA poly- ⁇ -hydroxyacrylic acid, its salt or their mixtures
  • the PHAA used in the process of the invention generally has a molecular weight within a specific range. As the molecular weight is rather difficult to measure, it is inferred by measuring the viscosity, the higher the molecular weight, the higher the viscosity. Viscosity in the range of 10 to 100 mPa.s is usual but more particularly it can be in the range of 20 to 60 mPa.s. Commonly, the PHAA is used as a sodium salt of poly- ⁇ -hydroxyacrylic acid, corresponding to sodium poly- ⁇ -hydroxyacrylate (referred to as PHAS). In the invention, good results are obtained using only one PHAA. Nevertheless, more than one PHAA can be used.
  • PHAS sodium poly- ⁇ -hydroxyacrylate

  • the pH of the aqueous suspension during the bleaching treatment is measured using equipment normally found in pulp mills for such a purpose.
  • the natural pH of the paper pulp suspension is adjusted to the required value by means of an alkaline compound comprising at least one alkaline earth hydroxide selected from magnesium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide.
  • the amount of alkaline earth hydroxide according to the invention, used in the bleaching step of the present invention is generally such that the pH of the suspension is maintained within the above-mentioned range. This amount is usually at least 0,1 % by weight of dry pulp, preferably at least 1% by weight of dry pulp, more preferably at least 2% by weight of dry pulp.
  • the amount of alkaline earth hydroxide according to the invention, used in the bleaching step of the present invention is generally at most 10% by weight of dry pulp, with particular preference at most 5% by weight of dry pulp.
  • the amount of alkaline earth hydroxide according to the invention, used in the bleaching step of the present invention is for instance of from 2 to 5% by weight of dry pulp, for example about 3% by weight of dry pulp.
  • the amount of alkaline earth hydroxide according to the invention depends on the amount of hydrogen peroxide used and on the type of pulp.
  • the ratio alkaline earth hydroxide according to the invention / hydrogen peroxide can for example vary from 0,3 to 2,5, preferably from 0,5 to 2,0 depending on the amount of hydrogen peroxide added and on the type of pulp. For example, the ratio may be about 1.
  • the alkaline earth hydroxide according to the invention is usually added to the paper pulp suspension in the form of an aqueous slurry.
  • the particle size of the alkaline earth hydroxide according to the invention is sufficiently small for the slurry to be readily suspendible, advantageously having a mean particle size of less than about 10 ⁇ m, preferably less than 6 ⁇ m, for example about 2 ⁇ m.
  • the bleaching step of the invention is generally carried out at a consistency of at least 10 % of dry pulp based on the weight of pulp suspension.
  • the efficiency of the process increases as the consistency is increased up to a value of around 30 % by weight of dry pulp.

  • the amount of hydrogen peroxide may be about 2 to 4% by weight of dry pulp.
  • the bleaching treatment of the invention is usually carried out at a temperature equal to or higher than 40°C, especially equal to or higher than 60°C.
  • the temperature can be up to about 100°C.
  • the temperature is preferably less than 100°C, more preferably equal to or less than 95°C, for example equal to or less than 85°C.
  • the optimum bleach temperature depends on the wood type and pulping process but is normally in the range of 60 to 95°C.
  • the duration of the bleaching treatment of the process of the invention is usually from 10 min to 6 h, varying from mill to mill. For instance, it can vary from 30 to 300 min.
  • the bleaching treatment can be carried out at a pH of from 8 to 14, at a consistency of from 10 to 40 %, and at a temperature of from 60 to 95°C, during 1 to 4 hours.
  • the amount of PHAA, especially PHAS, used in the bleaching step of the invention is usually equal to or higher than 0,05 % by weight of dry pulp, especially equal to or higher than 0,1 % by weight of dry pulp.
  • the amount of PHAA is commonly equal to or lower than 2 % by weight of dry pulp, values of at most 1 % being suitable.
  • typical amounts of PHAA are about 0,1 to 0,5 % by weight of dry pulp.
  • the optimum amount is dependent on the amount of metallic ions in the pulp and must be optimized for each particular mill.
  • the bleaching step of the invention can be carried out in the presence of any other alkaline or alkaline earth hydroxides than the alkaline earth hydroxides according to the invention, such as in the presence of sodium hydroxide.

  • the aqueous suspension of the paper pulp may be subjected to a chelating treatment to reduce the metallic ion content of the suspension, and especially its manganese content. It is for example usual to carry out a pretreatment step (or chelating treatment), with at least one aminopolycarboxylic acid, its salt or their mixture (referred to as APCA) prior to the bleaching treatment.
  • a pretreatment step or chelating treatment
  • APCA aminopolycarboxylic acid, its salt or their mixture
