Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for reducing the content of residual active chlorine in bleached and/or delignified pulp by treating said pulp with an aqueous liquid obtained by absorbing at least on sulfur compound from flue gas.
- Chlorine based chemicals particularly chlorine dioxide, are often used for bleaching or delignifying cellulose pulp, which then generally contains some residual active chlorine.
- At least partial removal of the active chlorine can be effected by washing with sulfur dioxide water, as described in e.g. TAPPI, "Bleach Plant Operations Short
- the invention thus concerns a processes for reducing the content of residual active chlorine in bleached and/or delignified pulp comprising the steps:
- step (a) contacting flue gas comprising at least one sulfur compound with an aqueous liquid to at least partially absorb said at least one sulfur compound, such as SO 2 , and yield one or more reducing sulfur compounds in said aqueous liquid; and, (b) contacting the bleached and/or delignified pulp with the aqueous liquid obtained in step (a), wherein said reducing sulfur compound reacts with the active chlorine in the pulp and decreases the content thereof.
- the gaseous substances normally include organic or inorganic sulfur compounds such as mercaptanes and sulfides, and will in this description be referred to as pulp cooking exhaust gases.
- these gases can be combusted in a destruction furnace, optionally together with any suitable fuel, preferably derived from the pulping process, but also mineral oil or the like can be used.
- the flue gas- obtained from the combustion normally comprises SO 2 and/or other water soluble sulfur compounds, so when this flue gas is contacted with an aqueous liquid, for example in a scrubber, such water soluble sulfur compounds are absorbed to yield one or more reducing sulfur compound, suitably in a total amount from about 0.1 to about 700 g/litre, preferably up to about 400 g/litre most preferably from about 50 to about 400 g/litre.
- Reducing sulfur compounds refers to compounds where the sulfur has an oxidation number of not more than V, preferably not more than IV.
- reducing sulfur compounds examples include sulfite (SO 3 2" ), bisulfite (HSO 3 ' ) and metabisulfite (S 2 O 5 2" ) ions, or mixtures thereof.
- the aqueous liquid used for the absorption is suitably alkaline, preferably with a pH from about 7 to about 15, and preferably comprises alkali metal hydroxide, for example in an amount from about 0.1 to about 60 wt%, preferably from about 10 to about 50 wt%. It is also possible to use white liquor, i.e. the aqueous liquid used in alkaline cooking of cellulose pulp, which liquor as a main component contains alkali metal hydroxide in an amount within the above range.
- the aqueous liquid obtained by the absorption of sulfur compounds from flue gas thus suitably contains alkali metal sulfite, bisulfite or metabisulfite, or mixtures thereof, suitably in a total amount from about 0.1 to about 700 g/litre, preferably up to about 400 g/litre, most preferably from about 50 to about 400 g/litre.
- the pH is from about 1 to about 14, most preferably from about 2 to about 10. In most cases a suitable pH is obtained after completed absorption.
- the liquid obtained by the absorption for the presence of any impurities such as soot particles, which may disturb the process or damage the pulp. If such impurities are detected, the liquid should not be used for reducing the active chlorine, but rather be transferred to the cooking chemicals recovery system.
- the pulp in most cases contains from about 0.1 to about 2 kg active chlorine per tonne pulp, typically from about 0.5 to about 1 kg active chlorine per tonne pulp, which active chlorine normally comprises CIO 2 and/or Cl 2 .
- active chlorine normally comprises CIO 2 and/or Cl 2 .
- CIO 2 and Cl 2 particularly CIO 2
- the active chlorine is reduced, normally to mainly yield chloride and sulfate ions, or other substantially harmless species. This is exemplified with following formulas showing the reactions of chlorine dioxide with sulfite and bisulfite, respectively:
- Alkali metal in this description refer to any alkali metal such as sodium, potassium or mixtures thereof.
- the process of the invention is particularly useful for treating cellulose pulp, e.g. chemical pulp, bleached and/or delignified in a sequence including at least one step using chlorine dioxide.
- the treatment of the pulp is performed at the end of or immediately after a chlorine dioxide based bleaching and/or delignification step.
- the treatment may, for example, be performed in a washing step.
- at least about stochiometric amounts of the reducing sulfur compound is added, while the upper limit is not critical and is only determined by the availability of reducing sulfur compounds.
- the reducing sulfur compound is used in an excess from about 0 to about 1000 %, preferably from about 0 to about 100 % above stochiometric amounts.
- the temperature critical it may for example be from about 10 to about 150°C, preferably from about 40 to about 90°C.
- EXAMPLE 1 At a pulp mill 38 tonnes/h of sulfate pulp was produced and bleached in a sequence comprising a chlorine dioxide step. Flue gas from a destruction furnace for cooking exhaust gases was scrubbed in aqueous sodium hydroxide to yield 350 litre/h of an aqueous solution containing 70 g/litre of SO 3 2" and HSO 3 " , and having a pH of 7.0. By treating the bleached pulp with the sodium sulfite and bisulfite containing solution at a temperature of 73°C the content of active chlorine was decreased from 0.49 kg/tonne pulp to 0.12 kg/tonne pulp.
- EXAMPLE 2 At the pulp mill of Example 1 pulp filtrate from the last chlorine dioxide bleaching step was taken out and four samples of 100 ml were treated with various amounts of a sodium sulfite and bisulfite containing aqueous solution obtained by absorption of flue gas as in Example 1.
- the aqueous solution contained 0.81 moles/litre of SO 3 2' and HSO 3 " , and had a pH of 6.78. The results appear in the table below:
