[0044] A process that does not involve alkaline treatment prior to ozonation is used to treat mechanical pulp made from pine wood.

[0045] Points 1 and 2 correspond to the results obtained from normal TMP refining, where pine wood was used as raw material.

[0046] Figure 5 and point 5 in Figure 6 corresponds to the results obtained from a process in which ozonated pine rejects were mixed with non-ozonated pine accepts. No base is added.

[0047] Figure 5 and point 7 in Figure 6 correspond to the results obtained from a process in which ozonated pine rejects were mixed with ozonated pine acceptors. No base is added.

[0048] as from Figure 5 As can be seen in Figure 6, energy savings of +20% and better strength properties compared to normal pine treatment were achieved by ozonated pine rejection.

example 1

[0050] The first process option is described below by referring to FIG. 1 .

[0051] The raw material of mechanical pulp is first dewatered, for example in a thickener 1 such as a screw press, and then the raw material is sent to a refiner 2, where the raw material, for example pine chips, is refined in a first stage at elevated temperature and is refined under pressure to form mechanical pulp. The concentration during the refining process is approximately 30%. The preferred raw material is pine wood, since the method of the invention is most advantageous when the raw material is pine wood compared to other processes. The first stage of refining is quite gentle; the pulp is refined to a freeness of 600 to 700ml CSF. Freeness values ​​can even be higher than 700ml CSF. The pulp is treated with an alkali such as sodium hydroxide in the alkali treatment reactor 3 . The pH of the first rejected stock was raised to a level between 9 and 11. There is a delay in caustic treatmen...

[0058] The second process is described below by referring to FIG. 2 .

[0059] The raw material of mechanical pulp is first dewatered, for example in a thickener 1 such as a screw press, and then the raw material is sent to a refiner 2, where the raw material, for example pine chips, is refined in a first stage at elevated temperature and is refined under pressure to form mechanical pulp. The consistency of the pulp is about 30%. The preferred raw material is pine wood, since the method of the invention is most advantageous when the raw material is pine wood compared to other processes. The first stage of refining is quite gentle; the pulp is refined to a freeness of 600 to 700ml CSF. The pulp is treated with an alkali such as sodium hydroxide in the alkali treatment reactor 3 . The pH of the first rejected stock was raised to a level between 9 and 11. There is a delay in caustic treatment reactor 3 such that the pulp remains in caustic treatment reactor for at least 0.5 h...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing mechanical pulp, the method comprising: introducing raw material of the mechanical pulp, refining the raw material in a first refining stage in order to form the mechanical pulp, adjusting the pH of the mechanical pulp between 9 and 11 in aprocess step in which a first process delay is arranged, the first process delay being at least 0.5 hours, sorting the mechanical pulp into a first accepted stock (A1) and a first rejected stock (R1), ozonizing the first rejected stock (R1) whose pH at the start of the ozonation process is between 9 and 11, refining the ozonated first rejected stock (R1) in a second refining stage so that at least a part of it will belong to a second accepted stock, and -combining the accepted stocks. The present invention also relates to the use of the mechanical pulp.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing mechanical pulp. Background technique [0002] The treatment of pulp with ozone is disclosed in publication FI 61926 and the corresponding publication DE 2444475. The pH of the pulp can be adjusted after ozonation. [0003] Publication FI 67412 and the corresponding publication CA1083870 disclose a process in which pulp is fractionated and one fraction, possibly the crude fraction, is treated with ozone. During ozonation, alkali is fed into the process. [0004] A problem associated with the ozonation process is that the process produces strong organic acids. Organic acids lower the pH of the pulp, which causes problems during bleaching, for example due to precipitated iron species in the treatment water. Organic acids also degrade processing equipment by causing corrosion. Contents of the invention [0005] The above-mentioned shortcoming can be overcome by the method of the present invent...
