Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of reconstituted tobacco leaves, in particular to a water circulation system and method for producing tobacco sheets by a papermaking method. Background Art

[0002] Papermaking tobacco flakes are tobacco products (hereinafter referred to as tobacco flakes) that are processed and reorganized using papermaking technology, using tobacco waste stems, flakes, etc. in cigarette production as raw materials. They have the characteristics of low density, high filling value, excellent processability, and strong plasticity of product intrinsic quality and style characteristics. Driven by the goal of improving the quality of Chinese cigarette products, the production technology and quality of tobacco flakes have developed rapidly, and in recent years, they have developed into an important raw material for Chinese cigarettes. At present, the industry adopts the "separation before combination" flake production process, that is, the tobacco raw materials are first soaked in hot water (also known as extraction) and then squeezed to achieve solid-liquid separation, and then the liquid phase (i.e., the extract) is purified, concentrated, and flavored to form a coating liquid, and the solid phase (i.e., pulp) is pulped, fiberized (mainly wood pulp) and filled (mainly light calcium carbonate), and dehydrated to form a base sheet; then the coating liquid is applied to the base sheet to achieve reorganization, and then dried and cut to form tobacco flakes for cigarette processing.

[0003] The core process of tobacco flake production line is papermaking process, which uses papermaking machine and auxiliary system which are basically the same as those in traditional papermaking industry to form the prepared pulp into paper-like flakes after molding and multi-stage dehydration. As in papermaking industry, the preparation and papermaking of pulp must be dispersed in water, and the paper machine is a dehydration process, and the dehydrated long net, blanket, etc. need to be cleaned. Therefore, a large amount of water is required in tobacco flake production. Generally, about 35-50m3 of clean water is consumed for each ton of product produced. 3 (called water consumption per ton of production, or water consumption for short); and due to the particularity of tobacco flakes, it is inconvenient to use or overuse water treatment process additives such as PAM, PAC, etc. in production, resulting in a low reuse rate of reclaimed water in the water system. In order to maintain the cleanliness of the water system (residual conditions of fine fibers, fillers, anions and cations, etc.), it is necessary to continuously replenish and replace water, further exacerbating the problems of high water consumption and high emissions; and excessive treatment brings about a series of problems such as increased loss of available materials (such as fine fibers, fillers, etc.), increased difficulty in treatment and increased costs.

[0004] In the water system of tobacco flake production line, the water removed from the pulp in the paper machine net is generally called concentrated white water. After simple purification, it is mainly used for pulp dilution and concentration adjustment, and then returned to the pulp system for recycling; the water collected after the paper machine net cleaning and the press felt cleaning is generally called dilute white water. After multi-stage purification, it is used for net cleaning again. Among them, the cleaning of the press felt mainly uses heated clean water. However, since the tobacco flake industry started and developed later than the papermaking industry, the design cognition of the water system varies from company to company, and the differences are large due to different process and equipment selection. 1) In the water system of a certain manufacturer's production line, the concentrated and dilute white water is not clearly distinguished. The water removed and collected by the paper machine is concentrated together (that is, the concentrated and dilute white water is mixed). After the first-level filtration and purification, it is used for pulp dilution and concentration adjustment, and after the second-level centrifugal purification, it is used for net cleaning. There are problems such as unclear division of the water system, accumulation of impurities in the water, water for net cleaning does not meet the water quality requirements, and low cleaning efficiency of the long net. 2) In the water system of a certain second manufacturer’s production line, there is no clear distinction between concentrated and dilute white water. After the concentrated and dilute white waters are mixed and treated at multiple stages, they are mixed with clean water in proportion to meet the water quality requirements for cleaning the mesh. There are problems such as high water consumption and complicated process flow. 3) In the water system of a certain third manufacturer’s production line, there is a distinction between concentrated and dilute white waters, but the dilute white water is purified by filtration and flotation in two stages. A certain amount of flocculation aids are used in the flotation process. Due to the problem of control over the use of aids, the process is facing elimination, and the two-stage purification still cannot meet the long mesh cleaning requirements. 4) In the water system of a certain fourth manufacturer’s production line, the cleanliness of the water used in the paper machine system is not guaranteed. The pulp is washed before it goes online to remove fine components in the pulp in advance and reduce its contamination of the paper machine’s long mesh and felts. However, this leads to problems such as increased loss of available materials, reduced product yield, and increased difficulty in sewage treatment.

[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to optimize and improve the existing water system, reduce the waste of available materials, avoid problems such as excessive treatment of reclaimed water, and at the same time achieve water conservation and ensure that water quality meets standards.

[0054] Example 1

[0055] A water circulation system for producing tobacco sheets by papermaking method:

[0056] The water system of the whole line is divided into four relatively independent and related units: clean water unit I, dilute white water unit II, concentrated white water unit III, and extraction and concentration water unit IV. The relevant capacity of the paper machine is a speed of 160m / min, a width of 1880mm, and a base sheet weight of 58±2gsm, that is, the paper machine capacity is about 1.05t / h (calculated based on absolute dry base sheet). According to the coating rate of 36±2% and the product moisture of 11.0±1.5%, the production line capacity is about 1.84t / h (calculated based on normal products).

[0057] 1) Clean water unit I starts with hot water tank 1, which is mainly used for spray cleaning of felts in the press section of the paper machine. After the condensed water from each steam point is collected and heat energy is recovered (flash evaporation), it enters hot water tank 1 with municipal clean water, and after being heated to 70±5°C by steam, it is pumped to each spray point of the felt in the press section of the paper machine for spray cleaning of the felt in the press section of the paper machine. The felt after spray cleaning is vacuum-sucked by a vacuum box (to remove moisture and impurities on the felt) to obtain the material after suction (gas-liquid mixture), and then the obtained material after suction is separated into gas and liquid by a vacuum separator, and the gas is transported to the vacuum pump group, about 50m 3 / hThe liquid is collected and transported to the white water pressing tank 3. The effluent after being filtered by the white water pressing filter 4 (the mesh size is 150 mesh) is divided into about 75% of the dilute white water unit and about 25% of the concentrated white water unit, and the slag phase is discharged; the clean water unit is a one-way mode, and water does not circulate in the unit.

[0058] 2) The dilute white water unit II is centered on the C-class white water tank 10, which is mainly used for spray cleaning of the paper machine wire section; the effluent from the press white water filter 4 and the dilute white water collected by the wire white water tray enter the dilute white water tank 5 for mixing and are purified by the white water centrifuge 6 (flow rate is about 60-62m 3 / h) to a solid suspended matter content of 300-500ppm to form Class B white water, which is then filtered through a ceramic membrane filter 9 to a solid suspended matter content of 8-10ppm to form Class C white water that enters a Class C white water tank 10, thereby realizing the recycling and renewal of the dilute white water.

[0059] 3) Concentrated white water unit III is centered on the Class A white water tank 11, which is used for dilution and concentration of the slurry; the effluent from the squeezed white water filter 4 of the clean water unit I and the effluent (white water) from the broken paper filter enter the Class A white water tank 11, and the outlet of the Class A white water tank 11 is connected to the dilution water pump and the concentration water pump in sequence through pipelines. The solid phase material formed by extraction and squeezing is diluted once and concentrated five times (total flow rate is about 43-45m 3 / h) to form pre-papermaking pulp, which is transported to the pre-papermaking pulp tank. The pre-papermaking pulp is then subjected to secondary pulping to form on-net pulp (the water for secondary pulping comes from the pulping white water bucket, which is connected to the concentrated white water outlet of the paper machine wire section). The concentrated white water (excluding the water for secondary pulping) discharged from the paper machine wire section enters the concentrated white water tank 12. The Class C white water discharged from the concentrated white water tank 12 and sprayed by the couch roll of the paper machine wire section enters the broke pool, mixed with the broke to form broke pulp, filtered through a broke filter (80 meshes) until the solid suspended matter content is 3500-4000ppm, formed into Class A white water, which flows back to the Class A white water tank 11, so as to realize the recycling and renewal of the concentrated white water.

[0060] 4) The extraction concentration water unit IV is centered on the extraction hot water tank 13 and is used for extracting tobacco raw materials to form an extract; the Class C white water coming out of the Class C white water tank 10 of the dilute white water unit II is heated by steam in the extraction hot water tank 13 to form extraction hot water, and is subjected to three-stage continuous countercurrent extraction in the extraction liquid tank 14 to form an extract, which enters the concentration evaporator 15 for concentration, and the formed concentrate is collected in the concentrate tank 17. The excess water in the extract is collected in the form of evaporated condensed water in the evaporation condensed water tank 16, and then refluxed to the Class B white water tank 7 of the dilute white water unit II, and is recycled and renewed with the dilute white water unit II.

[0061] The main water replenishment point of the entire system is the hot water tank 1 where municipal clean water is added. Other points will not be replenished unless there is an abnormality or the start of the shift. The main drainage (sewage) points are the Class A white water tank 11 for continuous sewage discharge, the concentrated white water tank 12 for continuous sewage discharge, the ceramic membrane filter 9 for continuous sewage discharge of concentrated water, and the white water centrifuge 6 for continuous sewage discharge of slag phase.

[0062] According to production operation statistics, the system designed in Example 1 of the present invention consumes about 32.0 to 34.0 tons of water per ton of product produced; that is, about 32.0 to 34.0 tons of clean water (statistical data of the clean water main flow meter) is required for every ton of product produced, and about 38.0 to 40.0 tons of various types of sewage are discharged (statistical data of the flow meter after the workshop sewage collection well). The long net is used for about 140-150 days, and the blanket is used for about 55-60 days.

[0063] Note: The amount of clean water plus the amount of steam is the amount of sewage discharged. After being used in various places, the steam forms condensed water, enters the water system for circulation, and finally becomes sewage discharge.

[0064] The water system of a certain manufacturer's production line does not clearly distinguish between concentrated and diluted white water. The water removed and collected by the paper machine is concentrated together (i.e., the concentrated and diluted white water is mixed). After the first-level filtration and purification, it is used for pulp dilution and concentration adjustment, and after the second-level centrifugal purification, it is used for net cleaning. There are problems such as unclear division of the water system, accumulation of impurities in the water, water used for net cleaning does not meet the water quality requirements, and low cleaning efficiency of the long net. According to the survey, it requires about 42.0 to 44.0 tons of clean water for every ton of product produced, and discharges about 50.0 to 52.0 tons of various sewage. The long net is used for about 100-120 days, and the blanket is used for about 35-40 days.

[0065] The water system of a certain manufacturer's production line did not clearly distinguish between concentrated and diluted white water. After the concentrated and diluted white water were mixed and treated at multiple levels, they were mixed with clean water in proportion to meet the water quality requirements for cleaning water in the net part. There were problems such as high water consumption and complicated process flow. According to the survey, it takes about 46.0 to 48.0 tons of clean water to produce 1 ton of product, and discharges about 52.0 to 54.0 tons of various sewage. The long net is used for about 120-140 days, and the blanket is used for about 50-55 days.

[0066] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by a person of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed by the present invention shall still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
