Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and system for oxygen delignification.
  • US 5217575 presented an improved system for the oxygen bleaching of pulp of medium consistency where this temperature profiling surprisingly showed that a lower temperature in a first phase may result in better delignification.
  • US 5217575 was shown that if an optimized single stage operated at 105°C was preceded by a phase operated at 20-40°C lower temperature, a better delignification could be obtained at higher selectivity.
  • US6221206 disclosed an alternative for temperature profiling where the difference in temperature should be kept between 0°C and 15°C. The aim was to obtain an improved yield and an improved viscosity, while retaining the same dwell time, in connection with industrial implementation.
  • SE-C 505 147 presents an alternative with instead a high pulp concentration, in the range of 25-40%, in a first phase and a lower concentration of 8-16% in a second phase, at the same time as the temperature in the second phase is to be higher than, or the same as, the temperature in the first phase.
  • the advantages of the solution in accordance with SE-C 505 147 are stated to be the possibility of admixing more oxygen in the first high-consistency phase without the risk of channeling. Here were unused quantities of oxygen bled off after the first phase for further admixture in a second mixer prior to the second phase.
  • a high-pressure alternative has been disclosed in SE526843 , where the initial pressure in first reactor is established above 15 bar, and where the pressure was maintained at high level throughout all phases of the oxygen delignification stage.
  • the idea is to increase the amount of oxygen dissolved in the liquid phase per liter liquid, and thus being able to react with the pulp.
  • the amount of inert gases produced increases throughout the phases, the net amount of oxygen dissolved may in fact decrease as the total pressure in the system is only the sum of the partial pressures from each gas present (CO, CO 2 , O 2 , etc.).
  • a method which comprises the steps of: cooking comminuted cellulosic fibrous material to produce brown stock having shives, washing the brown stock to produce chemical pulp at a consistency of between about 6-18 %, oxygen delignifying the chemical pulp and separating gas from the pulp during the oxygen delignification step, screening the oxygen delignified pulp to produce an accept fraction and a shive-containing reject fraction (where all the steps above are practiced in a main fiber line), further treating the accept fraction, and directly transporting the shive-containing reject fraction back to the main fiber line before the oxygen delignification step.
  • the disclosed method is, however, not directed to improvement of the oxygen delignification step itself, and is, for example, silent about the pressures that prevail in the oxygen delignification step.
  • EP1061173 relates to a method for treating lignocellulosic pulp, which method comprises the steps of: mixing the lignocellulosic pulp with alkali in a pulp soaking stage to create a mixture, mixing said mixture with both oxygen and steam to form a combined steam, and feeding said combined steam to a pressurized oxygen delignification stage to enable a reaction between the oxygen and the lignin in the lignocellulosic pulp, to remove colored materials from the lignocellulosic pulp.
  • the disclosed method is directed to reduction of capital equipment by obviating one stage of a two-stage oxygen delignification plant, which is achieved by the extra addition of alkali before the oxygen delignification step. Apart from the investments costs, the general advantages of a two-stage process are, however, acknowledged also in this document.
  • CA2190573 relates to a method for delignifying chemical pulp, comprising the steps of: feeding cooked pulp having a temperature above 70 °C from the brown stock washing to the delignification stage, adding alkali and oxygen and mixing the alkali and oxygen into the pulp, where at least part of the alkali is unoxidized white or green liquor.
  • the claimed process is said to preferably be carried out in at least two delignification steps and appears in practice to require an extra gas separating step between two delignification steps. In reality, on a pulp mill scale, there is, however, still a question how much the use of unoxidized white liquor impact the kappa reduction in the oxygen delignification stage.
  • high kappa pulp with kappa numbers after cook in the range 40-120, where a kappa number above 20 may be considered high for hardwood, is to be delignified, large amounts of oxygen is needed for delignification that may result in channeling in the stages. With high kappa number in pulp is also a large part of the oxygen charge consumed during delignification of the high kappa pulp.
  • a stage i.e. an oxygen delignification stage in this case, is the treatment done between two wash positions. What is done in said stage may also be divided into phases, with some changes effectively brought into next phase in aspects of chemical charges, heating and/or venting. Also, each phase may in turn be divided into zones where a first and a second zone of one phase may differ as to changes of chemical charges, heating and/or venting.
  • an oxygen delignification stage between 2 wash positions may be divided into phases, and each phase may in turn be divided into zones. This nomenclature is used throughout the description even if some prior art documents describe 2-phase delignification systems as 2 stage systems.
  • the wash positions may be performed in a number of ways, for example;
  • LC pulp low, medium and high consistency of pulp used to define the amount of liquid in the pulp suspension.
  • Low consistency (LC) in pulp is typically in the range 2-8%
  • medium consistency (MC) in the range 8-18%
  • high consistency (HC) typically above 30%.
  • LC pulp is so diluted that it behaves like water and the pulp suspension may be readily pumped by conventional liquid pumps.
  • MC is an intermediate range that is pumpable but requires special MC-pumps that fluidize the suspension, while high consistency pulp is not pumpable by conventional pumps and instead require transport screws etc. for feeding and transport.
  • One common aim of the invention is to improve oxygen delignification further and optimizing the order of oxygen dissolved in the pulp suspension such that the oxygen may react with the cellulose to a far greater extent than previously possible and make the oxygen delignification better suitable to high kappa cooking. While the shift to high kappa cooking and increased delignification order in oxygen stages has been known for many years to be beneficial for pulp strength from laboratory trials, mill implementations has been less frequent due to difficulties adding the necessary amounts of oxygen in a reactive phase after high kappa cooking.
  • the inert gases especially CO and CO 2
  • the inert gases acts parasitically on the solubility of oxygen in the liquid phase, and more or less substitutes the amount of dissolved oxygen.
  • the oxygen to the greatest extent possible is dissolved in the liquid phase such that the liquid may penetrate the cellulose fiber network and get in contact with the oxidizable material, i.e. lignin, in the cellulose fiber matrix.
  • Another aim is enable almost a total withdrawal of all inert gases that are formed and dissolved in the pulp suspension after a first phase of the oxygen delignification stage, where the oxidation process is fastest and produces most of the inert gases.
  • By dropping the pressure of the entire pulp suspension to a pressure close to atmospheric pressure could both the content of non-dissolved gases be removed, but also a large part of gases being dissolved in the liquid at higher pressure. A flashing effect is thus obtained.
  • venting away the inert gases before charging a fresh charge of oxygen to the pulp suspension could also the amount of oxygen being dissolved in the liquid phase be increased considerably as competing gas content has been reduced to a large extent.
  • the method according the invention is related to oxygen delignification of a medium consistency cellulose pulp suspension having a kappa number exceeding 18, and said pulp suspension passing through a first and a second oxygen delignification phases located between 2 wash positions (W 1 , W 2 ) for the pulp where said phases are separated by heating the pulp at least 5°C using steam after the first phase and ahead of the second phase, and both phases includes charge of alkali and oxygen to each of said first and second phase.
  • the inventive features of the method are that both the first and second phase is pressurized to an initial pressure exceeding 5 bar, and after the first phase is the pulp depressurized to an excess pressure below 0.5 bar, preferably depressurized to atmospheric pressure, i.e.
  • the method is further distinguished in that more than 90% of the inert gases, such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, formed during the oxidation process in the first phase, are vented away by the depressurization, and wherein the pulp suspension for the depressurization effect is fed to an upper part of a standpipe and exposed to pressure in the range 0-0.5 bar in the upper part of the standpipe having a height exceeding 3 meter.
  • This venting principle applied here reduce the pressure of the pulp suspension to such a level that the solubility all gases decreases, i.e. follows Henry's law, and enable efficient degasification in the stand pipe volume. It is specifically the inert gases formed during the first phase of delignification that needs to be removed. Even if some residual oxygen may be lost in this venting is the parasitic effect on oxygen solubility by the competing inert gases more dominant, and by proper dosing of the oxygen charge to the first phase could most of the oxygen charged by consumed in the first phase.
  • the inert gases such as carbon monoxide and carbon
  • This division of the first phases into multiple zones, i.e. at least 2 zones, enable a full utilization of the reaction kinetics of oxygen delignification, as most of the reactions in an oxygen delignification stage occurs during the first half of the total retention time of the oxygen delignification stage, and the bulk volume of inert gases are formed in this first half.
  • the retention time for the pulp suspension in the first phase shorter than the retention time in the second phase, and that the retention time of the first zone in the first phase is shorter than the retention time of the second zone in the first phase.
  • This sizing of reactors may enable an equal amount of oxygen charged to each phase, near the charge volume possible to mix into the pulp suspension with the mixers used, said charge being further optimized such that more than 90% is consumed in each phase and is not wasted in the following degassing step.
  • the medium consistency cellulose pulp suspension fed to the first phase obtained from a preceding thickening process producing a high consistency cellulose pulp at a consistency above 30% is the medium consistency cellulose pulp suspension fed to the first phase obtained from a preceding thickening process producing a high consistency cellulose pulp at a consistency above 30%, and that the medium consistency cellulose pulp suspension is produced by mixing the high consistency cellulose pulp from the thickening process with oxidized filtrate.
  • oxidized filtrate for forming the medium consistency pulp avoids adding oxidizable matter into the pulp suspension, which oxidizable matter produce hydroxyl radicals during the oxygen stage and in presence of cellulose pulp reduce the viscosity of the pulp.
  • a final embodiment of the inventive method is the pulp suspension after the first zone in the first phase depressurized to an excess pressure below 0.5 bar, preferably depressurized to atmospheric pressure, i.e. within a pressure interval between 0 to 0.5 bar, and residual gases released from the pulp during depressurization are vented away before the start of the second zone of the first phase, and wherein a charge of oxygen to the second zone in the first phase is charged to the pulp after the residual gases has been vented away, and wherein the charge of oxygen to the second zone of the first phase is distributed into the pulp using a mixer, thus establishing increased partial pressure of the oxygen in the pulp.
  • This repeated venting of inert gases formed initially in the oxygen stage is especially suitable for oxygen delignification of high kappa pulps and when the filtrate added contains high concentration of COD, which in total introduce huge amounts of oxidizable material to the oxygen stage, and thus generates extreme amounts of inert gases during the oxygen delignification.
  • the invention comprises a system for oxygen delignification of a medium consistency cellulose pulp suspension having a kappa number exceeding 18, and where said system is located between 2 wash positions, said medium consistency pulp suspension first pressurized by a first pump passing the pulp to at least a first oxygen mixer and directly thereafter to at least a first oxygen delignification reactor in a first delignification phase.
  • the first delignification phase is the pulp suspension heated in a steam mixer ahead of a second phase in a second oxygen delignification reactor such that said phases are separated by heating the pulp at least 5°C using steam after the first phase and ahead of the second phase, and both phases include charge of alkali and oxygen to each of said first and second phase.
  • the system is further distinguished in that both the first and second phase is pressurized by said pumps to an initial pressure exceeding 5 bar in each of the oxygen delignification reactors, and after the first phase is the pulp depressurized to an excess pressure below 0.5 bar over a valve located in an outlet from the first oxygen delignification reactor, preferably depressurized to atmospheric pressure, i.e. within a pressure interval between 0 to 0.5 bar, in a vented standpipe.
  • Residual gases released from the pulp during depressurization are vented away in a degassing line connected to the standpipe before the start of the second phase, and wherein the charge of oxygen to the second phase is charged to a second oxygen mixer to the pulp after the residual gases has been vented away, and wherein the charge of oxygen to the second phase is distributed into the pulp using the second mixer, thus establishing increased partial pressure of the oxygen in the pulp in a second oxygen delignification reactor.
  • the system is designed in such a way that more than 90% of the inert gases, such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, formed during the oxidation process in the first phase, are vented away by the depressurization over the valve located in the outlet from the first oxygen delignification reactor.
  • the pulp suspension for the depressurization effect is fed from the valve and to an upper part of a standpipe and exposed to pressure in the range 0-0.5 bar in the upper part of the standpipe having a height exceeding 3 meters.
  • a stand pipe connected to atmosphere and with this height enable a sufficient practical volume for establishing a retention time in this stand pipe that may allow inert gases to separate over time.
  • the system is designed such that the first phase is divided into at least 2 zones, with reactors in each zone and both zones includes charge of oxygen to each of said first and second zones of the first phase using mixers ahead of each zone.
  • this staging of zones enables maximal charges of oxygen to each phase and zones, without causing losses of oxygen in subsequent degassing and minimum risks for gas channeling in the system.
  • This kind of staging is also preferably designed such that the retention time for the pulp suspension in the first phase is shorter than the retention time in the second phase, and that the retention time of the first zone in the first phase is shorter than the retention time of the second zone in the first phase, said retention times established by increasing storage volume in reactors of each phase or zone.
  • the medium consistency cellulose pulp suspension fed to the first phase obtained from a preceding thickening process producing a high consistency cellulose pulp at a consistency above 30% is produced by mixing the high consistency cellulose pulp from the thickening process with oxidized filtrate obtained from a filtrate tank in a wash arranged after the last phase and having passed through an oxidizing reactor (RE).

  • the oxidation produces more inert gases, with higher kappa number and/or higher COD content in filtrate, may additional venting be implemented also after a first zone in the first phase.
  • What embodiment of the invention is to be chosen depends on the rate and amount of oxidation that occurs in first phase, which order of oxidation may be controlled by measuring the temperature profile of the pulp suspension. If the temperature increase due to the exothermic reactions are modest and slow it may be fully sufficient with a 2-reactor system, with venting in between, and further costs for a third reactor and additional mixer could likely not be motivated by the smaller improvement in selectivity. If the temperature increase is very rapid in the first phase it is fair to assume that the filtrate contains high COD content, as this COD content is much easier to oxidize than the organic matter bound to the cellulose, and hence the motivation to invest in a filtrate oxidation reactor RE may be fully motivated by the improvement in selectivity.

    und wobei die Zufuhr von Sauerstoff zu der zweiten Phase zu einem zweiten Sauerstoffmischer (M3) der Pulpe zugeführt wird, nachdem die Restgase abgeleitet wurden, und wobei die Zufuhr von Sauerstoff zu der zweiten Phase mittels des zweiten Mischers in die Pulpe hinein verteilt wird, wodurch in einem zweiten Sauerstoffdelignifizierungsreaktor (O22) ein erhöhter Partialdruck des Sauerstoffs in der Pulpe erzeugt wird.
  8. System nach Anspruch 7, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass über 90 % der während des Oxidationsvorgangs in der ersten Phase gebildeten Inertgase, wie z. B. Kohlenmonoxid und Kohlendioxid, durch die Druckentlastung über das Ventil (V2), das sich in dem Auslass aus dem ersten Sauerstoffdelignifizierungsreaktor (O21B) befindet, abgeleitet werden, und wobei die Pulpesuspension für die Druckentlastungswirkung aus dem Ventil und zu einem oberen Teil eines Standrohrs zugeführt wird und im oberen Teil des Standrohrs, das eine Höhe über 3 m aufweist, einem Druck im Bereich von 0 bis 0,5 bar ausgesetzt wird.
  9. System nach Anspruch 7, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die erste Phase in mindestens 2 Zonen unterteilt ist, mit Reaktoren in jeder Zone, und beide Zonen eine Zufuhr von Sauerstoff jeweils zu der ersten und der zweiten Zone der ersten Phase mittels Mischern vor jeder Zone einschließen.
  10. System nach Anspruch 9, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Retentionszeit für die Pulpesuspension in der ersten Phase kürzer ist als die Retentionszeit in der zweiten Phase, und dass die Retentionszeit der ersten Zone in der ersten Phase kürzer ist als die Retentionszeit der zweiten Zone in der ersten Phase, wobei die Retentionszeiten durch ein zunehmendes Speichervolumen in Reaktoren jeder Phase oder Zone erzeugt werden.
  11. System nach Anspruch 7, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die der ersten Phase zugeführte Cellulosepulpesuspension von mittlerer Konsistenz aus einem vorangehenden Eindickungsvorgang (W1) erhalten wird, der eine Cellulosepulpe von hoher Konsistenz mit einer Konsistenz über 30 % produziert, und dass die Cellulosepulpesuspension von mittlerer Konsistenz durch Mischen der Cellulosepulpesuspension von hoher Konsistenz aus dem Eindickungsvorgang mit oxidiertem Filtrat, das aus einem Filtrattank in einer nach der letzten Phase angeordneten Wäsche erhalten ist und einen Oxidationsreaktor (RE) durchlaufen hat, produziert wird.
