A review with 27 refs. The combination of oxygen, ozone, and chlorine

dioxide in pulping and bleaching processes will enhance overall mill

performance and will deliver a very cost effective ECF pulp product.

Aside from its inherent environmental and marketing advantages, such

a combination reduces significantly the consumption of chlorine dioxide

over std. ECF pulp and could be the basis of the "closed" mill without

having to go the TCF route. The use of oxygen delignification has

significant yield advantages over extended cooking. The combination

of ozone and chlorine dioxide in a single stage gives a powerful bleach

sequence that can accommodate much higher Kappa nos. with

corresponding yield increases than the accepted 10 Kappa for TCF

bleaching. The mill implementation of ozone with chlorine dioxide can

be done at low, medium or high consistency. Three mills in Finland,

Brazil and South Africa are proceeding with two of the three processes.

This paper examines oxygen delignification and the impact on yield

and loads to the boiler. The combination of ozone and chlorine dioxide

in high and medium consistency is revisited in existing applications,

and a process to accommodate a low consistency application is

introduced. Uses of the oxygen-rich vent gas from an ozone stage

previously presented is mentioned so that the overall concept can be

economically reviewed on a mill by mill basis.

To prevent a loss of cultured sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius

caused by spotting disease, effects of treatments by low temp.,

disinfectants, drugs, UV irradn., and oxidant on the control of growth

and pathogenicity of the causative bacterium, Flexibacter sp. 12-N

using a representative strain were examd. Pathogenicity of the

bacterium was not exhibited in the exptl. infection at 15癈, which was

near the lowest growth temp. of the bacterium. The bacterium showed

high sensitivity to erythromycin, oleandomycin and lincomycin, but was

resistant to kanamycin and nalidixic acid. Susceptibilities of the

bacterium to UV irradn. and oxidant were high, similar to those

reported for fish pathogenic bacteria. Moreover, among the eight

disinfectants tested in vitro, treatment with a 300 ppm hydrogen

peroxide for 5 min at 15癈 was found to disinfect significantly the

bacterium without any injurious effect to the sea urchins.

The photolysis of aq. OClO, a key reaction in the understanding of atm.

photochem., was studied using femtosecond spectroscopy. These

results resolve the current dispute over the chlorine dioxide photolysis

and provide a detailed and complete example of chem. reaction

dynamics in liqs. Two channels are active in the photolysis: (i) the

formation of Cl atoms with a quantum yield of 0.07 * 0.03 and (ii) the

formation of ClO+O, that geminately recombine as a result of caging

and forms vibrationally excited OClO, which subsequently relaxes to the

vibrational ground state on a 10 ps time scale. By continuously tuning

the photolysis wavelengths from 400 to 300 nm, a gradual increase in

the cage escape yield was obsd., as the kinetic energy of the oxygen

atom becomes sufficient to break the solvent cage.

Closing the loop in ECF bleach plants requires a decrease in the

consumption of ClO2. For easily bleached pulps with low kappa nos.,

the decrease can be achieved by switching from a O D(EOP)DED to a

O QPDP or O QPZP sequence. For pulps with higher kappa nos.,

more delignifying power is required. With proper conditions, the Q

stage can be used as a (DQ) stage. In this way, the same tower can be

used both for delignification and metal management for the following

peroxide stage. Similarly, the Z stage can be run as a (ZQ) stage. In

lab trials with (DQ)P bleaching, using a softwood pulp optimum

peroxide, stability was achieved at a charge of 15 kg ClO2 ptp (active

Cl). Acceptable H2O2 residuals were achieved with charges between

10 and 25 kg ClO2 ptp, in spite of an extensive degrdn. of EDTA to

oxalic acid at the highest ClO2 charge. Lab trials with (ZQ)P bleaching,

using a hardwood pulp, showed that the H2O2 residual increased with

an increase in O3 charge from 1 to 5 kg ptp, in spite of an increased

degrdn. of EDTA. The results showed that improved bleaching

sequences can be introduced in old bleach plants without the need for

extra bleach towers or washing equipment.

 

 

155. Transition metal removal before a (PO) stage in ECF sequences.

The use of hydrogen peroxide as a bleaching chem. for kraft pulps has

increased substantially during the latest years, as the general bleaching

trends have moved towards ECF and TCF bleaching technologies.

The recently introduced (PO) bleaching technol. which improves both

delignification and brightening, has rapidly been implemented in com.

scale. There are two main advantages of introducing a (PO) stage in

an ECF sequences. The consumption of active chlorine can be

reduced by 25% when converting a D(EOP)DD sequence to

(DQ)(PO)D. By optimizing the sequence (DQ)(PO)D, the formation of

AOX can be reduced substantially. The first chlorine dioxide stage is

by itself a good way of reducing the manganese content in the pulp. In

most cases however, the redn. is not enough for a good performance of

the (PO) stage. In order to avoid an extra washing stage like in the

sequence DQ(PO)D, other alternative chelating agent treatments have

been investigated. This presentation shows that effective chelating

agent treatments can be performed in the following way: chelating

agent treatment in the high d. storage tower between the oxygen stage

and the bleach plant, like in the sequence OQD(PO)D; combination of

the Q and D stages, like in the sequence (DQ)(PO)D, with sequential

addn. of chlorine dioxide and chelating agent.

The order of hydrogen peroxide (P) and chlorine dioxide (D1) stages in

an ECF sequence has been shown to affect the final brightness in

Southern and Northern softwood and eucalyptus kraft pulps. The

Southern softwood pulp bleached using the sequence DEopDPP had

consistently higher interstage and final brightnesses than the

DEopPDP sequence. Northern softwood and eucalyptus pulps were

each bleached using DEDP and DEPD sequences. In each case

higher brightnesses were achieved when the D1 stage preceded the P

stage. The effect was esp. evident with the hardwood pulp where over

3% ISO points higher brightness was seen for the DEDP sequence.

Lignin was extd. from the brownstock, DE-stage, DEP stage and DED

stage pulps and analyzed by 31P NMR. The arom. lignin content of

softwood pulp was reduced by 60% following the D, stage (DED) but

was essentially unchanged when treated by peroxide (DEP). For the

hardwood pulp, lignin content following the D1 stage (DED) was

reduced by 90-95%. The improved bleaching response of the DEDP

pulp in comparison to the DEPD pulp is consistent with documented

reactivities of hydrogen peroxide and chlorine dioxide toward specific

lignin structures. In the DEDP sequence, chlorine dioxide of the D1

stage reduces the arom. content of pulp so that the following hydrogen

peroxide stage can more effectively react with non-arom. species.

Conversely, during bleaching with a DEPD sequence, the P-stage is

less effective in reducing arom. lignin content prior to the D1 stage and

therefore is beneficial to a lesser degree prior to the D1 stage. This

effect is clearly manifested as a lower brightness. It is also reflected as

a reduced sensitivity to bleaching with increasing hydrogen peroxide

charges.

 

 

157. (DZ) and (ZD) bleaching: fundamentals and application.

Combinations of O3 and ClO2 in (DZ) or (ZD) stages in replacement of

D stages can be very efficient in terms of chem. savings as well as in

decreasing the AOX generated during ECF bleaching of kraft pulps.

(DZ) was superior to (ZD) when applied on an unbleached pulp,

whereas the contrary was obsd. when they were implemented on an

O-bleached pulp. The chem. structure of the lignin (I), as well as the

chem. of both reagents with this residual I could explain these results.

Lab. and pilot trials showed that 1 kg of O3 could substitute for *3 kg of

ClO2. AOX formation was decreased as a consequence of the

decrease in ClO2 charge. Min. AOX was formed when neutralization

was performed between Z and D in (ZD). The choice between (DZ)

and (ZD) will depend mainly on the existing installation or on the

process.

 

 

158. Degradation of dirt particles by kraft pulp bleaching reagents.

Six kraft pulp bleaching reagents were investigated to see how

effective they were at removing dirt particles. The dirt particles were

obtained from kraft pulping rejects and were added to a partially

bleached, com. softwood kraft pulp with kappa no. 2.0 and brightness

61.4% Elrepho. The rejects, primarily shives and knots, were

disk-refined at low plate clearance to decrease the av. size of the fiber

bundles. After refining, the rejects had a Canadian Std. Freeness

(CSF) of 650 mL and a kappa no. of 83. Dirt bleaching was monitored

by quantifying residual particles using an image anal. method

standardized against Tappi Method T 213 om-89, and by measuring

the decrease in bleached brightness or increase in light absorption

coeff. when the reject content was increased from 1.0% to 3.0% on

pulp. The 6 reagents were ClO2 (D), O (O), H2O2 (P), O3 (Z), Caro's

acid (K), and peracetic acid (PAA). The ranking was

PAA=D>K>P>O=Z. The 2 most effective oxidants (PAA and D) were

effective delignifiers and brighteners. Also, unlike O3, they were not

rapidly consumed. Caro's acid was a less effective brightener, while

H2O2 was a less effective delignifier. The poor ranking for O was

caused by its inability to completely de-lignify the 83 kappa no.

particles that were used. O3 was ineffective because of its high

reactivity; it was consumed before it had time to diffuse into some dirt

particles with low porosity.

The residual monoterpenes in pulp entering the bleach plant may react

with Cl-contg. bleaching agents to form chlorinated products. The

chem. structures of products from reactions of several monoterpenes

with ClO2 were detd. In the 1st stage of research, pure a-pinene (I) and

p-cymene (II) were reacted with aq. ClO2 at 75* for 3.5 h. The products

were sepd. and analyzed by gas chromatog. mass spectrometry and

NMR spectrometry. 2-Chlorobornane-6-one was identified as the

major product from the reaction of I with ClO2. 9-Chloro-p-cymen-8-ol

(III) was the major product from reaction of II with ClO2. Minor amts. of

other mono- and dichlorinated reaction products were also found. In

the 2nd part of the work, softwood kraft pulp was impregnated with II

and bleached with ClO2; III was not found in the D-stage filtrate. These

studies showed that, even with aggressive treatment, the main

chlorinated products from the reaction of monoterpenes with ClO2 are

only monochlorinated. It was therefore concluded that, under the much

milder conditions found in pulp bleaching with ClO2, highly chlorinated

products will not be produced.

The purpose of the study was to find operating conditions of ECF

(elementary Cl-free) DEopDD bleaching of oxygen-delignified

softwood kraft pulp to ensure high brightness with the min. of AOX

(absorbable org. halogen compds.) content. High brightness

(88.5-89% ISO) can be achieved even with a reduced kappa factor.

The amts. of ClO2 required in the last stages are higher than in the ref.,

but the total amt. fo ClO2 remains const. When ClO2 charge is

redistributed to the final stages, AOX levels are reduced by 67%. Low

AOX levels ~o.2 kg/ton are measured before any effluent treatment.

Reinforcing the extn. stage with H2O2 is a way to ensure high brightness

with brightness gain up to 0.9% ISO. Splitting the charge of ClO2 can

also improve the efficiency of ClO2.

Formation of adsorbable org. halogen compds. (AOX) during ClO2

bleaching of pulp could be decreased by adding chems. which reacted

selectively with ClOH (or Cl2) generated during the process. However,

2 problems were found, i.e., (A) the quantity of ClOH formed during

ClO2 delignification was large and represented 70% of the initial ClO2

charge (on a molar basis); consequently high charges of additive will

be necessary, and (B) destruction of ClOH had an adverse effect on

bleaching; ClOH would contribute to one third of the delignification

obsd. in the presence of ClO2. Addn. of Fe2+, which was supposed to

favor the generation of ClO2 from HClO2, had a neg. effect on

delignification and caused viscosity loss.

One remaining issue for ClO2 technol. in closed loop mills is the

formation of byproduct Na2SO4, which cannot be used as a make-up

chem. in a more closed pulp mill. Results from lab and pilot tests show

that a ClO2 generator can be integrated with a salt splitter to give an

efficient process that is easy to control and has low operating costs.

SVP-GLS is a salt cake-free ClO2 process, operating without any

solids, and thus, without the formation of Na2SO4 byproduct. In the

Generator Liquor Split (GLS) process, the generator liquor is

electrochem. acidified, with a simultaneous prodn. of 0.6 ton NaOH per

ton ClO2. The co-produced NaOH (~15 wt.%) can be used anywhere in

the mill to replace com. NaOH. With chlorate, reducing agent, and elec.

energy as the only raw materials, SVP-GLS is able to produce ClO2

without byproduct Na2SO4. SVP-GLS also provides superior

performance with respect to energy balance, prodn. capacity, prodn.

economy and ease of operation compared with other salt-free ClO2

prodn. alternatives. Because of the superior water balance in the

SVP-GLS system, the water load on the ClO2 generator is decreased

by *70%.

100% Chlorine dioxide substitution followed by oxidative alk. extn. is

rapidly becoming the chief method of kraft pulp delignification for

elemental chlorine-free (ECF) bleaching. This D0Eop process can be

improved so that less ClO2 is required in the initial D0 stage to achieve

full brightness after ECF bleaching, thus reducing formation of

chlorinated org. compds. while reducing the ClO2 generator capacity

required to reach full brightness. This work describes a process where

sodium nitrite under acidic conditions is added just after the D0 stage,

without interstage washing, to "activate" the pulp for subsequent Eop

extn. and D1D2 bleaching to full brightness. Using this technique, the

kappa factor can be reduced from .18 to .15, while using only 1.3%

ClO2 in the two downstream brightening stages to achieve 90

brightness.

Com. chlorine dioxide generators are operated in an about 4.5-mol/L

important pathway to generate chlorine dioxide under such a condition.

On the basis of the product detn., we found that, in the absence of a

chloride ion, chloric acid, hypochlorous acid, and chlorine, rather than

chlorine dioxide, are the products from the chlorous acid

disproportionation. However, chloride addn. to the chlorous acid soln.

under otherwise the same condition results in the generation of chlorine

dioxide. The underlying mechanism of the chloride effect on the

chlorous acid disproportionation is discussed.

To gain an understanding of the factors that det. bleachability in the final

stages of an elemental chlorine-free bleaching sequence, conventional

and modified kraft pulps were prepd. in the lab. and bleached in a

D0(EO)D1ED2 sequence with varied applications of ClO2 in the D, and

D2 stages. After delignification at a const. kappa factor, the extent of

D1 brightening was detd. by ClO2 consumption and pulp type, but not by

unbleached kappa no. For a given brightness after the D1 stage,

modified pulping produced pulps that consumed less ClO2 than

conventional pulps. Brightening in the D2 stage was described by a

simple equation relating final brightness to ClO2 consumed. The

parameters in this equation may be interpreted in terms of a brightness

ceiling and a rate of approach to the brightness ceiling, termed the D2

response factor. The brightness ceiling increased with increasing

levels of brightness entering the D2 stage, and was higher for modified

than for conventional pulps. The response factor decreased as the

entering brightness was increased and was higher for pulps of lower

unbleached kappa no.

The effects of chelating agents, peracetic acid (PAA) and alk. peroxide

on the replacement of chlorine dioxide and hypochlorite in D-E0-H-D

bleaching of oxygen delignified hardwood kraft pulp were studied in a

lab. scale. Since an increased use of peroxygen chems. necessitates

a use of a chelating agent, both DTPA (diethylene triamine pentaacetic

acid) and a new chelating agent with low nitrogen content [diethanol

amine succinate (DEAS)] were tested. Peracetic acid was used here

as a bleaching agent in combination with chlorine dioxide in a D2

stage. Also the effect of peracetic acid on post-bleaching of

O-D-EOP-D bleached softwood kraft pulp was studied. The bleaching

expts. indicate that the importance of a chelation prior to E0 stage

increases with the decreasing active chlorine charge in the D1 stage

and increasing peroxide charge in the E0 stage. With a sequence of

Q/D-EOP-Q/D/PAA the total active chlorine charge in D-E0-H-D

dropped from 48 kg act. Cl/tp to 20 kg act. Cl/tp by using 10 kg H2O2/tp

in the E0 stage and 5 kg peracetic acid/tp in the D2 stage. Also 8 kg

hypochlorite/tp were eliminated at the same time. The use of DEAS in

the Q/D stage gave more improved pulp properties for bleached pulp

than the use of DTPA correspondingly.

This paper considers the efficiency of particle removal with

chlorine-free bleaching chems. when producing fully bleached softwood

kraft pulps. Comparisons are made between bleaching with hydrogen

peroxide, peracetic acid, ozone, and chlorine dioxide. The reaction

patterns for the bleaching agents were studied when shives and fibers

were treated in sep. expts. Also, the efficiency of particle removal in

TCF and ECF sequences were compared when shives or knots were

added to particle- free pulp before bleaching. Our results show that

hydrogen peroxide in a QP-sequence is very efficient in removing

particles at a given delignification degree. Furthermore, in a

microscopic study, we found that the reaction pattern for hydrogen

peroxide in a QP-bleaching position is similar to that of chlorine

dioxide, as the delignification seems to occur evenly across the shive.

On the contrary, ozone bleaching of shives is an extreme surface

reaction; hence, the particle thickness should be even more crit. when

bleaching with ozone than with other bleaching chems. In a QPQ(PO)*

sequence, it is possible to obtain the same degree of shive elimination

as with ECF bleaching. If an ozone or peracetic acid stage precede a

final hydrogen peroxide stage, problems with pulp cleanliness may

appear. However, mech. treatment after final bleaching seems to

improve shive elimination in all TCF sequences. This suggests that

shive elimination in TCF bleaching can be as effective as in ECF

bleaching.

The bacterial regrowth potential (BRP) and the byproducts formation

potential after the disinfection (DBP) are parameters recognized to be

influenced by the origin of org. matter dissolved in water. A significant

difference of the impact of humic compds. and algogenic org. matter

(AOM), characteristic for raw waters from reservoirs, to both

parameters can be assumed. In systematic lab. expts. the influence of

AOM on the BRP as well as DBP was examd. Different fractions of the

AOM were chlorinated and treated with chlorine dioxide. In addn. to

that the influence of the ozonation was investigated. To assess the

biodegradable fraction of the org. matter (BDOC) a large spectrum of

byproducts (aldehydes and keto-acids) was analyzed. The BRP in the

water was detd. by the measurement of the increase of biomass in the

water samples. It could be proved, that the chlorination of intact algae

cells contg. waters may cause a significant increase of the

biodegradability in the water if the residual chlorine is totally required.

In the case of the disinfection of the AOM contg. waters with chlorine

dioxide the relative increase of the BRP was lower in comparison to the

chlorinated waters. The preozonation of the algae contg. waters

indicates an addnl. increase of the BRP, but only by ozonation of the

algae cells. The ozonation of the algae metabolites does not influence

the BRP, but it causes a significant decrease of the THM-formation if

chlorine is used for disinfection.

The various practical difficulties encountered by an Indian paper mill in

changing over from a conventional C-Ep-H-H bleaching sequence to a

C-Ep-D-E-D sequence, and the measures undertaken in surmounting

some of the difficulties to meet the set targets of higher pulp brightness

with better brightness stability, less pollution, and product quality

up-gradation, are discussed. In downward tower design, absorption of

the ClO2 by the pulp at higher dosages was less and led to ClO2

emissions. In such a situation, pulp brightness of 84.0%+ with better

strength properties could be obtained with C-Ep-D-E/H-D-SO2

sequence, facilitating the use of this high-brightness pulp for

high-brightness paper grades. By introducing peroxide in the E1 stage

and hypo in the E2 stage, a savings of ClO2 and a decrease of color in

the alkali backwater effluent could be achieved.

As pulp mills convert their bleaching systems to elemental Cl-free

(ECF) sequences, the simplest soln. is to increase the ClO2 capacity.

A typical mill bleaching softwood has available ~1.5% ClO2, but this

capacity would have to be increased to 4% to achieve ECF by the

conventional approach. Other options to achieving ECF bleaching,

without increasing the ClO2 capacity are presented. H2O2 can be

substituted for ClO2, since it is readily available at the mill, and min.

capital is required for its implementation. It is very important to control

the metal ion profile in pulps to optimize the performance of H2O2.

A(PDTMP) and (AQ)P are used to minimize the decompn. of peroxide.

The sequence chosen was D(PO)DDP, since it can be retrofitted into

an existing (CD)(EOP)DED bleach plant. A brightness of 87% ISO can

be achieved using 31 kappa no. pulp with 1.5% ClO2 and 2% H2O2.

The (PO) stage can either be a fully pressurized system or a (PO)ht

system with shortened retention time under pressure and higher temps.

As a result, a mill may want to evaluate this option for achieving ECF

bleaching, instead of investing in addnl. ClO2 capacity. If addnl.

decreases in color, AOX, and COD are desired, a sequence such as

(AQ)(PO)DDP can be chosen. This sequence can also be easily

retrofitted into an existing (CD)(EOP)DED bleach plant. A brightness

of 85% ISO could be achieved using 0.7% ClO2 and 3% H2O2 with a 31

kappa no. pulp. In the above sequence, the filtrate for the (AQ)(PO)

stages can be recycled back to the recovery system.

The paper reports the results of an investigation aimed to find out the

reactions occurring in aq. soln. between two very common

disinfectants, sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) and chlorine dioxide (ClO2),

and two herbicides widely used in agriculture and frequently found into

groundwaters: ametryn and isoproturon. Under controlled exptl.

conditions [20*, pH 7, reaction time 48h, herbicide/disinfectant molar

ratios: 0.05 and 0.05*10-2], ametryn reactions with chlorine dioxide are

much slower than with sodium hypochlorite, whereas the opposite trend

has been obsd. for isoproturon. In any case, however, the higher the

reagents concn. the faster the reactions. As for reactions byproducts,

they have been detected by HPLC and identified by HPLC-MS. In

particular, ametryn (R-S-CH3) reaction with NaClO gives rise to the

consecutive formation of four derivs.: the sulfoxide (R-SO-CH3), the

sulfone (R-SO2-CH3), the sulfonate ester (R-O-SO2-CH3) and its

hydrolysis product (R-OH). Within the fixed reaction time (48h),

ametryn reaction with ClO2 forms only the sulfoxide deriv. (R-SO-CH3).

As for isoproturon, it reacts with both oxidants forming arom.-ring

substituted derivs. In particular, during the reactions with NaClO and

ClO2, four and two (chlorinated and/or hydroxylated) derivs. are resp.

formed.

ClO2 gas is generated by contacting a feedstream of Cl2 gas with

NaClO2 and 1-30 wt.% of a hydrated inorg. salt contg. water of crystn.,

esp. Na2SO4.10H2O. The inorg. salt releases its water of hydration,

providing moisture to enhance prodn. of ClO2. The method increases

the amt. of ClO2 produced by a NaClO2 column, and increases the

generating lifetime of the column. The NaClO2 and hydrated inorg. salt

can be admixed in a single column, provided as sep. layers within a

single column, or provided in sep. columns.

ClO2 is produced by reacting an alkali metal chlorate (e.g., NaClO3)

with CH3OH, metal chloride (e.g., NaCl), and H2O2 (at <50%) as

reducing agents in an aq. acidic medium (e.g., H2SO4, HCl, H3PO4,

HNO3, HClO3) at 20-140癈, esp 50-75癈. A catalyst may be used,

selected from AgNO3, MnSO4, V2O5, Ru oxide, Rh oxide and PdO. The

reaction can be carried out at atm. pressure or sub-atm. pressure. The

combination of these reducing agents causes an unexpected

enhancement in ClO2 generation.
